Re: [eclipsecon-na-program-committee] Draft EclipseCon 2013 Call for Pap

Lars,

I think your comments were very helpful.   I did another draft of the CfP to
hopefully make things clearer.

I removed the term 'theme'.  I'd love to get to one theme for the conference
but it always seems to be a challenge to have something meaningful but not
exclude a large part of the community.

Btw, I have moved the document to google docs so hopefully it is easier to
view.

Hi Ian,

a good explanation, thanks.

If I had to choice, I properly would have a (one) theme for a conference
with different tracks (categories). But don't get me wrong, the text is
absolutely ok this way and can be used; I just wanted to share my
observations.

Best regards, Lars
