[eclipsecon-na-program-committee] Modeling/DSL talks

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Cedric and Sven. I encourage all
PC members to take a look through these and adjust your votes. If you are
not a modeling person, you have to put yourself in the perspective of an
EclipseCon attendee. We know from conference survey results that there
is significant attendee interest in these modeling technologies. We are
lucky to have to two experts from this community to help us pick a strong
program for these attendees.  In the end I will just start adding
some from this list but I still want everyone's input. One source of information
is that many of these speakers and even some talks were given at ECE and
there is conference feedback here:

Sven and I had a call to go through the list of modeling/DSL
talks to list those we'll really want to see which are not in yet:

http://www.eclipsecon.org/2013/sessions/collaborative-modeling-applied-avionic-design-give-wings-your-team
An experience report about large scale deployement by a big industrial
player. It tackles teamworking on models using Eclipse technologies which
is a hot topic in our community. Speakers are good. We really need this
one.

http://www.eclipsecon.org/2013/sessions/emf-community-time-moving-eclipse4-thanks-extended-editing-framework-20
A heads up on the 2.0 version of a project which has a strong adoption.
It's moving to pure osgi, JavaFX and opens the perspective of modeling
tools on Orion which I think is a great way to move our community forward.
Speaker is good and quite funny in general. 

http://www.eclipsecon.org/2013/sessions/emfedit-force-unleashed
It explains an area of EMF which is not well known yet essential (EMF.Edit)
on top of a hot technology : JavaFX. It targets both the modeling and the
RCP crowd. Perfect for newcomers to the conference.

http://www.eclipsecon.org/2013/sessions/building-tool-based-emf
It was presented at ECE, it was well attended and had good feedback. Speakers
are good too.

http://www.eclipsecon.org/2013/sessions/xtended-javafx
A combo of two great speakers, something the audience can use right away
in their rich app and a nice showcase for xtend. We've seen a lot of interest
in Xtend (3 hours tutorial was full) and in JavaFX at ECE, the audience
is looking forward to these technologies

http://www.eclipsecon.org/2013/sessions/giant-butterfly-effects-software-factories
Automation of generation/build/deployement integrating many different technologies.
A project wich had pretty much no slots at Eclipse conferences AFAIK. To
be honest we are not 100% sure on this one as it looks a bit too much ambitious.

Yes I completely agree. We have those
two spare already, but I think we should go even further on modeling. I
think the best next step is for you and Cedric to bring forward a list
of recommendations for us to look at, perhaps with more context around
who the speaker is, how much traction the project has, etc. From a complete
non-expert perspective, here are a few that I gave a high rating to. I
know very little about the projects or speakers, but they sounded like
interesting topics from an outsider perspective, FWIW:

Please keep in mind that we are still short on accepted talks in the modeling/dsl
track. 
We currently have 12 out of 20 planned ones. We definitely need to have
a couple more accepted [1]. 
Unfortunately Cedric seems to be offline today. I want to look with him
through the submissions as soon as he's available. 
We can hopefully work out something concrete tomorrow. 

That said it's good to see the "griffon" and the "custom
modeling env"-talks are in now, but we need to make some additional
room for modeling :-(

After eliminating some duplicate talks yesterday, we had 64 "in"
talks, leaving room for four more. We discussed several of the proposals
and there have been a few with significant changes in their votes. Based
on this I have done the following: 

Added the following three talks that are now solidly in the "top 68"
by vote: 

http://www.eclipsecon.org/2013/sessions/tale-2-platforms-eclipse4-and-griffon
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2013/sessions/your-custom-modeling-environment-definition-made-easy-last
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2013/sessions/experiences-porting-suite-massive-swing-apps-eclipse-4

Removed the following talk which has now dropped to nearly 90th place:

http://www.eclipsecon.org/2013/sessions/visualizing-community-eclipse-social-code-graph-revealed

Those were the only big moves that I could see. There were a few minor
changes around the 68 talk margin but I didn't adjust "in" tags
on these for now. We have two spots left that I would really like to see
allocated to Modeling. We still have room for changes in all categories,
so if you would like to present arguments for or against any particular
talk, please speak up on this mailing list or in Thursday's call. Often
different PC members will have insights into a particular talk, subject
area, or speaker that will help the rest of us make better decisions on
our votes, so please don't hesitate to speak up. This is *your* program!

FYI I have updated my "scorecard" spreadsheet with the latest
info. This doesn't need to control what changes we make, but the data help
to give a high level picture of the program from various angles.
