Hey gang, I need to pick the
successful Long Talk submissions very soon now and, as always, I seek your
help. I’ll give this until Monday to give the gang in Europe time to respond. I have personally ranked the
talks as follows. Please let me know your opinion so that I can make the best
choice for the community.
Above the
line:
-
Assembling your open C and C++
workbench (3841 – Philippe Ombredanne). This looks like an excellent talk show
how the CDT fits into the bigger Eclipse ecosystem. Philippe is a well
respected champion of Eclipse and I’m actually a bit honored that he submitted
this.
-
C/C++ Source Code Introspection
Using the CDT (3903 – Chris Recoskie). We definitely have a few people
interested in using the CDT DOM for source code analysis and is something I
think we need to promote, especially with the huge investment we’ve made there
over the years.
Below the
line:
-
What’s New in CDT 4.0 Europa (3710
- Doug Schaefer). I think this would be best served as a demo instead of a
long talk. This was more the default in case we didn’t get any good
submissions, but we did.
-
CDT: easy to use and integrate
(3779 – Mikhail Voronin). This is a talk on the new project model. I’m not
sure if the general community would care as much as the committers do. I
definitely encourage this as a short talk, or as part of the CDT 4.0 demo if
you have something to show by then.
-
Improving your C++ development
experience with UML modeling (3854 – Sreerupa Sen, IBM). Of course I worked on
C++ modeling for a long time so this topic is dear to me. I just don’t get the
feedback from the community that UML modeling is something at the top of
people’s wish list at the moment, and unfortunately we only have two
spots.
Of course I don’t want to make the
decision myself, so please let me know what you think. I am open to
changes.
