I agree with Eike that the Modeling Symposium is valuable for the Modeling community. It is a good opportunity for a number of people to talk, similar to lightening talks. It is something we might want to consider for other tracks.

The only one I left was the Modeling Symposium [1], which is a different beast all together. Essentially we need to decide if we want to have a modeling symposium. They are going to want either two slots (or at least a long talk slot). [1] https://www.eclipsecon.org/na2015/session/modeling-symposium Ian S (and those of you in the modeling community), are the symposiums still well attended? Do you get the sense that this is something the community still wants? Do they usually attract new attendees, or are the presenters those people who will be attending EclipseCon anyways?
From my experience these modeling symposiums are always very well attended. They're nice, because you get a broad overview of many interesting technologies without spending a whole slot for each one. IIRC. the "sub slots" ranged from 6 minutes to 10 minutes each, which nicely forces the presenters to come to their point quickly.
I'm all for assigning two standard slots or a longer slot or so. It will be well appreciated by the modeling-affine attendees ;-)

Thanks, Ian, for bringing this up.

Sorry for not being explicit about this upfront.
Please do not vote for your own talks.
If necessary, we can always discuss PC member talks in our calls.
We can and will discuss individual talks in our calls anyway - and that should work just fine for PC member talks as well.
In addition to that, please be careful when voting for talks from other members of your company. I will not vote for those talks, but that is not a strict rule. If you feel comfortable voting for those talks, that is totally fine with me.
Cheers,
-Martin
