RE: [dsdp-pmc] EclipseCon 2007 - Long Talks

I agree on needing to have a Long Talk cover more technical details.  I was assuming that by March, Christian will have his emulator framework in place enough to at least describe the features and proposed API’s.  I believe it’s important to sell up-and-coming technology, and Linux in the mobile space is a very hot topic right now.  My 2 cents.

 

Anyone else have any comments?  Please email your thoughts _prior_ to our PMC meeting this week so we can have a productive discussion on the call.

I'm wondering whether the TmL project is yet mature enough for a long talk.

IMHO, participants of a long talk will expect some technical information on

what the project is doing and how it can be leveraged right away - they want

to know what's already there and how they can use it.

 

I just read http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3738 and

it appears to be more of a "what are we going to do" talk, with a big focus

on gathering community.

 

No offence meant, but it would appear to me that a BoF session were more

appropriate for this, plus a short talk for those things that already exist

(e.g. simulation environment).

 

When I did the TM talk last year, it was also questioned whether the project

were mature enough for a long talk already. At that point, we already had

a first milestone of the RSE code out, and we could talk about existing

APIs, and we could demo the running RSE. We had about 50 participants

in the talk, quite a few of them saying "well, interesting", or "thanks for this

great technology". However, over the year, not a lot participation came from

those folks and the direction we took was the result of the face-to-face

meetings we had earlier plus our internal discussions.

 

This experience also leads me to thinking that the technology being

presented in a long talk should already be existing.

 

Christian's other talk, http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3795 ,

sounds very interesting though it is more about MTJ than TmL. It sounds

very practical such that participants will take some first-hand experience

and knowldedge with them that they can leverage right away. Perhaps this

talk would make an excellent Demo, since it addresses USERS of the

MTJ and EclipseME projects rather than people developing against the

APIs? - I think I'd love to follow Christian follow a sample session with these

tools as part of a Demo.

Cheers,

Hi PMC,

 

Despite the fact we postponed tomorrow’s meeting, I’m sending you an update on Long Talk submissions for the Embedded/Mobile track.   We have twice as many submissions as we have slots for.  This is where it gets difficult.  Please keep in mind that we’ve accepted Tutorials covering eRCP, MTJ, and TM already as we begin this discussion.  My original spreadsheet looked like this, but obviously we are free to deviate:

Also keep in mind that our goal is to create as diverse a program as possible in the Mobile / Embedded / Device Software space.

 

I’ve broken down the submissions into the following categories:

 

DSDP project talks

3688 – Gorkem/Mark – “eRCP - Ready for prime time!”

3738 – Christian – “Tools for Mobile Linux Project: Extending Eclipse into Linux Mobile Devices”

3755 – Shigeki – “C++ GUI Builder for Mobile or Embedded devices”

3781 – Martin – “Target Management: Embedded to Enterprise”

3795 – Christian – “Eclipse as foundation for J2ME development tools”

 

User talks

3602 – Jeff Ricker – “Service Oriented Device Architecture (SODA)” – Some connection to eRCP

3814 – Brett Hackleman – “Remote Management of Mobile Embedded Platforms “

3780 – Anthony Berent – “Creating an IP-XACT editor to support the use of IP-XACT for Embedded Debug” – Some connection to DD / TM

 

Potential business track talks

3770 – Robert Day – “Bringing embedded and enterprise development closer using Eclipse”

3813 – Dino Brusco – “Enabling Seamless Mobility with Eclipse”

 

I am hopeful we can get at least one of the business-related talks into the business track, but I’m waiting to hear from Donald about that.  That leaves 8 talks and 5 slots.  My preference is below.  2 long talks by project leads not covered by Tutorials, 3 user-related talked – with 2 of them loosely tying back to DSDP projects.  I want to find out more about the SODA talk though, as it spans several technical areas.  It might belong in another track.

 

3738 – Christian – “Tools for Mobile Linux Project: Extending Eclipse into Linux Mobile Devices”

3755 – Shigeki – “C++ GUI Builder for Mobile or Embedded devices”

3602 – Jeff Ricker – “Service Oriented Device Architecture (SODA)” – Some connection to eRCP

3814 – Brett Hackleman – “Remote Management of Mobile Embedded Platforms “

3780 – Anthony Berent – “Creating an IP-XACT editor to support the use of IP-XACT for Embedded Debug” – Some connection to DD / TM

 

Let the discussion begin….
