[news.eclipse.eclipsecon] Questions for Program Committee about the Tuto

[Lee Anne <nospam_kowalskilee@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Program Committee,

Scott Kellicker posted the message below to this newsgroup with some 
follow-up questions for the Program Committee. As I suspect this got 
overlooked in the prior thread, I'm reposting here.

- Will there be some sign-up or surveying done in advance for the 
tutorial sessions, to project adequate seating arrangements for each 
tutorial?

Scott's original appears below.

Thanks in advance for any info on this!
