RE: [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Call agenda and update

["Braunstein, Mike (GE Healthcare)" <Michael.Braunstein@xxxxxxxxxx>]

My regrets I won't be able to attend today's call.

 

There's really only 2 in the list I feel strongly about advocating for, 185 and 330.  For 185, I agree with Ed and Paul (from an early PC meeting) that OSGI needs coverage as it is probably not well understood.  With 330, I'm always interested in practical applications for technology when possible.  As Ian (I think it was Ian??) said last week Friday, that this one not only is unique and interesting, it also shows EMF use on a scale not really covered up until now.  This talk also helps extend the visibility of the vertical space Eclipse is moving towards (Healthcare, etc).

 

The rest look like excellent talks as well and any of them seem to be appropriate for the program.

Subject: [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Call agenda and update

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.
