All,
I think we reached consensus that it would be a good idea to have a
simplified version of the external description of the EclipseCon
categories. I have re-worked the category descriptions a bit and
filled in some misses from the first round. The re-worked categories
are up on the spread-sheet
plus I have just copied them into the email for your convenience.
At this point, I just want to work with total hours of presentation
time, once we get agreement that the categories are correctly named and
we have the allocations appropriately balanced, I will take a stab at
the Tutorial, Long, Main Stage, and Short Talk allocations. If you
feel your category is not getting appropriate representation, now is
the time to speak up.
NOTE: I added 8 hours to the total to take in account the addition of
the Linux DevCon
Additional questions:
1) Do the External Category Descriptions (first column in Bold)
make sense?
2) Do we have the right balance between the various External Categories?
3) Did I miss any internal categories?
4) Do the internal category names make sense?
5) Is the balance good for the internal categories?

Finally, I wanted to share a personal milestone with all of you. Today
was our last big "First Day Of School". Both of my kids, Sam (pre-k)
and Louise (1st grade) are now in school. Like most proud parents we
had to take a picture, nice photo except for the goon in the blue shirt.
