Re: [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] A bit about the Code Camps from last year
|
Why not turn it into a competition?
At the beginning of the week we provide a number of problem statements
and at the end of the week people can submit their plugins for it and
we might hand out a price. If we make the problems big enough people
will have to collaborate.
At OOPSLA we had DesignFest [1] (Remember Bjorn?). At DesignFest
people got a requirements document and they had to come up with a
design. If we could do such an event during tutorial time we could
create designs people could work on in their spare time during the
remainder of the week. DesignFest had general problems but in this
case we could focus on problems that could be implemented with a few
bundles. Of course the problems would have to be small enough. Would
be really interesting to do this with some experienced people that
know some parts of Eclipse in and out. And notice the fight between
extension points and services. Could be highly educational!
Some problems:
Quicksilver/Ubiquity functionality for Eclipse
New Online/Offline Build system for Eclipse
Bundle Dependency Viewer
Repository Manager
...
I might be willing to pull that cart. However, just and idea ...
Kind regards,
Peter Kriens

The code camps were great last year if you needed a place with
power, coffee
and peace :)
In my opinion, the original objective of getting people together to
hack on
things didn't work out well. This was mostly, in my opinion, a lack of
organization on our part. Last year, we simply just said there was
going to
be a code camp and expected people to show up. This year, we should
aim to
utilize the space more by:
- having some type of schedule or even a track as suggested on
the call
that is staffed by people from certain projects
- allow people giving talks to elect to use the room as a place to
further discussions after a talk is completed (this should be made
well
known to presenters)
Other than that, don't remove the limitless supply of coffee :P
Thoughts?
