Keynote_Speakers: Less talks about the Eclipse community - more entertaining/thought provoking talks like the first one (Joel\'s).
Improve_Next_Year: Have a commitee review the presentations before the conference to try and ensure a higher level of quality. I found the quality of the talks varied - some of the presenters were difficult to understand (language + general public speaking skills), some presentations seemed to have been put together at the last minute.

I feel this is especially important for the tutorials. I attended them this year, and if there wasn\'t a \"quality guarentee\", I would NOT attend them in 2007.

The EMF tutorial I went to in the morning was very well done - the exercises were laid out, the presenters were good, and everything seemed very prepared. The material was good enough that I could share it with others at my company when I got back.

I attended the GMF session in the afternoon, and was extremely dissapointed. They did not post the prerequsites before hand (they handed out the build we needed when we got into the class - and half of the group were missing the files used in the demo), and one of the presenters was very hard to understand/follow. They did not seem very prepared, and after the first hour at least 10 people had walked out.
