I blogged before about Higgins, but I recently got an announcement from Lynn about an upcoming webinar and thought that I would pass it along. The Higgins Trust Framework Project: A New Way to Manage Identity Thursday, April 25, 2007 at 08:00 PDT / 11:00 EDT / 15:00 UTC/GMT Convert...
I’ve been pretty quiet lately for a couple of reasons. I’ve been spending a great deal of time over the last two weeks preparing for Eclipse Forum Europe ( EFE) this week. I arrived in Germany a little earlier today; with my presentations pretty much good-to-go and all domestic responsibilities...
We are organizing an Eclipse party at JavaOne, Wednesday, May 9, 7-10pm. This year we are holding the party at Jillians, near the Moscone. Last year, the party was a lot of fun, so I am looking forward to seeing everyone again. If you are interested in attending, please send...
Once again the Eclipse Foundation will have a booth at JavaOne. As an exhibitor we get a number of ‘free’ pavilion passes that allow you access to the exhibit area but not the sessions. If you would like one of these passes, please send an e-mail to Lynn Gayowski (lynn...

AvantSoft has started an interesting new portal, called Eclipse University. The goal is to offer Eclipse training on-line, so you don’t have to travel to a new location. It sounds like an interesting concept and I’d be interested in people’s experiences with virtual training. Feel free to leave a comment...
The folks at BZ Media are getting organized for Eclipse World 2007, November 6-8 in Reston VA. I really enjoyed Eclipse World last year, so I am looking forward to the event this year. To help them make the event even better, they are requesting some feedback from the community...
