| [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] FW: abstract needed for your EclipseCon '06 keynote |
|
FYI From: Joel Spolsky
[mailto: Hi Tim! Here’s a possible abstract: Too many teams create very decent products
that, nonetheless, fail to rise above the crowd and truly capture the popular
imagination. They are surprised when their superior products are mostly ignored
by the marketplace, which seems to be captivated by some other shiny geegaw
that’s functionally inferior and more expensive. In many product
categories, from software to consumer electronics, the product with the most
market share is often more expensive and less functional than the number two
product. I’ll explore why this happens and suggest some ways to design a
“blue chip” product that people love. All the best, Joel -- Joel Spolsky CEO and Founder Fog Creek Software, Inc. +1 866-364-2733 http://www.fogcreek.com From: Tim Wagner
