I took a look through the short talk submissions last night;
most were high quality, but there’s a category of “gee, this sounds
a lot like a product demo/ad” so we’ll need to review our litmus
test for what counts a commercial plug versus a legitimate conference
presentation.
We’ll talk about the categorization of talks on the
call; as a preview, here are some of the buckets that sounded possible to me:
- New Technologies: Talks on
technology projects and other emerging/new ideas that involve Eclipse.
- EMF: There were several talks
on EMF topics.
- Languages: 3 or 4 talks had a
language bias.
- Plugsin Gone Wild: SOA plugins,
native code plugins, JVMs as plugins, etc.
- Admin/Deploy/Production: Talks
related to either using Eclipse as an admin/deploy console or deploying
Eclipse itself within the enterprise
- Build: 2-3 talks had a strong
build focus
- RCP: So many talks in this
category that we would either need multiple tracks or break it down
further
- CDT: ~3 talks on CDT topics
- Business: ~3 business talks. We
might be able to find a couple more if we want to try to fill up a “Business
Track” room.
- Test and Perf: TPTP and other
testing/per/monitoring infrastructure
- Then there was a large “misc”
category that seemed like it would benefit from further breakdown…perhaps
“Cool Apps” to collect some experience and application papers,
and if we want to permit some of the more commercial-flavored talks, then
they might be grouped into a category, etc.
