Hey gang, I need to pick the successful Long Talk
submissions very soon now and, as always, I seek your help. I’ll give
this until Monday to give the gang in Europe
time to respond. I have personally ranked the talks as follows. Please let me
know your opinion so that I can make the best choice for the community.
Above the line:
-
Assembling your open C and C++
workbench (3841 – Philippe Ombredanne). This looks like an excellent talk
show how the CDT fits into the bigger Eclipse ecosystem. Philippe is a well
respected champion of Eclipse and I’m actually a bit honored that he
submitted this.
-
C/C++ Source Code Introspection
Using the CDT (3903 – Chris Recoskie). We definitely have a few people
interested in using the CDT DOM for source code analysis and is something I
think we need to promote, especially with the huge investment we’ve made
there over the years.
Below the line:
-
What’s New in CDT 4.0 Europa (3710
- Doug Schaefer). I think this would be best served as a demo instead of a long
talk. This was more the default in case we didn’t get any good
submissions, but we did.
-
CDT: easy to use and integrate (3779
– Mikhail Voronin). This is a talk on the new project model. I’m
not sure if the general community would care as much as the committers do. I
definitely encourage this as a short talk, or as part of the CDT 4.0 demo if
you have something to show by then.
-
Improving your C++ development
experience with UML modeling (3854 – Sreerupa Sen, IBM). Of course I
worked on C++ modeling for a long time so this topic is dear to me. I just don’t
get the feedback from the community that UML modeling is something at the top
of people’s wish list at the moment, and unfortunately we only have two
spots.
Of course I don’t want to make the decision myself, so
please let me know what you think. I am open to changes.
