on Mar 5th, 2009Collaboration at EclipseCon
EclipseCon is less than three weeks away. Everyone I talk to or work with is either finalizing work on M6 or working on EclipseCon presentations. I’m surely biased but the program this year is arguably the best ever. Especially if you are a runtime type. There are quite a number of talks on Equinox, p2, RAP, ECF, PDE, g-Eclipse and more.
What is really great is the number of joint talks and joint efforts around talks. Most of the 25 or so talks involving the EclipseSource team are joint with other committers from other companies. We’ve got the RAP guys working with the BIRT guys, the multi-national ECF team is using examples from the Runtime (r)evolution talk and I’ve been working with the EMF, Teneo and EclipseLink folks on some shared reusable demoware. The g-Eclipse guys are in on the game showing you how to do Equinox on the cloud. Of course, we are using the RFC 119 Distributed Services implementation from ECF wherever we can.
This should make for really informative and interesting talks that cover a wider range of the technologies that impact you.
I am particularly pumped that even in these hard financial times so many committers are still able to make it. EclipseSource is managing to send more than a dozen people and many others are gathering from their scarce resources to make sure they attend. Clearly EclipseCon is a must this year. Have you registered yet?

Jeff,
Great stuff all right, I’m looking forward to it as well. One thing that isn’t mentioned anywhere yet (at least I don’t think so) is that I’ll be giving an overview of the entire OSGi 4.2 release during the OSGi BOF, and hopefully getting a discussion going (OSGi community folks aren’t shy, are they?).
And thanks again for the endorsement on distributed OSGi.
See you at the ‘con.
Eric
