_javascript_:
Don't Believe the Type! - based on the
long_talk tags
An
Introduction to Docker – Invited speaker and
Docker is a new topic for the attendees.
Wednesday
Modeling
Symposium – They
requested the extra time and it is typically popular
JDT
embraces lambda expressions – We agreed to give
them a long slot instead of two talks.
Go
Reactive: Event-Driven, Scalable, Resilient &
Responsive Systems – Invited speaker and Jonas
will be a popular speaker
We
need to be careful about scheduling too many popular talks
at the same time.

I think this is because there were multiple
submissions for each topic and we only accepted one. Ian B.
mentioned previously that those are candidates for long slots.
However, I think the four listed below aren’t good candidates
for long talks. I would pick talks that are exceptional
interesting.
Another side node, I thought the Modeling
Symposium was already set. Thus, reducing the slots to 9. Am
I wrong on this one?
FWIW, browsing through at the accepted
sessions, sorted by avg. rating, here are some picks:
- _javascript_: Don't Believe the Type!
- An Introduction to Docker
I know it does sound really self-fish ….
but I’d like to offer this one too:
- Unshackling Mylyn from the desktop
Fwiw,
I am doing the schedule today so I need any
recommendations today. We actually have only 10
slots for long talks since M2M and Vert.x will
each get one.
There
are four talks with the long_talk tag that I was a
bit surprised:
These
didn’t pop out to me as being a long talk so I am
interested in understanding why they were tagged?
FWIW, two of the talks are from Foundation
employees and I usually try not to have Foundation
employees taking the prime spots.
The regular speaking slot at
EclipseCon is 35 minutes. However, we have 12 'long
slots'. These are actually 1 hour slots, although I
would expect people to talk for 45 minutes and leave
10 minutes for questions.
I've been going through the
program and identifying speakers that could make
good use of the extra time. Good candidates
include interesting subjects, or speakers who
submitted several talks on the same subject, but
we only accepted one. Since we have 6 long talks
each day -- and they happen in parallel -- we
should need to ensure that they span different
tracks and are not all given by 'rockstar
speakers' (I really didn't want to use that term).
Go through the program and let
me know if you see any talks that should be
'long'.
Finally, the crew from Docker
has promised me an abstract tomorrow. The docker
talk will be given by Nick Stinemates.
