Re: [rt-pmc] EclipseCon Pannel

I imagine we would want to leave time for questions from the audience.  I think the abstract looks good.  Adding Glyn's question "What components is RT missing?" and "What do RT consumers want, the flexibility of do it yourself stacks, or the ease of use that integrated runtime stacks offer?" would be good.

(I'm sorry to admit I had to look up DIY before I knew what Glyn was suggesting) :)

I'm not sure about a symposium + panel.  Seems like it would be rush to do both.

Hi Ian

Looks good. Will there be an opportunity for the audience to ask the panel questions or answer the questions you pose below? I think that would add some interest.

Another somewhat controversial topic would be to debate the ease of use of integrated runtimes versus the flexibility of DIY stacks built from RT components.

Another question to add to your list would be "What components is RT missing?".

Regards,
Glyn

Hi everyone,

I've been racking my brain trying to put together ideas for a panel on EclipseRT.  I certainly don't want to make it sound negative (because we are doing some really cool things), but I do think it should be somewhat controversial.  Here is a really rough outline.  

Another option (instead of a panel) would be do have a symposium. With this approach, we would find people to give talks about what they've done with RT.  We could end the symposium with a panel.

<snip>
Since the creation of the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) and the adoption of Equinox and OSGi in 2004, interest in and use of Eclipse technologies in runtime scenarios has been steadily increasing.  The EclipseRT project was designed to foster, promote and house these runtime efforts.

By a variety of measures EclipseRT has been a resounding success. EclipseRT projects are the backbone of many organizations, powering the world's leading web containers such as Websphere, large infrastructure projects such as Google App Engine and Yahoo’s Hadoop Cluster and even underlying the day to day activities of the astronauts on the International Space Station.  

However, even with all the success, EclipseRT still suffers from an identity crisis.  What classifies a project as ‘RT’?  What common themes do all RT projects have? How can RT projects be more useful to the consumers? What do you expect from RT?

In this panel, EclipseRT committers will talk about what can be done to improve the state of Eclipse Runtime Technologies and better serve the Eclipse community.

Cheers,
Ian
