200 isn't a tycho talk. Did you mean 201? That one's tycho but it's not currently accepted. I'm not seeing two "in1" tycho talks unless I'm missing one.

I agree, I bumped up my vote on this one.

You're right. I guess the introductory talk would have the widest appeal. The other two BIRT talks are on fairly advanced BIRT customization which will have a narrower audience. I increased my vote on:

Actually, there are three p2 case studies. "Show my your plugins and I'll show you mine" is also a p2 talk. This makes 4 out of the 10 accepted RT talks related to p2, which is definitely too much. I lowered my vote on these
two to help even things out:
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2012/sessions/show-me-your-plug-ins-and-ill-show-you-mine
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2012/sessions/its-raining-bytes-scaling-p2-using-cloud
My only other input is that Wayne/Denis have two very similar talks:
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2012/sessions/how-your-project-will-love-common-build-infrastructure
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2012/sessions/how-i-learned-stop-worrying-and-love-build
The second one is in Agile/ALM but I think it is much more widely interesting. The first one is only interesting to a narrow set of people - committers on new projects at Eclipse, or those moving to CBI for the first time.
This material is extremely important to that small set of people, but maybe it could be a webinar or written tutorial?
That's all I'm seeing right now. This is getting tougher and tougher...
