FWIW, I totally agree.
- I also received a belated
request from the platform project (Kevin
Haaland): “I didn't see
any talks or tutorials from SWT and I think we need to find room in the
schedule for one.” I see #33 (http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33),
so we can discuss whether there are other candidates and whether to pursue
this request.
We told John that you
all had looked at the submissions and chosen a program. And that there were a
few slots for "late breaking things", but that none of the existing talks
qualified as interesting enough for those slots. And that if the
Platform team could come up with a compelling/interesting talk, something that
the audience wouldn't be able to find out from reading the Javadoc, help, or
articles, then that might be compelling enough for the PC to use one of
those slots.
I think we should be careful not to give any one group
special treatment, i.e., the Platform/SWT team had the same advance notice as
everyone else about submitting long talk proposals and they chose not to do
so. Thus for them to get a talk in now, they are going to need to demonstrate
something well above the bar - the same that any other arriving talk would
need to demonstrate.
