I should also mention that I listed 204 because
it was explained to me (too late to do anything about it before) that this had
actually been a “high priority” entry on the RCP theme list we
reviewed, but we didn’t know that at the time and passed over it in our
selections.
I’ve gotten several other “why
didn’t you include XXX”, but mostly these were from the submitters.
PHP was another notable omission, but the EMO used one of their slots to
include that. Otherwise, I haven’t heard shock or surprise expressed
about any holes in our current program.
I also searched for a more direct “replacement”
talk on EMF experiences, but didn’t find any; if I missed something, that
would be another obvious option for a substitute.

Of the list below, I like 204 the
best. But, it doesn’t seem fair to favor that instead of 40, which
made our final short list.
We could agree to revote on the list
below.

[eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] EclipseCon ProgramCommittee Action
Required: need another long talk
Importance: High
Program Committee Members,
The submitters of long talk #162, “Using EMF to
Develop a Developer-friendly Framework” have withdrawn their talk due to
professional obligations that will require them to be outside the US
during the conference.
As such, we need another submission to fill this slot
(currently Wednesday, March 22nd at 2:15).
Some options:
http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40
40: Probing Java Application Behavior with
Probekit (TPTP).
was our runner up in the last round of
voting, with 4 PC votes.
http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=204
204: Go Wild with RCP: Anatomy of an RCP-based Smart Client
Application
was another RCP talk that we declined with some regret,
since Nick is the RCP UI lead and would be a great person to have present on
RCP.
Excluding certain “irregular” votes, the top
community votes in our declined stack are
http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=283
283: Developing RCP applications; an experience report (17
community votes)
40: See above. (11 community votes)
http://canuck.gda.itesm.mx/eclipsezilla/show_bug.cgi?id=75
75: Building Code Analysis Tools using the CDT DOM (9
community votes)
I’d like to close on a replacement ASAP since we need
to let someone know that they’re on the hook to deliver a long talk with
only a few weeks left before the deadline. If you’d like to nominate
additional submissions, please respond to the mailing list on Monday; I’d
like to then do a vote by email on Tuesday.
Finally, a reminder that we have a call this Friday,
10am-noon PST, to close on short talks. Please be reviewing/categorizing the
short talks between now and then.
Thanks,
