[ecf-dev] ECF call for participation - EclipseCon 2010

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

I wanted to let everyone in the ECF community know that the call for 
participation for EclipseCon 2010 is now open:

http://www.eclipse.org/org/press-release/20091104_eclipseconcfp.php

I encourage everyone in the ECF community to consider submitting a 
tutorial, talk, short talk or demo...to show the community what you are 
doing (with ECF and/or Eclipse/Equinox-based work), and to have a chance 
to interact with other committers and community members. 

If EclipseCon 2010 is like previous EclipseCons, the interaction with 
other Eclipse users, committers, and leaders will be a great experience.

Sadly, it looks like I (Scott) personally will not be able to go to 
EclipseCon this year.  I'm no longer with EclipseSource, and so unless 
something changes I would have to pay for travel and accomodations on my 
own 'dime', and that is not something I can afford.  Things could change 
in positive directions, but at this point unless they do my means don't 
allow my attendance.  This is profoundly sad for me, as more than 
presentations, announcements, etc., I will miss interacting with the 
people using/extending/improving ECF.

If asked, I *will* agree to participate in helping others create/submit 
proposals for their tutorials, talks, or etc...and will agree to be a 
co-author/co-presenter.   If things change for me then I would like to 
participate/help present, but if not then hopefully I can help the 
proposal and/or help prepare. 

In any case, again...please do consider submitting a tutorial or talk 
proposal for EclipseCon 2010...and help present/represent the great 
things being done by the ECF community.

Scott
