Reminds me of fond memories of EclipseCon 2005, where the CDT evening
BOFs were the best part!

Thanks,

Photran 3.0 includes a "patched" CDT, where we have replaced C and C++ 
project types with generic Make project types and integrated an 
extension point into the Core for adding additional languages.  We would

really, really like to have these integrated into the "real" CDT so we 
don't have to make our own.

So I think our primary goal for the conference is to get our existing 
changes into the CDT.

Once we have agreed on that, though, there are lots of longer term 
things to consider, and the conference is the ideal place to discuss 
them.  We could continue this discussion in the evening if the 
conference slot is not enough time to cover everything.

We don't believe it is necessary to have separate project types for each

CDT language.  With our current strategy (generic Make Projects), there 
is no problem with having C/C++ and Fortran in the same project.  
They're not exceptionally well-integrated with each other, but they're 
both there.

Basically, it's more of a solution than a requirement.
