Another one that Ian keeps bringing up. We have no BIRT content at the moment. Even the tutorial has fallen off the list.

 

BTW, I’m looking at the Cool Stuff and the bottom three talks there stick out as candidates to drop, please take a look 70, 373, 230. Also the KINECT talk is a candidate awaiting Ian’s confirmation, 116.

Our feedback has always been that technical topics trump soft ones. That’s probably why the community talks rank lower. And looking at them, there’s nothing that jumps out at me.

 

As for the others, we can talk. But for everyone you want to add, you should have one you want removed. We are three over.

A couple of comments from reviewing the "in1" tagged items.

Community is sorely under represented.  Only 1 talk accepted, and that is talk number 80, about not forgetting the users.   I think we really need to review the community talks again, and see if we can get a couple of others in.  Eclipse to me is about community and building the community around your project.

The Java J2EE Tooling talks are not represented at all, and WTP is a top level project.   The following talks represent J2EE, 330, 326, 53, and 42.   Of those, I think at least either 330 or 53 should be in the program.   I know the area is not exciting, but J2EE is still heavily used in the corporate environment, and deserves some slots on the program.

I'm also surprised that 185 isn't rated higher than it is for mobile development.

In the modelling area, I'd like to promote 266.  Healthcare is a HUGE area right now.  Should keep in mind that we are in Washington DC, where there is a huge push right now for data standards around health care.  I know Dave Carlson, and have seen him speak, he is good.

I'm going to be travelling all day on Tuesday, and will have limited availability on Monday/

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.

Sorry I meant 201.  I think Doug has updated to not have this one accepted.

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?

fwiw, Denis and Wayne's talk in the ALM track will be accepted.

That's all I'm seeing right now. This is getting tougher and tougher...

John
