Re: [eclipsecon-na-program-committee] Welcome to EclipseCon 2014!
Hi Ian,

I did receive the email but still getting caught up from holidays. I have now filled in the doodle poll. I have a regular conflict at 11am EDT on Thursdays, but I can miss that once a month if that time works for others. On Fridays I am usually completely open, but it happens next week I have an intake interview at my kid's school so I likely can't make September 6th.

John

Last week I sent a welcome email to the list and a link to a doodle so we can pick the time for our first meeting. Unfortunately nobody has responded to the poll yet. I'm not sure if that's because everyone is busy / on vacation, or because the email didn't actually get delivered.

Did anybody receive an email from me last week? (Ian and Anne also sent an email to the list).

Cheers,
Ian

Thanks to everyone for agreeing to help out with the EclipseCon PC. I am looking forward to another great conference.

 

One thing we need to start working on is the keynotes. It would be great if we can start suggesting ideas on the wiki.  https://www.eclipsecon.org/wiki/2014_Program_Committee#Ideas

 

Thanks

Ian

Hi everyone, and welcome to the EclipseCon 2014 Program Committee! 

 

Thank-you so much for agreeing to join the PC! I'm really looking forward to working with all of you. For those of you that have been on the PC before, welcome back. For those of you that are new to the Program Committee, Welcome! and please don't hesitate to ping me if you have any questions.

 

EclipseCon has always been my favourite conference. The technical content is outstanding, the opportunities for collaboration are endless and the Eclipse Family is one of the friendliness groups of people I've ever met. 

 

Ian S. and I tried to put together a diverse committee with representation from all around the Eclipse community. While each of you have technical expertise in different areas of Eclipse, I'm really hoping that everyone participates in the selection of the entire program. This really is 'our' EclipseCon, let's make it a great one!

 

Over the next few months the Program Committee will focus on the following things:
1.        Decide on themes and topic areas.
2.        Help identify keynote speakers.
3.        Identify and invite other speakers that might not otherwise consider EclipseCon.
4.        Help promote the call for submissions.
5.        Pick the early bird (if we choose to have this again). Everyone will be asked to pick their Top 5 and we will see if an obvious set falls out.
6.        Pick the program and ensure that we have a critical mass in each topic area. For this we will use an on-line voting tool. Everyone will rank each submission, and then we will go through each theme and find the best 10-15 talks for each one.
7.        Help promote the conference.
8.        Enjoy the conference!

The first order of business will be a kick-off meeting to get to know one another and to help identify next steps. We will use the Eclipse Foundation conference facility for this. 

 

We are hoping for the week of Sept 2. I've suggested Thursday or Friday (Sept 5 or 6) around 8:30am PDT, 11:30am EDT, 5:30pm CET. I've setup a doodle [1]. If this doesn't work well we can try and find another time.

Thanks again!

Hello all,

 

Ian B. has the program committee almost finalized, and our first call will be the week of September 2. Watch for more about scheduling that.

 

I have added everyone to this mailing list, and created an EclipseCon wiki account for the first-timers. If you are getting a new account, please look for an email with your account credentials. Let me know if you don't see that or have questions about the wiki.

 

For those of you with wiki accounts who have forgotten your credentials, your login ID is FirstnameLastname. You can deal with a forgotten password on the login page here: https://www.eclipsecon.org/conwiki/index.php?title=Special:Userlogin

 

The program committee wiki page is here: https://www.eclipsecon.org/wiki/2014_Program_Committee

 

There's a link there to the main wiki page if you want to go there for some reason.

 

FYI, the website will be up soon!
