[eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Some topics for the committee


Sigh, sent this last night but it bounced...

  • Good Great job Bjorn, you rock!
I do have some questions/comments however.

I spent some time looking over the entire program and think we need to review it some more as a group.  For example, has the final company/presenter analysis been done?  There appear to be a number of folks who show up a lot.  This is ok if warranted but it would be a shame if it got through unexplained given the people we are turning away?  Would be good to get a sense of this before pressing the big button.

Related.  Every PC member should scan the entire (entire) list of talks for duplication and related talks.  This year there are a number of people aggressively proposing talks of different length and in different categories and perhaps slightly different content.  I found several just looking from my little part of the world so expect others have found or will find similar things.

Should we accept both 401 and 402.   A long and short (10 min) talk on OSGi Blueprint services, the same topic by the same presenter.  The abstract for the short even says that it is a teaser for the long talk.  Not sure we have time in the schedule for teasers.

Mylyn is cool but there appears to be some repeated (or very similar) content
    608 WikiText: Generate Eclipse Help from Eclipsepedia
    609 Markup-Enabling Your Application
    607 Mylyn Speaks Wiki
This presenter (David Green) appears to have submitted a very similar talk in three different categories.

Groovy is, well, groovy but is this
    290 Introduction to Groovy
an appropriate 1 hour talk for EclipseCon given all the other Eclipse content that is being declined?

There appears to duplication in the RAP UI testing talks in different categories.  One is in as a 30 min and one is 10 min.  We likely should not do both.
    559 Automated performance tests for RAP applications
    521 Automated UI Tests for RAP applications

There are a lot of talks from the MOTODEV guys in many different categories.  Someone with expertise in this area should review to see if there are duplicates etc.

Just a speaker comment:  https://www.eclipsecon.org/submissions/2009/view_talk.php?id=389 OSGi on Clouds. Hosting OSGi runtime in cloud computing environments.  Tatanya Staver gave a talk at the NYC Banking day and it was absolutely horrible.  I don't know Alexey but Tatanya is listed as second presenter here and if she ends up presenting I have little confidence in the talk being good. Coaching may be required.


Overall however, I am stunned by the amazing array and quality of talks.

Here's a alpha (or, in Eclipse parlance, an M1) of the EclipseCon 2009 schedule.
I'm happy to accept feedback in one of the following forms:
  • Good Great job Bjorn, you rock!
  • Pretty-good As PC member for category X, please reorder my category's talks A and B
  • Reasonable As PC member for category X, please schedule my newly accepted long/curated talk A into the blank spot at day Y, time Z.
  • Not-so-good As PC member for category X, I want you to exchange my talk A with somebody else's talk B. The PC member for talk B (category Y) agrees with this swap.
  • Bad Talks A and B on day X, time Y have the same speaker
I tried to keep categories sequential and definitely without horizontal conflicts. Other than that, oof, it's a hard task.
