Hi all -- I'll be emailing all the tutorial presenters next week, so ideally you guys will have a plan by Feb. 14 so I can include the info in that email. Thanks!

Given the overwhelming response, I'd say no one?

I think we need to find a lower overhead solution. What I'd like to see is a mailing list set up so that we can nag the presenters. Remind them of the timeline we're expecting. Give us access to the materials so we can review as a group. Thoughts on that?

(the fear of bad tutorials is why I hate tutorials ;)...

:D

That's the question, how many PC members are willing to mentor 1 tutorial? That means reviewing their slides and making sure they stay on the (more or less) agreed to schedule? 

Having done a tutorial in the past and shown up with way more content than the time could sustain, I would like others to avoid our mistakes. Then again, I felt we had good content and good installable units, but it was just too much for the time we were given. Especially given that the presenters and the audience were not all native English speakers, I would prefer to give small bites that taste good than a full belly that tastes bad. Is that wrong?

I volunteer to review material.

Of the 16 tutorials, 3 are ALM, one OSGi, and 2 have PC members as speakers. That leaves about 10 for us to review.

Subject	[eclipsecon-na-program-committee] tutorial mentoring, checklist,        etc.

Hi again everyone,

Eric and I communicated a bit more about tutorial mentoring. Eric suggested a checklist and timeline -- it's here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseCon_Tutorial_Guidelines#Mentorship_and_Checklist_for_Tutorial_Presenters

To make this work, we need PC members to volunteer as material reviewers and/or mentors ASAP so I can email the presenters early next week to give them enough time to get a decent draft done by Feb. 20. I'd prefer not to have later deadlines if we can make this timeline work.

Volunteers? Comments?

Thanks.
