Mike Milinkovich's blog

As promised, here is my attempt to capture the state of the Eclipse community at present. It is an incredibly daunting task to try to do this in a single blog post. But here goes… The obvious place to start is the recent release of Eclipse Europa. I just checked...

Earlier this week I was on the “How Do We Get More Apps on Linux?” panel at the Linux Foundation’s Collaboration Summit. I certainly have to agree with Danese Coopers‘s comments about being on panels. The more questions from the audience, the better IMHO. As she alludes to, I personally...

So Bjorn and I just finished our JavaOne talk on Eclipse Europa. Attendance was good, and we had a lot of great questions after the talk. Last night was the Eclipse party, and I got a chance to catch up with a lot of folks that I hadn’t seen in...
