[eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] e4 Migration Talk

[Jonas Helming <jhelming@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Everybody,

as it has been discussed probably two e4 migration talks are merged into 
one slot. I am the speaker of the remaining one, as the slot will most 
likely collide with the modeling symposium.
Even if I would love to give the talk, I could live with an alternative 
to reduce the overlap.
As the EMF tutorial got rejected, I think a basic EMF talk is missing on 
the conference. I have done such a talk on the Democamp Munich and got 
good feedback.
So what I would be interested in your feedback for the abstract below.
If this talk is accepted, I will with-draw the e4 migration talk.
Please tell me your opinion on this.

Regards
Jonas

Getting married (with) EMF

If you do not use EMF or know what it is, please keep reading; this talk 
is targeted at you.
EMF (Eclipse Modeling Framework) is a framework used to generate 
entities (aka Java Beans) from a simple model. Over the years, EMF has 
become a runtime technology for all kinds of purposes and is, since the 
release of Eclipse 4, even part of the core platform.
However, the world of Eclipse developers is still split in two groups. 
One group uses EMF and loves it, and the other group has never used it 
before.
This talk is meant for the second group, so if you have no idea what EMF 
is or if you don’t know why you should use it, this is the place to be 
for you. We want to demonstrate to you the benefits of using EMF for 
your next application.
Because slides are not to be trusted, we will show a consistent live 
demonstration building a new application based on EMF from scratch. To 
spice it up a little, the example model we create covers a crucial, 
complex, fluctuating, touchy and controversial topic from real life: the 
seating arrangement at a wedding.
During the session, we will demonstrate a number of benefits of using 
EMF Core such as the reflective API, generated UI support and 
validation. Additionally, we will demonstrate EMF-based frameworks, 
which provide a wide feature set including Graphiti, EMF Client Platform 
and CDO.
