Maybe we should identify the more risky tutorials and focus on them. For instance my colleagues who are giving the Xtext tutorial have done more than one successful tutorial at previous EclipseCon. Although I'll definitely help them during preparation we can be sure it's going to be very good anyway. Also the EMF tutorial and the git tutorial have been successfully presented before. Other tutorials where PC members (i.e. Gunnar's) are already involved don't seem to need special attention, too.
What are the tutorials we are not so sure about?

Given the overwhelming response, I'd say no one?
I think we need to find a lower overhead solution. What I'd like to see is a mailing list set up so that we can nag the presenters. Remind them of the timeline we're expecting. Give us access to the materials so we can review as a group. Thoughts on that?

That's the question, how many PC members are willing to mentor 1 tutorial? That means reviewing their slides and making sure they stay on the (more or less) agreed to schedule?
Having done a tutorial in the past and shown up with way more content than the time could sustain, I would like others to avoid our mistakes. Then again, I felt we had good content and good installable units, but it was just too much for the time we were given. Especially given that the presenters and the audience were not all native English speakers, I would prefer to give small bites that taste good than a full belly that tastes bad.
