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

Hi John,

This makes sense to me.  The summit should be dynamic.  When
Boris and I discussed it my comment was just that I wanted to ensure we
all had done some mental prep work before arriving so that we could get
the most out of our time together.  Thus its good if we have a rough
plan of topic areas and who is interested.  But then, since an important
output of the summit *is* to decide what the topic areas are and who is
interested, we should expect this to solidify from our discussions there.

You know, I just don't want us to all
to show up and go, "So... what's happening?" :)

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.
