I'm forwarding this from the cdt-dev mail alias. It is from the
embedded marketing workgroup. The deadlines are fast approaching for
EclipseCon 2006, so please consider proposing a talk, tutorial, or BOF
on embedded topics relevant to your area of expertise.
You can find more information on keynotes, deadlines, and current
submissions at www.eclipsecon.org <http://www.eclipsecon.org/> .
Thanks,
Doug Gaff
PMC Lead
________________________________
The embedded marketing working group is always trying to raise the
profile of Eclipse in the embedded market. To that end, we'd like to try
to reach out to more embedded market attendees at EclipseCon 2006,
particularly as the event is being held in the San Jose area, a hot bed
for embedded hardware and software development. We're working with the
EclipseCon planning committee to elevate our presence and contributions
at this event. Specifically we're hoping to do the following:
- organize a dedicated part of the show floor for "embedded" exhibitors
(an embedded pavillion)
- organize a "virtual track" on the conference agenda, featuring content
specific to the cares and concerns of the embedded developer
-project presentations
-panel discussions
-BOF sessions
Last year, we didn't formalize our contributions and while we had a
great list of suggested talks, we don't think many of them made it to
the formal submission process. This year we'd like to reach out to
committers for (a) content ideas and (b) volunteers to drive
submissions. We're also very interested in any creative ideas for
panels, especially those that show the use of Eclipse in the embedded
market. And of course, if you're interested in a particular topic for a
BOF, please let us know.
