[Lawrence Mandel <lmandel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Although we mentioned on todays call
that Erich and John have given "What's new in Eclipse" keynotes
the last two (only two) years at EclipseCon we didn't discuss inviting
them to do so again and I think we should. Their talks both years were
both well attended and well received and at this point I feel the "What's
new in Eclipse" talk is expected at EclipseCon.

Any objections?

Subject	RE: [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] RE: Kickoff meeting

Action Items and Owners:

• Everyone: Confirm the following schedule for status telecoms: Friday, 10am PDT on Aug 12, Aug 26, every Friday in Sept (2, 9, 16, 23, 30). If keynote speaker selection completes earlier and tutorial selection is on track we can scale back the number of telecons. We’re revisit group meeting periodicity once we enter the talk selection phase, since the three tracks may be more independent at that point.
• Doug: Pursue “CIO of large company adopting open source software, especially if std. on Eclipse” for keynote speaker.
• Sri: Pursue “CTO of tooling company standardizing delivery on Eclipse platform” for keynote speaker.
• Tim: Continue investigating the following: Sun (esp. NetBeans), MS (if appropriate), Apache/Geronimo
• MikeB: Contact Martin Fowler for keynote availability.
• Tim: Find sub to host 8/12 call (vacation)
• Bjorn: Status update on “EclipseConZilla” tool.

(Reminder: Track chairs are
responsible for at least one keynote speaker option each, and *everyone*
should be working to recruit talent conference-wide regardless of whether
you have specific AIs above. –tw)
 
Attendees:

• Srinivas
• Lawrence
• Gunnar
• Doug
• MikeB
• MikeT

External deadlines for program
committee:

• 10/1: keynote speaker selection complete
• 10/30: tutorial selection complete
• 12/1: technical presentation selection (long and short talks) complete

…with
the caveat that we may extend the deadline formally and/or accept content
of merit after the deadline.
 
Other Topics:

• Introductions
• Reviewed process (Bugzilla-like tool, open and transparent to community, rolling admission)
• General discussion around keynotes (see AIs for detailed outcome)

Once the Wiki is set up we
can track minutes and AIs there; for now, please send any corrections or
additions to me via this distribution list.

    Welcome, everyone to the EclipseCon 2006 program committee. Many thanks to Bjorn for convening us. I'm looking forward to working with you to make the content compelling, balanced, and above all interesting.
     
    I'd like to have an initial telecom this Friday, July 22nd. Let me propose 10am PDT and see how many people have issues with that time slot.
     
    I'll send around am more formal agenda prior to the call, but the meeting will include discussing the overall timeline, specific deadlines (especially for ourselves), organizational issues, etc.
     
    Please confirm your available for Friday at 10, and if you can make the day but not the hour, another time that you would be available._______________________________________________
