Bjorn took the minutes on behalf of the vacationing Tim.
Attending: Doug, Sri, Lawrence, Paul, Maher, and perhaps one more
person whose name I forgot to write down.
Status of action items from the last meeting:
- Doug says it will take another couple weeks to track down a CIO.
He's going to work on Nortel as a good candidate.
- Sri has been talking to people but does not have any good leads
yet. He is considering IBM, Borland, Oracle, BEA, HP, and is open to
other suggestions.
- Bjorn provided an update on Eclipsezilla and some of its neat
features. The most interesting item seemed to be the fact that we can
update the website ourselves this year - Bjorn fired the company that
being the bottleneck and chose a different web contractor this year.
- Paul said that MikeB had not done his action item yet.
In new business:
- Maher asked the group if there was a theme to this year's
conference. In 2004 it was very developer focused and he wondered if
there was a different theme this year. Bjorn mumbled something, but
since he's writing these minutes, will clarify his mumble: Bjorn thinks
the theme should be "the whole community getting together to talk to
the whole community". In other words, it's about the three communities,
not just one.
- There was a discussion about whether a keynote about licensing
issues would be interesting. I think the consensus was that a panel
would be better.
- There was a discussion about how many slots we have and how to
allocate them. Bjorn explained that if we have five parallel rooms, we
have 55 slots not including keynotes. One slot can hold one long talk,
6 short talks, or one panel. There are 42 tutorial slots. The initial
slot distribution will be approximately 1/3 to each track, although it
will be adjusted based on the number of submissions, etc.
- Bjorn has sent three keynote e-introductions to Tim: Amazon.com,
Microsoft, and Motorola. When Tim gets back from vacation, he can do
something with them.
- There needs to be an eclipse.org front page announcement about
EclipseCon. Bjorn takes this action item.
- There needs to be an EclipseCon banner that sites can use on
their own sites. Bjorn takes this action item as well.
