| <td><a href="http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3721">Dynamic Languages Toolkit</a></td> |
| <td>Everyone was positive about this talk, even though the project is very |
| new to Eclipse. Some concern about the speakers' abilities.</td> |

| <td><a href="http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3758">EOS - Eclipse on Swing</a></td> |
| <td>Interesting technology, sure to generate audience interest and |
| discussion. Some concern that it wasn't an Eclipse project, but nothing |
| in the rules said that it has to be.</td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td><a href="http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3699">3699</a></td> |
| <td><a href="http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3699">Unifying Eclipse Collaboration with Corona</a></td> |
| <td>Interesting project with working code, interesting ideas.</td> |
| </tr> |

| <td><a href="http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3690">3690</a></td> |
| <td><a href="http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3690">Prototyping, Automating, Exploring - Interactively Scripting Eclipse</a></td> |
| <td>Scripting continues to be a hot topic among users and thus among |
| EclipseCon attendees. Must make sure that this is not an introductory |
| talk because EclipseCon attendees prefer fast-paced cutting-edge |
| material - they already know the basics.</td> |

| <td><a href="http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3777">Parallel Tools Platform: Now and Future</a></td> |
| <td>Good project, solving hard problems, and very relevant - everyone is |
| going to be coding with 128-way desktops in just a few years.</td> |

| <td><a href="http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3833">RAP</a></td> |
| <td>Interesting technology, but not sure that it would be quite the |
| audience draw that the talks above the line would be.</td> |

| <td> <a href="http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3744"> CompositeTable - Visual tabular data for SWT UIs</a></td> |
| <td>Again, interesting technology, but we were not able to convince |
| ourselves that one widget is worth an hour of talking. Or that it would |
| attract much an audience to that hour.</td> |

| <td><a href="http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3778">3778</a></td> |
| <td> <a href="http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3778"> Eclipse Open Healthcare Framework Embracing the Server Side</a></td> |
| <td>OHF is solving hard problems around data security and |
| inter-operability, but we felt that a talk about a framework about |
| health care just wasn't going to attract a large audience.</td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td><a href="http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3852">3852</a></td> |
| <td> <a href="http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3852"> Build & Release Management using Buckminster</a></td> |
| <td>Similarly, build and configuration management is an essential |
| technology - nobody can do modern software development without it - but |
| we couldn't imagine a significantly-sized audience wanting to hear about |
| it for an hour.</td> |
| </tr> |

| <td> <a href="http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3769"> The Eclipse Communication Framework: Let's Talk</a></td> |
| <td>ECF is interesting but again it's a plumbing framework and unlikely to |
| attract the kind of attendee/audience that the six top choices will. We |
| also considered that ECF does not have compelling new features for this |
| year that would attract an audience. </td> |
