I, for one, was happy with our 30 minutes since it was not on the usual Friday morning :-)
;) Thanks john for this mail :) I have so many constraints, you see I put a really excellent talk instead. :) Imagine friday morning at 9h after the rain. Lukas survived to it.
But more seriously, I will just echo Joachim's email (since we talked about this subject for a length of time before he sent it, I saw no surprises there). 30 minutes is sufficient to give an overview of product status. If there is something of particular interest (and more depth) that a vendor has to say, they can submit other presentation proposals on those specific topics.
Tx john. People should remember that this is their conference, we try to get stuff happening but at the end the submissions are important. For the tech awards for example you can only vote for what the people propose. Stef
