[tptp-news] EclipseCon 2009: Call for Participation

[Eugene Chan <ewchan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

TPTP Community,

      As the EclipseCon
2009 Program Committee Lead for the Test and Performance category, I would
like extend an invitation to the TPTP community to participate in EclipseCon
2009 by proposing a talk or tutorial for the Test and Performance category.
 This category covers topics related to test and performance tooling
that leverage Eclipse. Test and Performance tooling is used throughout
the software development and test life cycle, from early unit testing,
profiling, and tuning to post-deployment tracing. This category is focused
on the implementation, extension, and use of test and performance tooling
- both open source and commercial - targeting a broad spectrum of systems
including embedded, stand-alone, distributed, and enterprise. There is
particular interest in exploitation and user experience of the Test and
Performance Tools Platform (TPTP) project.

Presentation types:
    * Tutorial - A four-hour
presentation, with coding and/or a hands on workshop.
    * Long Talk - A one-hour
presentation that goes into detail and/or demonstration on a topic. Long
talks slots might also be used for panels. 
    * Short Talk - A five-
to ten-minute presentation that covers the highlights of a topic. 
    * Posters - Posters are,
well, posters and poster authors stand by their posters and answer questions
during the poster reception session.
    * Birds of a Feather -
Birds of a Feather meetings are informal (i.e., unplanned) one-and-a-half-hour
gatherings of people who want to talk about a particular topic. 

If you are interested in proposing a
talk, tutorial, or poster
