Performance work is always challenging and most of it is necessarily
focused on measurements. I can't imagine significant performance
improvements resulting from anything other than a primary focus on
measurements. A hackathon doesn't seem the place for doing such
work.

Hi Wayne,
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.
Best regards, Lars

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

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.
