Satisfaction: 2
Liked_Best: The diversity of the ecosystem that was represented at the conference.
Short_Talk: Like
Short_Talk_Length: 9
Short_Talk_Format: Horizontal
Parallel: More
Number_Of_Parallel: 10
Format: 1+3
Later_Sessions: Yes
Exhibit_Hall_Hours: The current format was good, but not for good reasons. I\'m an RCP guy and there were time slots that just didn\'t have anything very interesting to an RCP guy, which provided a natural time for me to visit the exhibit hall.

Next year, there should be explicit tracks, with an explicit time slot for each track to visit the exhibit hall. These time slots could be staggered so that the exhibit hall is never overwhelmed.
OS_Pavillion: Yes
Keynotes: No_change
Keynote_Speakers: Lee Nackman
Improve_Next_Year: Explicit tracks.

There were too many time slots with nothing very interesting to an Eclipse RCP developer.

The Eclipse ecosystem is becoming so diverse that the main challenge I see for EclipseCon is defining what it wants to be. It can either define a specific set of constituancies and serve them well or it can try to be all things to all people.

We all know that the latter of those two choices won\'t scale as the Eclipse community continues to explode.

At a minimum, EclipseCon needs to define specific tracks up-front and have folks submit talks into those tracks. Then make sure each time slot serves each track well.
