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

Depending on the room configuration and number of people it is
possible to do the breakouts in the same room. 4 breakouts, 4 corners… We did
this for the Equinox summit. It is less than optimal so additional rooms would
be good. In the limit N-1 additional rooms where N is the number of expected
concurrent breakouts. Jeff From:

Milinkovich It is all well and good to suggest having breakouts, but right
now we don’t have rooms for them. If there is a need to breakout rooms, can someone please confirm
that requirement and how many rooms are desired. Then we will see if IBM’s
facilities at the former Cognos HQ can accommodate our ever-increasing needs J From:

McAffer This is a fine line that we have walked with the p2 and Equinox
summits. On the one hand you want all interested parties to feel welcome
on the other we are shooting for some actual results. People with skin in
the game are ideal. They have the power to act on things, drive
directions, make contributions. The way we but it for the provisioning
workshop was “This is not a meeting for managers or observers, it's a
workshop for do-ers - people who have code or real-world experience to
contribute or can provide other substantial information that furthers the goals
of the workshop.” Something we did for the Equinox summit was to ask people for
short position papers: “Writing a short positioning paper outlining your usecases,
requirements and potential contributions really helps.” This helps both self-identify individuals ideas/code/time to
contribute and harvest content for the discussions. As for setting up the agenda etc, I agree with John that
spending the bit of the summit level setting and gathering topic is
great. We then voted on breakout session topics with some light
moderation to ensure diversity an coverage. First day was aimed at
discovery of issues, topics, directions. Second day was more aimed at
progress on key areas and then we summed up with some action items and near
term planning. I would suggest no more than 4 break outs at a time. Just some thoughts based on some past summits. Jeff From:

Doug That's a great point John. This will play on how big a venue we
need as well. We really need to highlight that this is intended to be a working
event for potential contributors. If we get as many people that attended the e4
talk at EclipseCon, then I don't think that'll serve us well. Doug. From:
