    Transparency in the development process

    by Wayne Beaton

    I’ve spoken about this in the past, but it’s a pretty important topic, so I thought I’d bring it up again (and will likely do so again)… One of the best ways to keep up to date with what’s happening at Eclipse is to listen in on bugzilla. Bugzilla is...

    Phoenix Rises

    by Mike Milinkovich

    We’re getting close to the final countdown for our first release of Phoenix on Nov. 30th. Or, in other words, finally switching the www.eclipse.org home page over to our new look and feel. The look and content have really come together in the last couple weeks and days. There’s nothing...

    Evangelise this!

    by Wayne Beaton

    I think we can probably all agree that 18 pictures of me putting on the shirt is a little much. However, I think this pretty effectively closes bug# 112631. I am a little concerned that my hair looks just a little goofy; but hopefully that’s more a function of being...

We would all like to get community feedback on the programs we’re currently thinking about. Better yet, I would love to...

    Flip through changed files…

    by Wayne Beaton

    The Eclipse Data Centre

    by Wayne Beaton

    Denis took me down to the data centre today to have a gander at the Eclipse server rack. It’s pretty impressive (a little slice of nerd heaven). The rack is very well organized with all the cables neatly ordered. It’s all very well thought out and implemented. We were in...

    Open Source Business Models

    by Anonymous

    Lately, there has been a lot of discussion on open source business models. Susan Wu at Apache and Stephen Walli at Optaros have a good posts. Most of the discussion has been around VC funded open source companies and if there is an open source bubble. I think we will...
