Improve_Next_Year: 1. Move deadline for presentation materials closer to the conference day (a month in advance seems quite uncomfortable. Provided they are not printed (which is good), week or two seems to be enough to write them to cd/flash.
2. Tutorials often (always?) need some pre-installed Eclipse with (a lot of) additional plug-ins - too huge to attach to eclipsezilla and error-prone to describe installation process. Errors with installs lead to lost time during tutorials. Would be really great if there\'s some means to avoid that (and to do it same way for all presenters) - i.e. server with \"just unzip me\" installs (either web or located at tutorial room), or hand-out CDs.
3. Tutorials on day 1 may cause problems when some background is expected. There are sessions during later days that may help to get that kind of project \"overview\", and that would save time if tutorial happens *after* sessions.
