Summarizing emails from this morning, especially from those
who can’t make the call (see below). I also received a request from
Selena to allow a talk on ALF and we can discuss that as well.
 
Short List:
 - 185 – RCP/OSGI talk by
     Jeff 
 
 - 77 – John Kaplan’s talk on contribution
     experience 
 
 - 21 – VE tutorial we
     declined (reconstituted as a long talk) 
 
 - 330 – Automotive vertical
     / EMF experience talk 
 
 - 40 – TPTP
     “Probekit” talk 
 
 
Gunnar: My votes go to 185, 77, 21
and 330. I think these will be good additional talks with useful information
for the community.
 
Ed:
1. http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=77
77 - John
 Kaplan's talk on contribution experience 
 
Reason: Submission 79 was
Combined at my request with this submission so both John
 Kaplan and Gunnar Wagenknecht (Philippe Ombredanne)
will be presenting. Contributions by people like them should be strongly
encouraged, and it should be a fun presentation.
 
2. http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=305
305 - Lessons from the
trenches: Developing integrated help sets and information centers for
large-scale projects
(Submission 187 should be
combined with this submission)
 
Reason: The presenters have
been very accomodating to my questions and have agreed to work together.
Note: I know this wasn't on
the short list but I think it should have been. (Note from Tim: Also a highly (hopefully
non-rigged) voted submission.)
 
3. http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=185
185 - RCP/OSGI talk by Jeff
McAffer 
 
Reason: Jeff is a great
speaker and OSGi needs to be well covered at the conference. See also
submissions 56, 176, 366.
 
4. http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21
21 - VE tutorial we declined
(reconstituted as a long talk) 
 
Reason: Presenters are
enthusiastic about it, and Visual Editing is one of those things that can touch
many users and extenders of Eclipse.
