Re: [eclipse-incubator-e4-dev] Agenda for the e4 Summit

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In the Equinox and provisioning summits
last year, we actualy deferred the topic area finalization to the first
hour of the summit itself (roughly the open spaces format: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Space_Technology).
 I don't know about other people's experiences, but this seemed to
work very well. It allows shuffling the content based on who shows up to
make sure the topics match the audience, and that topics can adjust based
on results from previous breakouts. I suggest a similar approach for the
e4 summit - everyone show up with a list of topics to talk about, but be
prepared to shuffle that list to match the participants as you go.
