Hi,
obviously John has too much time on his hands ;-)
I like the idea (even though I’m no longer qualified to participate). To get something done (i.e. have enough time) we should schedule it in parallel to the tutorials. We might even think about using Friday after the conference to plan a second (half) day if there is enough interest (maybe wait for feedback from the first round).

Subject: [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Hackethon at ECE 2013
I received a letter (yes another letter) from John Arthorne today say that the 4 people from the Eclipse JDT team (including himself) like to come to the ECE and prepare a hackethon. I think its a terrific idea. Any thought again are welcome.
He probably appreciates if someone likes to get involved. Here is his email
Has there been any discussion of having a Hackathon at EclipseCon Europe this year? It looks like we (IBM) will be sending about 4 people from Platform/JDT who can participate. I expect others like Lars Vogel and Tom Schindl would be interested in helping too. My experience from the attempt in Boston is that having it a day or two before the conference starts was not very successful. Maybe an evening event during the main conference (like BoFs) would work better? Also announcing it well in advance so people can plan on attending helps.
John
