| Re: [eclipsecon-na-program-committee] FW: feedback on rejected talks for EclipseCon 2012 |
For the submission abstract I am fine if you want to classify it as a
product pitch and I certainly do not want to advocate a conference like
EclipseCon to be full of product pitch talks.
I do remember a PC call where you were mentioning some of the criteria for
accepting talks in the Agile ALM track. I could be misremembering the
conversation, but I thought the observation was made that there are many
products out there that are focused on Agile ALM. And I thought one of the
things that was clear is that Agile ALM track will allow talks not focused
on Eclipse projects or purely eclipse solutions for Agile ALM. I guess I
took that to mean that the Agile ALM track would be more open to allowing
agile talks that were technical in nature but perhaps had a focus that
highlighted products or non-eclipse projects that were relevant to Agile
ALM.
Perhaps this is a case of me hearing what I wanted to. ;-)

Tom,
Curious to know why you thought that? It was not my expectation and I
certainly hope I didn't mis-communicate on this. fwiw, when I read this
abstract it still sounds like a product pitch.

John,
There are really good and I think useful responses.
I would add for
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2012/sessions/agile-and-collaborative-development-mobile-apps
the following:
We try to avoid submissions that focused on product demos. This
submissions was seemed to be more focused on demoing Rational Team
Concert.

This was a good proposal and just barely missed the cut off.
There
was also a desire on the PC to cut down on "What's new" talks
because
they are often not exciting and people can get similar
information
from other sources such as New & Noteworthy. Also because Java
7 is
no longer new, and Java 8 is still far off, there won't be as
much
buzz about Java as last year. This will likely be a hotter
topic
again in 2013.

We could only accept a very small number of tutorials this year
(10)
and again this barely didn't make it. Out of the declined
tutorials
it had the second highest ranking, so if we had a couple more
tutorial slots it probably would have made it. One down-side is
that
this is quite an advanced topic, because not a lot of people
need to
extend JDT, and ObjectTeams customization is even more
specialized.
By contrast the CDT submitted a more introductory "hands on
with CDT"
tutorial this is very popular with a wide audience. Tutorials
generally work better for an introductory audience, so that is
something to consider for future years.

This was in Agile/ALM, so no comment.

This had a fairly high rating, but there was another submission
that
was very similar. To avoid duplication we only accepted one of
them (

).
