I’ve made a new page on eclipse.org for evangelism-related stuff. Included there are presentations from events (including the Eclipse in Motion seminar), source code (so far, I’ve only posted the code for a that eBay RCP application I keep droning on about). I’m going to try and add some spice...

I sent in my talk for LinuxWorld Boston 2006 on Friday. Friday was the deadline and I do try to take deadlines seriously. As you can see from the fancy graphic on the left, the conference is in the beginning of April; I hate having to submit a talk so...

The Medical Banking Project just announced they have selected Eclipse as the platform for their reference implementation. I think it is great to see vertical oriented organizations adopting Eclipse. In my mind vertical frameworks is an important part of the future of open source software and Eclipse.

Last night, I posted Anthony Hunter’s new “ The Eclipse Tabbed Properties View” article on Eclipse Corner. In this article, Anthony describes the API for building (oddly enough) tabbed properties views. The article gives several examples of uses of tabbed properties, including the following (from the Eclipse GMF 1.0M4): A...

I have the lucky task of being the sales guy for EclipseCon. This means I get to talk to all the companies that want to exhibit at EclipseCon. This year one company in particular, Business Objects (BO), is being a huge sponsor of EclipseCon. Business Objects is new to the...

They have regular meetings and invite great speakers including the foundation’s own Bjorn Freeman-Benson and other luminaries from...

Siobhan O’Mahoney at the Harvard Business School has written a case study on IBM’s strategy and process for creating Eclipse. If any of you are interested in the history of Eclipse, this makes for an interesting read. Also, kind of cool that Harvard is using Eclipse as an example for...

It just occurred to me that one of the biggest inhibitors for folks getting together to talk about Eclipse has got to be the acronym. Who wants to go to an EUG (Eclipse Users Group)? It sounds a little like one of the grunts Tim Allen does in his stand...

Yesterday was the deadline for the early bird registration price for EclispeCon. We now have 800 people registered. A great number since we still have over 4 weeks to go! Last year we sold out at 1000 attendees, so I can see us easily going pass that mark. I am...

We wrapped up the first leg of our Eclipse in Motion roadshow last week with stops in San Diego (Tuesday) and Dallas (Thursday). I had a great time and I’m pretty sure everybody who attended did. One thing that I’ve noticed about Eclipse events that are different from most other...
