| <p>Regarding EclipseCon talks: we have received three (3) proposals for our one |
| (1) panel slot and twenty-five (25) proposals for our six (6) long talk slots. |
| Some of criteria that we will apply in evaluating these proposals includes:</p> |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Avoid overlapping topics in our subset of the program; definitely not more |
| than one long talk per project/topic.</li> |
| <li>Avoid overlapping topics in the entire EclipseCon program.</li> |
| <li>Be specific in our comments about what we like and dislike in the |
| proposals - not just "I like it".</li> |
| <li>Public votes are not as interesting to us as public comments - voting is |
| not as transparent as comments.</li> |
| <li>EclipseCon attendees include both returning alumni (such as ourselves) and |
| new first-timers. The first-timers may want to learn about things that we |
| have already heard before, thus we should include a mix of basics (talks we, |
| personally, might not want to attend because we've heard it before but would |
| be interesting to newcomers) and cutting edge new issues (for the jaded |
| alumni).</li> |
| <li>If an Eclipse project is not very active (code, users, newsgroups, etc), |
| then it is less likely to draw an audience and thus is less deserving of one |
| of the limited long talk slots.</li> |
| <li>Eclipse projects that are more mature, i.e., have more working code to |
| show and talk about, are more deserving of a long talk slot. New projects or |
| projects that are more "plans and slideware" are mostly too early |
| to attract a long talk audience.</li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p><b>ACTION ITEM: </b>[All] Read, comment, and roughly order all the proposals |
| for next week's call.</p> |
| |
| <p>The ECESIS and Laszlo Archive Reviews are tomorrow. There has been no |
| response on the ECESIS lists and there have been two responses on the Lazlo |
| lists [<a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/laszlo-dev/msg00018.html">1</a>,<a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.technology.laszlo/msg00245.html">2</a>] |
| - both by people who are not project members. The email to the project leader |
| bounced and there has been no response by any of the project members.</p> |
| <p>Website school will be held again this week. The last one has spawned a |
| number of email conversations and some progress on updating the websites. Ward |
| observed that a "information debugger" would be useful to help people |
| fill out the XML file.</p> |
| <p>The Technology PMC unanimously approves the proposal to move PTP to the Tools |
| PMC.</p> |
| <p>The five new Technology projects were allocated to mentors (two new ones now, |
| plus potentially three new ones at tomorrow's review).</p> |
| |
| <p><b>ACTION ITEM: </b>[All] Contact your new mentored project and introduce |
| yourself.</p> |
