+1 from me too. However I'm not sure about 2081 having attended a Scout presentation at ESE as part of a similar RT themed mini-tutorial/demo camp session. The problem they faced and will face is providing enough of an overview that attendees understand what the heck this new framework does before jumping into a hands on lab where they have to add code to some artifact to make something meaningful happen. I'm hopeful that Chris' proposed "hello world"/tracer bullet approach might help provide the necessary focus for such a short tutorial. It could either be a great success or massive failure. :) Shaun On 09/12/2010 7:07 PM, Peter Friese wrote: 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.

While this is completely fair due to limited tutorial slots and since the projects are new and not really established. However, I think we can do better by giving new projects a shot at some limited tutorial time... this will help them expose their project to an audience and also benefit the attendees by being exposed to something they may haven't of originally. What's a mini-tutorial? Well it would consist of up to 3 Eclipse.org projects that get an hour each to do a basic introduction and get you running up with a "Hello World" example. This would give new projects some time at EclipseCon and only eat up one of our tutorial spots (which I'm willing to sacrifice for this). On a side note, this should be possible with a well executed tutorial. If I can't get your project running with an hour with a "Hello World" example your project is doomed to fail anyway probably. We'd do a bit of coaching with these folks and demand that they provide the tutorial materials earlier than usual. The tutorial candidates I have for this idea are... 2302 - Hands-on introduction to Object Teams 2081 - Eclipse Scout: Apps to Go in 3h 2031 - Functional test automation for Eclipse applications with Jubula Of course we'd have to get the projects to agree to this but I don't imagine it being that much trouble versus them having no tutorial. What are people's thoughts here? -- Cheers, Chris Aniszczyk http://aniszczyk.org +1 860 839 2465 _______________________________________________ eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee mailing list eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee@xxxxxxxxxxx https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee_______________________________________________ eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee mailing list eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee@xxxxxxxxxxx https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee --
