Ahti has done a very nice summary of the current nominations for the Eclipse Community Awards Individual awards. However, don’t forget you can also recognize your favourite Eclipse based product. Nominations are trickling in, last year 80% came in the last week, but we need a lot more. Feel free...
EclipseCon is my favourite show of the year. And that’s not just because I’m an employee of the Eclipse Foundation. Honestly. I’ve put together a recommended track; I’m not sure if I’ve done it in the right spirit, since I’ve just made a listing of the talks that I’m planning...
A new year means we need to order new Eclipse swag. Last year we ordered some shirts and fleeces to give out to people that make an extra effort to build the Eclipse community. We have almost run out so it is time to order more. I know people have...
