Calendar
Program
- One fewer concurrent session - less is more
- Tutorials are four hours instead of two - more opportunity to have
hands on time. Invite commercial learning companies.
- Moderated short talks versus open short talks
- Short talk sessions are cohesive.
- Moderator can change numbers of presenters (e.g. could be 1
long talk - discouraged)
- Moderator adds consistency and flow, guides Q&A makes
speaker intros
- Main Stage Presentations - save this for the very best talks for
your category
Session Allocations
- Two new categories: Runtime and E4
- Reserved category: a pool of un-allocated sessions that will be
given to the best remaining talks Group Vote
- Fewer concurrent sessions + two new categories + reserved
category = Fewer Sessions per Category
- Goal was to be fair
- There is no limit on the number of reserved talks that a category
can pick up
Committee
Responsibilities
- Create a category plan / description
- Recruit exceptional speakers
- Recruit moderators for short talks
- Promote, recruit others to promote
- Read submissions

- consolidate, combine, and downgrade (Tutorial to long, long to
short)
- Fill Category allocations
- Suggest entries for Reserved Sweepstake
Keynotes
- Each keynote will be a discussion between two domain experts
- Wanted to bring it back to subjects that are more relevant for
our community.
- The Future of IDE: Tim Wagner & Kevin McGuire
- Cloud Computing: Jeff Barr from Amazon Web Services with AWS
client Heroku (Rails deployment)
- Community and Communications: Clay Shirky and ...
QUALITY, QUALITY, QUALITY
- The program committee is responsible for presentation quality
- The expectations for what you get for being there are
going up
- Expertise alone does not make a good presentation
- A good subject will not overcome a boring or un-prepared
presenter
- How do we get not only good subjects, but great
presenters?
- There is no excuse for not being prepared, or not having a good
presentation
- Can we combine good presenters with strong technical experts (who
may not speak as well)
- Do we want a references section as part of the submission system?
- Can we implement a presentation review system? (new presenters
only?)
- Tutorials only?
- Main Stage too?
Next Meeting
- Category Descriptions - Complete?
- Review submission system & discuss logistics
- Main stage speaker ideas?
- New Conference Ideas
- how do we achieve more "You had to be there" moments
-
Try an Ignite Eclipse (a la Ignite)
track
- Try Eclipse
Karakoe
- Try Conference
