| Jesse, 
 I guess that is the question and I would be very interested in the
    community feedback on that.
 
 Not sure how the panel would go to address the issue and get us
    feedback.

 ok, given this some time floating around my inbox

 After rewriting the 'However' section in the original mail a
        handful of times I simply come back to Glyn's one liner which
        the entire thing could be on. 
 
        Is there a missing integration component in the Eclipse
          Runtime component stack? 
 We have kicked this concept around for quite some time so
          it would be good to finally put it up to the community by
          posing that simple question because it distills the essence of
          the discussion.  Perhaps another way to as the same question: 
 Is the Eclipse Runtime Project failing the community by not
          providing a expected completely integrated stack of software
          for building applications on, or is it just an useful
          organizational construct for projects that would otherwise
          have no home under existing Eclipse structure? 
 Answer that and we can finally put that class of issue to
          bed once and for all :)

                I imagine we would want to
                    leave time for questions from the audience.  I think
                    the abstract looks good.  Adding Glyn's question
                    "What components is RT missing?" and "What do RT
                    consumers want, the flexibility of do it yourself
                    stacks, or the ease of use that integrated runtime
                    stacks offer?" would be good.
 (I'm sorry to admit I had to
                    look up DIY before I knew what Glyn was suggesting)
                    :)
 
 I'm not sure about a symposium
                    + panel.  Seems like it would be rush to do both.

                    Hi Ian
                    
                    Looks good. Will there
                      be an opportunity for the audience to ask the
                      panel questions or answer the questions you pose
                      below? I think that would add some interest.
                    
                    Another somewhat
                      controversial topic would be to debate the ease of
                      use of integrated runtimes versus the flexibility
                      of DIY stacks built from RT components.
                    
                    Another question to add
                      to your list would be "What components is RT
                      missing?".

                      Hi everyone, _______________________________________________
 I've been racking my
                        brain trying to put together ideas for a panel
                        on EclipseRT.  I certainly don't want to make it
                        sound negative (because we are doing some really
                        cool things), but I do think it should be
                        somewhat controversial.  Here is a really rough
                        outline.
 
 Another option
                        (instead of a panel) would be do have a
                        symposium. With this approach, we would find
                        people to give talks about what they've done
                        with RT.  We could end the symposium with a
                        panel.

 Since the creation of the
                        Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) and the
                        adoption of Equinox and OSGi in 2004, interest
                        in and use of Eclipse technologies in runtime
                        scenarios has been steadily increasing.  The
                        EclipseRT project was designed to foster,
                        promote and house these runtime efforts.
 
 By a variety of measures EclipseRT has been a
                        resounding success. EclipseRT projects are the
                        backbone of many organizations, powering the
                        world's leading web containers such as
                        Websphere, large infrastructure projects such as
                        Google App Engine and Yahoo’s Hadoop Cluster and
                        even underlying the day to day activities of the
                        astronauts on the International Space Station.
 
 However, even with all the success, EclipseRT
                        still suffers from an identity crisis.  What
                        classifies a project as ‘RT’?  What common
                        themes do all RT projects have? How can RT
                        projects be more useful to the consumers? What
                        do you expect from RT?
 
 In this panel, EclipseRT committers will talk
                        about what can be done to improve the state of
                        Eclipse Runtime Technologies and better serve
                        the Eclipse community.

 Cheers,
 Ian
