Re: [eclipsecon-na-program-committee] OSGi content is likely to be very small

Its more than that.  I think last year there were 19 or so OSGi devcon sessions.  EclipseCon used to get plenty of "free" marketing from the OSGi Alliance in promoting the OSGi dev con track, drumming up OSGi submissions and conference attendees.  For example, to the osgi members mailing lists and other avenues, such as promotion from the OSGi Alliance hired evangelists in their own blogs, tweets etc.

I think EclipseCon lost some of its credibility for being a conference for OSGi content when we drop the OSGi dev con.  I'm not sure how we get that back for the conference.

In the past OSGi dev con was a one room track for the entirety of the conference, right?
Is this just a branding issue?

    Without the OSGi devcon co-located with EclispeCon I doubt we are going to get much OSGi specific talks.  I have been trying to get a few folks to submit talks but they are not interested without the OSGi devcon being co-located with eclipse con.

    I know it is too late to go back on the decision not to co-locate with OSGI devcon but it is likely that we have turned many of these speakers away from the conference.  Not sure if that will result in turning many attendees away...
