RE: [eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] Agenda for the e4 Summit

["Schaefer, Doug" <Doug.Schaefer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We have mixed feedback on the CDT summits. They've been great a helping
build our community but I think we have room to improve as far as making
them more effective.

I like the idea of breakout sessions to deep dive into specific areas.
We've been most effective when we've been able to get a group of people
together around a laptop and projector to dig through code.

I also think it's important to bring everyone back together again fairly
often. This feeds into the community building part and I'm sure there
are a few people that would be interested in multiple sessions and may
want to at least hear and participate in the summaries.

I think we've all learned a lot from these previous summits and it looks
like we'll have a lot of those people there to help out with this one.

BTW, thanks for getting this moving Boris! Let's keep the momentum
going.

Cheers,
Doug.

The wiki page for the e4 summit (http://wiki.eclipse.org/E4/Summit) does
not contain an agenda yet, but we should come up with one soon.

Obviously, the agenda should reflect the work areas that people sign up
for.  Other than that, I am pretty open.  I have heard good things about
the CDT, Equinox, and p2 summits that were held in the past.  Do we have
people who attended those summits on this list?  From what I understand,
the format was essentially breakout sessions to work on particular
topics, with occasional plenary sessions to collect and discuss results
from the breakout sessions.  What aspects of this format worked well,
and are there any lessons you learned about the format etc. that we
should know about to make the e4 summit as productive as possible?

We should also discuss what kinds of results the summit should produce.
What I would like to see is:

- a list of work areas, with title and short description (what is in
scope, what is out of scope)
- for each work area, who has signed up for working on them, and who is
coordinating the work
- for each work area, a rough plan with plan items that cover the first
year of development (until Summer 2009)

Does this make sense?

Thanks
Boris
