Re: [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Category Revisions

• I'm happy with Platform ext and Platform int.
• I like the broad categorizations.
• The overall ext splits seems good
• 8hrs seems a lot for Reporting which is just one specific area (e.g. compared to SOA at 9hr which could be massive). Same comment for Test and Performance at 10.
• Note sure what happens in 8hrs for committer and contributor, seems high.
• Meanwhile, business and industry seems under represented at mere 3hrs, which could be quite broad.  Eclipse is only successful if it can be applied commercially (so we can all continue to get paid :>).  I'm thinking things like success stories or challenges in building commercial Eclipse based applications, industry comparisons and trends, etc. Is the issue here of audience, or that we tend not to get submissions in this area?
  
  Overall happy, the only one I feel at all strongly about is Business and Industry.

  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.
