Not all of the Eclipse and OSGi news is happening at EclipseCon. IBM and Cisco just announced at Voicecon a client platform for unified communication and collaboration. Great to see Cisco getting behind Eclipse and OSGi.

Last night we announced the winners of the Eclipse Community Awards. Congratulations to Chris, Ed, Kimberly, Tom and Daniel for winning the individual awards. I am thrilled to see QNX Momentics, TIBCO Business Studio, PSICAT, eclipse-cs Checkstyle and JP Morgan win in the technology award categories. There were lots of...
