[eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] minutes and AIs from Friday, September 16th telecon

Minutes:

Keynote speaker confirmations in flight – targeting next Friday for responses from everyone:

If we receive any declines, we’ll re-evaluate options at the next meeting before accepting speaker-suggested substitutes.

Pre-keynote intro sessions (10-15 minutes) approved
Discussed advertising/logos for CFP (see AIs)
Discussed driving tutorial content through various communities
Discussed JavaLobby’s recording offer and alternatives (see AIs). This would address expense issue, but leaves open the logistical issue of presenters needing to transfer their s/w environment onto different machines.
AIs

Ian/Bjorn – Logo for CFP?
Ian – contact SourceForge re: advertising
MikeB – POC on NetMeeting or other application sharing technology as a recording vehicle; based on outcome we’ll re-evaluate JavaLobby’s recording offer
Sri – circulate email on “coaching” Borland and Oracle speakers
Tim – get email addresses of last year’s tutorial presenters (in flight; waiting for list) and invite them to re-submit updated talk abstracts this year
All sub-committees: work with your communities and contacts to drive tutorial submissions; we have only 7 submissions at the moment

Please send any additions or corrections to the distribution list.
