[eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Stream-of-consciousness feedback from EclipseCon 2010

These are a mixture of my impressions and items of feedback that were
given/solicited.

+1 :
* tutorials every morning
* the mars rover buzz
* the keynotes
* the booths in the middle of the crowd
* shorter talks
* lotsa bofs
* Don's humour and MC skills
* mugs rather than cups for coffee
* ice cream
* exercise organization
* more people in sessions
* wireless working
* panels
* some really good talks

-1:
* code on slides not visible in rooms
* viewability of projection screens bad from certain angles
* not enough demos in some talks
* not enough non-demos in some talks (huh)
* inconsistent tutorial experiences
* some rotten talks (I have names if necessary :)
* not enough people stopping at booth

By definition you don't get a +0 from anyone with an opinion :)

On the -1 part, we could address viewability of slides
by adding TV feeds further down the room, nearer the
back, at an extra cost I am sure. The tutorial experience
inconsistency is something we should definitely attempt to
fix (IMHO), probably with some supervisory assignments
from the PC and a timeline for materials production, and
a checklist of what you as a tutorial presenter needs to
do to be ready.

I know Don has had feedback too - it would be great  to
collate all this for the next victim^h^h^h^h^h^h chair's
reference.

And thanks a bunch for everything guys, it was fun!
