I have moved my blogging activities over the the Eclipse blog site. See you over there.

We announced the results of the 2008 board elections earlier today. The turnout this year was a modest improvement over last year. There were 148 committer votes cast, and 29 Add-In Provider votes. For 2008 there were 5 spots for each class of elected representative. This means that the Add-In...

The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys. Sound familiar? Well Denis’ new toys arrived in the mail today. You see, Denis is 100% toy-focused. When he is not riding his snow machine (that Canadian for snowmobile) or his 4-wheeler (Canadian for ATV), Denis like...

Just a reminder to all you folks out there that today is the last day for EclipseCon 2008 early registrations. EclipseCon 2008 is shaping up to be the best EclipseCon ever. More talks, more tracks, Developer Days, hackathons, cool keynotes…. If you are interested in Eclipse technologies for tools, frameworks...

The process of electing the 2008 board of director slots has begun. As of this moment, there will be four elected committer representatives and four elected add-in provider representatives on next year’s board. However, under our Bylaws, the final determination will be made based on the total number of strategic...

I just received one of those standard project announcements from Anne Jacko, but in it was something which really caught my eye: ——————————————————————- EMFT Project Announcement The EMFT project would like to announcement the creation of a new component, EMF4NET. The goal of EMF4Net is to enhance the Eclipse Modeling...

So the staff of your friendly neighbourhood Eclipse Foundation honoured U.S. Thanksgiving last week with an afternoon of bowling. (That would be 5-pin to those not from Canada.) It was sort of like an Eclipse DemoCamp for the athletically challenged. Apparently my misspent youth was worth something after all. I...
