[news.eclipse.eclipsecon] Re: Schedule posted for EclipseCon 2008

Lee Anne,
Thanks for posting regarding the schedule. It looks like an excellent 
conference and I've been anxious to see how sessions line up in the 
schedule.

I'm happy to see the tutorials available to all attendees.  I have found 
the tutorials to be a valuable part of the conference.

Free also means they will be better attended than in past years!  Since 
the tutorials are 2-4 hours, I would hope there would be some process to 
ensure the rooms are adequate for the number of attendees.  Often at the 
more popular long sessions, people end up standing or sitting on the 
floor.  That's OK for an hour, but not for 2-4 hours when the desire is 
to do some hands on work with a laptop!

Power has also been an issue at past tutorials, and a head count would 
help this.

Can anyone from EclipseCon speak to this?
