Re: [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Business Track and User T

[Lawrence Mandel <lmandel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Bjorn,

I currently see two tutorial abstracts
that have been submitted for the user track.

1. Java Web Application Development
with Eclipse WTP 
2. Developing Business Rule Applications
using Eclipse 

There are two other tutorials, currently
submitted for the developer track, that sound like they will be more appropriate
in the user track.
1. Mylar (working title) 
2. EJB 3.0 Persistence using the Reference
Implementation an... 

I've added comments to these tutorials
asking the submitters whether their tutorials are really user tutorials.

You're right about nothing yet being
submitted for the business track. Here are some ideas taken from OOPSLA
(which concluded today) to get the ball rolling:
1. The Six Million Dollar Customer -
http://www.oopsla.org/2005/ShowEvent.do?id=120
Focusing on the value of customer involvement
in the development of your organization's applications
2. Teaching Java: An Eventful Approach
- http://www.oopsla.org/2005/ShowEvent.do?id=131
This may be more appropriate for the
user track but I think education fits in the business track as well.
3. Creating and Protecting Software
Intellectual Property Rights - http://www.oopsla.org/2005/ShowEvent.do?id=139
IP is always a concern when developing
software regardless of whether you are in industry or part of academia.

Subject	[eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Business Track and User        Track tutorials?

Michael, Maher, Mike, Simon, Ed, Paul,
There are 21 tutorial submissions and only one of those is User
Track and zero of them is
Business Track. At this rate, we're not going to have a user track or a
business track.  At this rate, we're going to have an EclipseCon that
is just about developers again. That would be fun for the committers, but
not what we are trying to do with EclipseCon - we are trying to have a
conference for the whole community.

And only 16 of 75 submissions overall are User or Business track - only
1/5th of the submission are in those two tracks and 4/5ths are the Developer
Track.  Is that what we want?  

We really need you guys to be out there recruiting content. Actively
recruiting.
