Re: [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Mini-Tutorial Showcase Id

[Peter Friese <peter.friese@xxxxxxxxx>]

I like the idea. 

Overall, I'm very much in favor of
a) giving new projects a chance to present their project
b) giving Eclipse newbies the chance to learn what Eclipse is all about.

Let's not forget not everyone at EclipseCon is a committer or a long-term Eclipse user who knows his way around in the Eclipse universe.

So, thumbs up for this idea.
