Topics

• EclipseCon 2007 Long Talks & Panel Selection
  • Long Talks agreed to be ACCEPTED among PMC members:
    • What do YOU want UML to be? : Considered a popular topic and of interest to attendees.
    • Model-to-model transformations using Eclipse tools : An increasingly interesting topic within EMP, with the only reservation being that it might consider participation from members of the M2M project.
    • GMF Best Practices : A popular project within EMP that should attract a healthy audience, with the only reservation being that it should also mention the GMF runtime component in the context of best practices.
    • Teneo: Model Driven Relational Persistence, Persisting EMF Models using Hibernate/JPOX : Another very popular topic within EMP, sure to interest attendees.
    • Modeling Generics with Ecore : An intersting talk covering EMF and Java 5 topics, with a recommendation to include aspects of performance experiences as well.
  • Feedback on remaining Long Talk submissions:
    • Eclipse Platform Support for Logical Model Integration : Interesting topic, although it doesn't focus on any EMP technologies directly, and perhaps is a bit too narrow in focus.
    • Using Acceleo with a GMF modeler : Interesting topic, but not enough slots to consider.
    • Reverse Engineering in Eclipse with the MoDisco project : An interesting new topic, but perhaps too new still? Perhaps a short talk or demo?
    • EMFT JET: Building code generators to support Model Driven Development : Just not enough slots :(
    • A Tour of the Eclipse Modeling Project : Too much content to cover at a reasonable level of detail to be of value. Perhaps a demo with somewhat restricted content?
    • Great Stereo, Great Speakers - Modeling for a Dynamic Business Environment : A tough one to consider... on the one hand, good "from the trenches" talk, but then also good for consideration in the Industry Vertical track. Maybe even a demo or short talk candidate?
    • Lessons from the Field: Customizing EMF Models for XSD-Based Documents : Interesting, but perhaps too narrow a focus? Maybe a short talk is possible?
    • Integrating EMF with JPA--Enabling Enterprise Data Access for RCP Applications : Another interesting talk, but would recommend combining if possible with 3806.
  • Panel agreed to be ACCEPTED among PMC members (only one submission):
    • Model Comparison Panel : Sounds good to everyone.
• M2M Creation Review (passed)
• M2T Creation Review (requested)
• Modeling Workflow Engine proposal
  • Need to await next call for Markus to attend and discuss further. One proposal is to develop within the context of GMT.
• Comparison with Visual Studio discussion (Markus)
  • See thread in newsgroup.

Actions

• Invite Frederic Jouault to be a member of the PMC, as Project Lead of M2M (Rich - done!)

• Add a comment for 3739 to include aspects of the GMF runtime component (Kenn)
• Discuss with Markus the possibility of forming Workflow Engine within the context of GMT, at first (Jean)
