And I should know. I’ve been kicked in the head. A few times. The best part about day three at Linux World was meeting Bill Hilliard from Intel. Bill has a lot of experience with the CDT and was able to educate me as he answered questions about it to...

We just finished up exhibiting at ESC. This was my first ESC, so I really didn’t know what to expect? By all accounts, I think we was a success and we will be back next year. In general, the embedded market doesn’t seem to be as software saavy as the...

I get to join Ian at the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) this week. I spent several hours today walking the exhibit floor looking for Eclipse-based tools and products. They’re everywhere! I am really miffed with myself for forgetting to bring my camera. Just a partial list of companies showing Eclipse-based...

There was a little more excitement around the Unisys booth today. As I attempted to talk by, I was redirected by security personnel. It seems that somebody had collapsed and EMS was working with them. I guess Linux World is just a little too exciting for some. This time, I...

My morning started with me stuck in Boston traffic. It got more exciting. Just minutes after I arrived in the exhibit hall, I nearly got knocked over by a Unisys exhibitor. He was running to see why his booth was on fire. The plumes of smoke where spectacular. Unfortunately, by...

You can download these beauties from the evangelism page. On the topic of Callisto… our first date in the Callisto “Great Bugs” competition is quickly...

I am back in San Jose this week for the Embedded Systems Conference. What a lot of people might not realize is that Eclipse is really big in the embedded and device software space. Most of the major industry players, including Wind River, QNX, Lynxworks, ATI, Monta Vista, Timesys, ENEA...

I’m on my way to Boston to participate in Linux World. I’ve never been to Linux World, so I’m not quite sure what to expect. I’m hoping that at least a few folks show up for my session, titled “ Building Applications for Multiple Platforms Using the Eclipse Rich Client...

Great to see the cover story of the March 31 edition of the 01 Informatique magazine is on Eclipse RCP. Interesting perspective they have taken on Eclipse and Windows. I can only find an on-line summary of the actual story. Ralph Mueller sent me a scan of the cover page...

It seems that the good folks over at Novell have been working hard on Eclipse content. The Linux University for Developers page contains a bunch of Eclipse tutorials/demos that take you through the process of getting started with Eclipse on OpenSUSE Linux. I went through the first tutorial, titled “...
