Free/Libre Open Source Software Project Summit

Sunday, July 31, 2005 - 10:51 by Mike Milinkovich

As mentioned by Ted Leung, this weekend the OSCON folks have organized the Free/Libre Open Source Software Project Summit. A big “thank you” goes to Allison Randal for all of the work to set this up.

Why I Hate….

Saturday, July 30, 2005 - 23:05 by Mike Milinkovich

I just read a hilarious presentation from ApacheCon Europe entitled Why I Hate the Apache Web Server.

I think that any successful project with some history will have some warts and inconsistencies. I’m sure we have our share.

When will we hit 1 million?

Thursday, July 28, 2005 - 17:53 by Ian Skerrett

I am heading out for a 2 week vacation. It looks like I won’t be hear to see the counter roll over to 1 million downloads. So when will we actually get to 1 million? Right now we are at 854,694. It seems we are getting about 20,000 per day. So assuming no additional denial of service attacks, I am going to predict we hit 1 million on August 4. I will let someone else predict the time.

OSS, Agendas and Commercial Profits

Thursday, July 21, 2005 - 09:16 by Ian Skerrett

There have been some discussions lately about open source software and the corporate agendas that are tied to them. A thread on Javalobby where someone accuses IBM for having an agenda to sell WSAD and Sun having an agenda for NetBeans. Also Marc Fleury, making what I find to be the obvious statement that few people do work for free.

Reporter looking to speak to Eclipse users

Wednesday, July 13, 2005 - 16:46 by Ian Skerrett

John Waters at AD Trends is working on a story for App Trends about Java tools and would like to speak with some users of the Eclipse IDE. Specifically he’s looking for:

A developer who is currently using the Eclipse IDE as his/her basic Java development tool and adding plug-ins to customize its functionality
An IT manager whose developers are doing this, either with company’s blessing or without

If you are willing to talk to John send me an e-mail and I will forward it on to him.

Promoting Eclipse C/C++ to Linux and Embedded Developers

Wednesday, July 13, 2005 - 10:55 by Ian Skerrett

We would like to raise the awareness of Eclipse with Linux and Embedded Developers. Lots of people know of Eclipse as being a great platform for Java development tools. Eclipse also has a great C/C++ IDE which is being used by lots of companies as the foundation for their Linux and/or embedded developer tools.

Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics

Monday, July 11, 2005 - 14:33 by Mike Milinkovich

This is sort of “better late than never”, but between traveling to JavaOne and our Foundation staff member meeting last week, I missed Kirill Grouchnikov’s blog posting on who fixed what bugs in Eclipse 3.1.

The Eclipse ecosystem at JavaOne

Friday, July 1, 2005 - 09:38 by Ian Skerrett

The Eclipse ecosystem really shined at JavaOne. David Berlind did a good job summarizing this fact in his blog.

Congratulations to all the Eclipse member organizations who made announcements at JavaOne. Thank you for the great support you are providing the Eclipse community.

Download Mania

Thursday, June 30, 2005 - 02:38 by Mike Milinkovich

As I mentioned in my previous post, Eclipse.org was hammered by a DDOS attack when we posted Eclipse 3.1. You may have noticed that the form of the attack has almost certainly inflated the number of download requests showing in the “Eclipse Download Challenge” counter.

JavaOne Roundup

Thursday, June 30, 2005 - 01:38 by Mike Milinkovich

So I head for SFO in the wee hours of the morning and thought it would be worth jotting down a few thoughts and observations. Here they are in more-or-less random order.

Eclipse was very well represented at JavaOne. For example, it was amazing the degree to which Eclipse showed up in the keynotes:
