<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 &quot;I like it&quot;.</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 &quot;plans and slideware&quot; 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 &quot;information debugger&quot; 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>
