I should also mention 
that I listed 204 because it was explained to me (too late to do anything about 
it before) that this had actually been a “high priority” entry on the RCP theme 
list we reviewed, but we didn’t know that at the time and passed over it in our 
selections.
 
I’ve gotten several 
other “why didn’t you include XXX”, but mostly these were from the submitters. 
PHP was another notable omission, but the EMO used one of their slots to include 
that. Otherwise, I haven’t heard shock or surprise expressed about any holes in 
our current program.
 
I also searched for a 
more direct “replacement” talk on EMF experiences, but didn’t find any; if I 
missed something, that would be another obvious option for a 
substitute.

Of the list below, I 
like 204 the best.  But, it doesn’t seem fair to favor that instead of 40, 
which made our final short list.
 
We could agree to 
revote on the list below.

Program Committee 
Members,
 
The submitters of long talk #162, 
“Using EMF to Develop a Developer-friendly Framework” have withdrawn their talk 
due to professional obligations that will require them to be outside the 
US during the 
conference.
 
As such, we need another submission 
to fill this slot (currently Wednesday, March 22nd at 
2:15).
 
Some 
options:
 
http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40
40: Probing Java 
Application Behavior with Probekit (TPTP).
 
was our runner up in 
the last round of voting, with 4 PC votes.
 
http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=204
204: Go Wild with RCP: Anatomy of an 
RCP-based Smart Client Application
 
was another RCP talk that we 
declined with some regret, since Nick is the RCP UI lead and would be a great 
person to have present on RCP.
 
Excluding certain “irregular” votes, 
the top community votes in our declined stack are
 
http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=283
283: Developing RCP applications; an 
experience report (17 community votes)
 
40: See above. (11 community 
votes)
 
http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=75
75: Building Code Analysis Tools 
using the CDT DOM (9 community votes)
 
I’d like to close on a replacement 
ASAP since we need to let someone know that they’re on the hook to deliver a 
long talk with only a few weeks left before the deadline. If you’d like to 
nominate additional submissions, please respond to the mailing list on Monday; 
I’d like to then do a vote by email on Tuesday.
 
Finally, a reminder that we have a 
call this Friday, 10am-noon PST, to close on short talks. Please be 
reviewing/categorizing the short talks between now and 
then.
 
Thanks,
