Re: [eclipsecon-na-program-committee] Conference name and feedback data

Sorry, I missed the call, had an other conference conflict, as I thought the call was moved to Thursday.

Anyway, I agree with John.  Need to keep the program balanced.  I personally like more tutorials, but I know that isn't everybody's thing.  And after having set through a bunch of 45 to 50 minute sessions this week, I an even more appreciative of the 20 - 25 minute format we've done the last couple of years.

I have two quick questions that I didn't have a chance to bring up on the call. I'll throw them out here because I'm sure they can easily be handled offline.

1. What is the name of the conference? I am finding there is some confusion now when you say "EclipseCon", since there are now two EclipseCon's per year. Should we be consistently trying to bill it as EclipseCon North America, EclipseCon America, or simply EclipseCon 2012? Being consistent on the name might help clear up confusion for people.

2. Any feedback data the PC can get on the talks from past conferences would be a huge help for us. I'm sure we're all tempted to select talks that "we" want to hear, but not everyone is an elite Eclipse insider. We all need to get an understanding of what the bulk of attendees want to hear about, so we can choose talks accordingly. So if you can share information from past EC's on talk votes, what talks were full, what the general feedback forms said, that would be very helpful.

Thanks,
John
