[news.eclipse.modeling.gmt.amw] Re: [Announce] The EclipseCon 2008 Submission Deadline is Rapidly Approaching.

Modeling Community,

I'm very pleased that EclipseCon 2008 submissions have really picked up:
https://eclipsecon.greenmeetingsystems.com/submissions
At this very moment 15% of the submissions are about modeling.   But there's only one more week left for submissions so opportunities remain.   If you are planning to attend EclipseCon but aren't planning to give a talk, I strongly urge you to consider giving at least a short talk about the cool things you are working on.  They're only ten minutes so the preparation time is minimal and it will given everyone an opportunity to find out about what you are working on.  It's a great way to hook up with people with similar interests; meeting people at EclipseCon is half the fun.  So please consider participating and sharing a little of yourself with the community.  You'll be glad you did!

The deadline for EclipseCon 2008 submissions is rapidly approaching.  Don't wait until the last minute.  At the very least, plan ahead to avoid the stress!

There are slots for eight two hour tutorials with two presenters getting free admission; tutorial attendance is included in the price of admission so expect a large turnout.   There are five long talks, with one presenter getting free admission.  And there are ten short talks, but I don't recall if there is a discount on attendance.

Last I checked, there weren't any submissions yet :'( but all the tracks seem to be in the same boat. :-P   I understand it's common for most of the submissions to arrive on the last day.  But why wait?  :-\ I'll be very disappointed and embarrassed if we don't use all our valuable slots. :-[

Check out all the fun stuff you might miss if you don't come.
