I've met with a few small groups, and accepted a few more talks (>=3.7) in RCP and Java. This comes to 80 selected talks [1]. I've also heard back from Docker, and they are going to present. Finally, I marked 17 'on-the-fence' talks that I think are close, and we should consider [2].
80 + 1 + 17 == 98 (our magic number).
Unfortunately it's not that easy :(. I've received the CDT talk from PayPall (I'll send out the abstract). Also, there are a few projects that are not represented.
- Birt (We have a tutorial though)
- Jubula (Alex is giving another talk, and we have a tutorial)
- CBI (We have a talk on HIPP, but not CBI itself)
- Scout
- Gyrex
- Scala
So, here is what I need you to do:
- Go through the 'accept' [1] talks and see if there are any you completely disagree with. I imagine 'JDT Tips and Tricks' might be a bit controversial, however it is being given by a pretty talented female committer on the JDT. I think giving the chance for some core JDT committers to present about advanced tips and tricks in the JDT is "a good thing".
- Go through the other talks and let me know if anything else should be considered (anything not marked as 'on-the-fence'). This can include projects that are listed above (for example, which scala talk should be on-the-fence). I don't think we need one from each project, but let's make sure we consider this.
Cheers,
Ian
