Tease the RAP committers!
Ok, it’s getting tough. Only 9 days left before EclipseCon officially starts. All contributors and committers around me are already swarming around to get the demos and presentations ready - besides fixing bugs for the upcoming M6 build. But why is everybody so excited about EclipseCon? I think the numerous talks are only one side of the coin. Personally the way more interesting part is the come-together of all people you know from bug reports, mailing lists and newsgroups. While it is nice to see each other, it often brings up great discussions about Eclipse technology - especially interesting for me: RAP and E4.
The number of BoFs this year is tremendous. If you’re developing RAP applications or planning to use RAP in the near future, you should definitly visit me and the rest of the team at the RAP BoF. As this is the first BoF for the RAP project we’re really excited to see who’s coming. If you’re planning to attend, why don’t you just add some of your ideas to the list of discussion topics? The intention of BoFs is that you have the chance to talk directly with the RAP committers and give the team the chance to see your standpoints. Take the chance to poke us for all the bugs we didn’t fix yet ;-) Or if you’re interested to see any of the long-standing feature requests to be added to the plan - no problem (at least if you have enough beer for the team)! We’re looking forward to some lively discussions - not just as part of the BoF!
