The e4 summit is approaching fast and I think we need some more preparation to make it a success. I would like to propose that we assign (self-select) a lead for every work package defined in the agenda. This lead will have to prepare a write-up (on the wiki) that offers some guidance for the break-out session (at least as verbose as here http://wiki.eclipse.org/E4/Eclipse_Application_Model) and also lead it. Everybody else interested in the topic can provide a position paper, which will assure him the opportunity to get heard.
This will also help everybody to prepare for the summit. Topics that we don't find anybody to lead could be moved to the end of the summit with the risk of not getting addressed at all. As a result of each break-out session we should have the key findings / open issues written down. I think it is essential that we also have the names of people that will implement the stuff. Probably we should make sure that we have the people to implement stuff before we get into a lengthly discussion of a topic at all. Currently we have 16 topics planned, that is only one hour per topic if we do not have multiple things going on at the same time. There are a lot of things that are interdependent, so I am having a hard time splitting up the topics into more than 2 break out sessions. Here is a strawman for an agenda: Day 1 All: Welcome, introduction and personal motivation All: Architecture Foundation (goals) 2 break outs: Modelling the workbench, client-server split All: Results, lunch 2 break outs: RCP, Flexible Resource Model All: Results 2 break outs: Eclipse Application Model, skripting Eclipse All: Results 2 break outs: Plugins implemented in other languages, Declarative UI All: Results, Summary of the day Day 2 2 break outs: SWT Browser edition, Build and Distribution All: Results 2 break outs: Styling/CSS, e4 tooling All: Results, lunch 3 break outs: e4 embedded, Commands, web based ide All: Results All: Architecture Foundation (decisions) Also, when do we start and end on Thursday / Friday?
