Satisfaction: 1
Liked_Best: The people. By far the best part of the conference was the many opportunities to meet interesting people in the Eclipse community.
Short_Talk: Like
Short_Talk_Length: 9
Short_Talk_Format: Horizontal
Parallel: Just_Right
Format: 1+3
Later_Sessions: No
Exhibit_Hall_Hours: I don\'t think it\'s necessary to have the exhibit hall open during keynotes. It would be nice to have some amount of coverage of the exhibit hall in the afternoons as I like to head there when I need a break from the sessions.
OS_Pavillion: Yes
Keynotes: No_change
Improve_Next_Year: WRT the keynotes/plenaries, I think the three keynotes are required and a great way to kick off the day. Both the plenary sessions this year took the form of long talks and I don\'t know that there was a value to schedule them on their own. I\'d say next year that the PC should decide on whether to schedule a plenary on each day or not.

I\'d like to see more mixer events. Conferences such as JavaOne include mixer events in the evening that aim to provide another setting for the community to get together. Something like an EclipseCon mixer at a bar/restaurant or a visit to an amusement park in the evening (there was one right next door).
