Re: [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Mobile Device Programming proposals
Well, while I agree with the general statement that the talks should do something with Eclipse or for Eclipse, I think that we should not try to derive the acceptance of talks from sponsors.

Many people go to conferences because they learn something new there. Sponsors go to conferences because they want to sell something or because they want to hire people or because they want to do the conference a favor. 

As the PC I think we should make sure that we have a great program for a conference where we would want to go to. People will look at the program, not at the list of sponsors. 

So on the concrete topic: I wouldn't care if we end up having a talk on Android or something else in the program, as long as there is a (strong) connection to Eclipse. As an example: "Building apps for Android" would not be enough. "Using the ADT to build Android Apps" might be.

Just my 2 cents

FWIW, I would look at the sponsor profiles as a bit of guidance. 

There's a number of Enterprise software companies, so I'd definitely recommend a strong enterprise focus.  There's strong modeling and design sponsors again, so definitely recommend a strong focus there.  A number of tools/technology vendors (small and large), so some focus there as well.

I don't really see any mobility interest showing up yet, so I believe you are asking a very good question if there will be a strong attendee profile for it beyond a passing interest.

Hi Achim et al.,

I had the exact same feeling while looking at these proposals… I would accept a talk highlighting how the Android/BB/whatever Eclipse-based SDK can be used in conjunction with other pieces of Eclipse technology to build a rich solution, but, just like you, I don't see much interest in focusing on "Android/BB/whatever development tips and tricks" …

Objet : [eclipse.org-eclipsecon-program-committee] Mobile Device Programming proposals

Hi all,

there are quite a few proposals in the domain of "Mobile device Programming", especially Android-SW-Development. I can see that these are important and interesting topics but I'm not sure if EclipseCon is the right forum for these talks. Examples include

Location Based Services - Tips & Tricks and a least 3 more proposal from ekke

and a few not so obvious talks which I remember but can't find in a hurry.

It's my opinion that it is not enough to have an Eclipse based toolchain to validate talks which are centered at Android/Blackberry/iOS development.

What's your opinion?

Achim
