Sounds like you thinking of your idea of an extended hackathon during the confrrence. This might work if you get the correct parties together for a longer time.
For me personally EclipseCon is usually a very busy time, not sure if an extended hackathon will work for the other IDE developer. The stuff I have seems fine during hackathons are usually trivial fixes and cleanup work.

I disagree. This sounds like a complex problem with lots of moving
parts. I envision a "hackathon" goal of improving start up
performance in certain scenarios by some target.
I completely forgot to bring this up on the last call, but I'd like
to get the AC to recognize a regular "contributor of the month". I'm
thinking that we make this a regular part of every call to spend ten
minutes (maximum) nominating, discussing, and voting on great
contributions for the month. The winner gets highlighted in a blog
post (and maybe the newsletter), and gets a t-shirt. I'll have to
work on better prizes.
Having said that, I think that having another Great Fix competition
is a great idea and I'd like to have AC involvement in the decision
making process. I'll see if I can sort out some prizes that are
better than t-shirts. When do we do this and how is it structured?

Hi Wayne,
I think it is not a good candidate for a hackathon, IMHO a
community approach like "Greatfix" would work better here.

Is this a potential

together in the Hackathon at EclipseCon Europe?
Are there any existing bugs that we can use as "bugday"
targets for contributors at the Hackathon?

Hi,
In the last release we had the Great
bug initiative.
I think one great area for improvement
would be the reduction of the startup time in the
IDE.
Maybe the Eclipse foundation could make
a competition for improving it? Accepted
contributions could be ranked by improvement and
the largest improvements would win the price.
For the measurement we have in platform
a startup time test, which I think could be used
for the measurement. Dani, what do you think?
If we would do this, we should get the
buy-in from the involved projects. For platform
Dani would have to say yes, for p2 Pascal, etc.
