Re: [eclipsecon-na-program-committee] Draft EclipseCon 2013 Call for Pap

[Lars Vogel <lars.vogel@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ian,

a good explanation, thanks.

If I had to choice, I properly would have a (one) theme for a
conference with different tracks (categories). But don't get me wrong,
the text is absolutely ok this way and can be used; I just wanted to
share my observations.

Best regards, Lars
