[eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Feedback from EC Boston

Hi all,

My very personal opinion on talks in Boston:

O'Grady: Developers are the New Kingmakers
Entertaining, but nothing really new was said

Hammond: Moving towards ALM 3.0
Again, nice talk, but not enough for a keynote

Merks: Art of Java Performance Tuning
Interesting, great insight, a bit to much repetition on certain aspects

Tiede: Continuous testing with Jubula
What should I say: great talk. Okay, seriously: a technical talk with
topic interesting to a limited audience.

Moffatt: Eclipse 4 goes formal
Talk missed its abstract completely

Lippert, Dos Santos: Lessons of restructuring plugin-based software
Martin couldn't make it. I lost focus halfway through the talk.

Bresson, Schladebeck: Testing a Scout ApplicationŠ
Sponsored talk, but fun nonetheless. Again, I'm biased

Sewe, Bruch; Code Recommenders
Marcel only listened to the talk ;-) Interesting, but Andreas isn't a
great presenter.

Holman: How GitHub works
Entertaining and refreshing

Seibert: Future of Mobile Development
Really bad keynote, more of a sales pitch.

Kelly: Continuous Happiness
Can't remember anything about the talk. (And I was sober!)

Prouvost: Injection in Eclipse 4
Interesting technical talk

Hipps: Test Strategies for Agile Teams
If I remember correctly a mixture of interesting tidbits and long boring
passages.

Schladebeck: Designing software with users and testers in mind
Okay, another talk from Alex. Great content and among the top 10 rated
talks

Stepper: Now that I've got a model - Where's my application?
As usual Eike delivered an interesting talk with great demo contents. This
talk is already accepted for EC France. We shouldn't go for another run.

Laskey: Nashorn
Most uninspired and boring keynote I've ever heard.

Efftinge, Schindle: Xtended JavaFX
Great talk, interesting demos

Lagarde: Stop throwing your doc away
Interesting topic, I did have my problems understanding the presenter.

Schindl: Modern Uis with JavaFX, ISGi, etc
Again, interesting topic and great demos

Rapicault, Palmiero: Automating the consumption of Eclipse for internal use
Tried to put to much into the talk. I didn't get the point.


Ralph and I talked to Eric Clayberg (former Instantiation, now Google)
about having him talk about Dart tooling based on Eclipse. He seems
interested. For this who don't know Eric: he has worked a long time on
Eclipse technology, co-authored a book about plug-in development and
served on the Eclipse Board of Directors. Window Builder, Window Tester,
etc have been developed by his former company.
