Re: [cdt-dev] Summit 2011

It's good to have one big room but also another smaller one to do // sessions, sometimes people from builds are not interested in multi-core debug, we also have linux tools people who sometimes want to talk about Oprofile or LTTng. E.g. the GDB tracepoint are now integrated with other traces in the Linux project.

Doug is the chair this year so the talks should be useful for the CDT people :-)
Besides, EclipseCon without a CODAN talk won't be as good.
