    One Million Galileo Downloads

    Tuesday, July 21, 2009 - 10:29 by Anonymous (not verified)
    Sometime yesterday we surpassed the 1 million download request mark for Galileo packages. It took us just 27 days to hit that mark and this number doesn’t even include the bitTorrents or the member distros. The Galileo launch activities have also been very popular and successful: – 29 DemoCamps were...

    New Committer Handbook

    Monday, July 20, 2009 - 13:14 by Wayne Beaton
    Last week I started working on the New Committer Handbook as a resource to help—curiously enough—new committers get up to speed with all those things that they need to know. It’s still very much a work in progress, but it’s coming along nicely. My ultimate goal is to provide a...

Most of this effort is concerned with providing some additional prose around the existing content to make it easier for contributors and committers to make sense of the Eclipse Development Process and navigate the many resources available. I’ve decided...

    Tuesday, July 14, 2009 - 17:08 by Benjamin Cabé
    After about 3 years of activity in the Eclipse community, and about 2 years of –not always…– regular blogging in French, I’m finally ready to join Planet Eclipse and start sharing with the community! I’m interested in many topics, thus expect posts about PDE, OSGi, Modeling (EMF, xText, …), Continuous...
