Thanks Sebastian……
I like your ideas and added Scott Hanselmann to the list…..
I am wondering if any other PC member has time to post his
ideas toooo ???? :-) (I vaguely remember that there are 8
members ???)
Hi Christian,
see inline.

Hi Program Committee Members,
here is my first email about
ECE 2013.
The members of the PC are
named:
I am not sure that I spoke with everyone from
last year who should also be in this year. I
spoke to most of you whether you can also be in
PC 2013. (not sure about Simon and Jonas). So
hope you are all on board.
Last year (2012) went pretty well I think so
we are not changing too much. I wanted Sebastian
to be on the PC and since I don't more than one
person from one company I had to remove
Alexander although he did an excellent job.
Most of you knows the procedure and the tasks
that are necessary except Sebastian and its my
task to fill him in.
Thanks for the briefing, Christian.
The wiki page works for me.
The wiki page already contains a number of
"Considerations for 2013 (from 2012
experience)". The list was created by Anne.
Please post input that you have on the mailing
list rather than adding them to the list
yourself :-).
I encourage you to supply feedback to
anything on that list, anything in this email
and anything else you have in mind for ECE 2013.
A strong plus for timers in the room to make sure
that the sessions are finished in time.
Same for an official number of attendees per
session.
I could help to have barcodes at the doors that can
be scanned with a phone to count the number of
attendees. The conference app could send a reminder
that one shall provide feedback for the presenter.
Like timers, too.
I've not strong opinion about the point 'same
length for each talk', though I also think that we
don't need long talks. OTOH slots with 2 lightning
talks 15 mins each could be interesting.
I prefer shorter talks, so I do have an issue skipping extended
talks. I like the idea of lighting talks
Hackatons: I really like the format, but I've also
the impression that people attend the conference for
the socializing aspect. We'd have to make sure that
they don't eat up too much time. The number of
expected participants has to justify the efforts for
the preparations. Do we have any numbers from other
conferences that had this format?
I personally never find the time for sth. such as hackatrons, but I
like the idea
+1 too
I think the most important change is the
proposal that all talks have the same length. I
was always for extended talk slots but failed to
see an extended talk at ECE 2012 that really
justified that. What do you guys think ?
Having less time for a talk sometimes helps to stay
focused. 25 minutes works usually quite well.
I totally agree!
The time
schedule will be
pretty much the same as last year. So most of
the telcos would be typically happening in
August (monday). And we do one or two before
that heavy working time. I am NOT at EclipseCon
NA in Boston so we wont meet there.
I am starting now to look for keynote
speakers. Help appreciated. If you
know interesting people, then just add them in
the wiki and/or post them on the mailing list.
Having some keynotes that are not strictly Eclipse
focues would be cool, e.g. like the Mozilla keynote
that we had this year.
I also like the idea to have someone from Jetbrains
talking about competing with Eclipse, but I did not
see too many entertaining talks by Jetbrainers ...
Program focus
A feedback that I received from one of my
colleagues and that I discussed today with Ralph
is my impression that EclipseCon is very very
Eclipse based. We have very few talks that are
just for Java developers. We had Sebastian talk
about "Java Performance MythBusters" (as an
example and there are some other talks) but in
general we (the PC) always asked ourselves what
the link to Eclipse is.
I think it would be really great if we had a
Java category where people could talk about Java
stuff that is interesting to Eclipse Developers.
So we could have talks about Guava, Guice,
Guava, Akka, Heroko, Fork/Join, WebSockets,
Hadoop, JavaEE, NoSql, Scala etc. (we also need
to find people to propose such talks) I know we
had Dalibor Topic talking about Java itself but
I am think more about Java Open Source
frameworks. Its probably also important what
kind of things we like and what we don't like
for such a Java category (before we open the
flood gate :-) ). I am not so much of a fan in
getting another 20 "how to write an Android
thingy" talk proposals.
Still it should relevant to Eclipse
developers but the code that you talk about does
not need to be at eclipse.org. (I
am not saying that this was true in the past,
but in our program 95 % of the technical talks
use OSGi as a kernel, I don't think that this
has to stay that way)
I am sure this idea needs a little more
thinking. But broadening to scope I think would
make EclipseCon more attractive. I hope everyone
could supply some feedback.
Note: Ralph called that "we lost the java
community" which I think describes the
phenomena very well.
Obviously +1 - Java is actually sort of a common
denominator of all attendees such as this topic has
the potential to fill sort of a gap. And Java8 is
around the corner, too.
JavaFX is an emerging tech, too. Since e4 allows to
plug other (more trendy) widget toolkits, having more
content about JavaFX would be great.
Did you talk with the EclipseCon NA about that? I
think it's important for that one, too, to have a wide
range of content rather some so-so talks about strict
Eclipse stuff.
I like Java topics. Additionally, maybe we can encourage more talks
about development tooling within the IDE. I think maybe 90% of the
people only know the IDE, but use it every single day.
Cheers,
Sebastian
HTML5
Inspired by Chris Heilmann's keynote I
realized that HTML5 is really underrepresented
at EclipseCons (and maybe Eclipse in general).
So I personally would think it might be
interesting to do something with Mozilla at ECE
2013. My spontaneous idea is to bring Chris in
and have him do a tutorial (where he bring 200
FireOS smartphones) and we all try to create
something interesting. But maybe thats just me.
Again I am interested to get feedback.
Didn't the keynote mention, that HTML 5 is dead? :-)
Regards
Jonas
Looking forward to your emails and feedback
what you think about my ideas. (which of them
are crazy and which are good, what are your
ideas ?)
