I'm in for a post mortem.

One thing I think the next PC should
focus on is an even more open process. I'd like to see the PC add comments
on submissions rather than capture comments in e-mails or spreadsheets.
I think some reasoning behind a rejection decision will go a long way to
help people feel they didn't waste time on their submission and help them
improve future submissions. This will take some time but should be manageable
if the comments are added as decisions are made (rather than all at the
end).

I agree with Ed's comments about setting
up topics for short rooms ahead of time. I read and heard a lot of complaints
from people running from room to room during the short talks, which, if
I remember correctly, is exactly what Tim was concerned would happen.

+1 on all of these comments.
 Ok, enough with the love fest.  J
 
Would anyone be interested
in doing a “post mortem” on EclipseCon 2006, the role of the Program
Committee, Eclipsezilla, etc.?  My experience with stuff like this
is that it’s better to talk about it right afterwards and take some great
notes for the next time.  I’ve started writing some things down,
but a group discussion might be fun.  (Beer would help.)
 
Any takers?  
 
Doug

...and thanks to you, Tim! You
organized and led the Program Committee to a major success! IMHO EclipseCon
2006 was the best ever and it's significantly due to your contributions.
Great job!
Best,

Nancy and Erin,
 
Thank you so much for your help in organizing
the program, especially the last minute details with the short talks. Your
efforts and organizational skills really made it possible to execute on
our program, and I personally appreciate all your support, time responses,
and polite handling of exceptional cases.
 
Best wishes,
 
 
Tim Wagner, on behalf of the program committee
