Gartner Open Source Conference

Sunday, December 11, 2005 - 05:12

I had the opportunity to attend the Gartner Open Source Summit this week in Orlando. Overall, I am glad I went and I think Gartner deserves congratulations for putting on a fine event. Zach Urlocker from MySQL has also blogged about the conference. Gartner has been criticized for being slow, even negative, on open source. The good news is that this seems to be changing.

Is it just me?

Everytime somebody says something about the Eclipse 3.2 release train, I hear Natalie Merchant‘s voice in the back of my head singing Peace Train. Is it just me?

Deploying an RCP application on multiple platforms

Saturday, December 10, 2005 - 09:00 by Wayne Beaton

I’ve been answering a bunch of questions from the webinar Jeff and I delivered a few days back.

One listener asked:

Building GUIs in Eclipse

Friday, December 9, 2005 - 11:05 by Wayne Beaton

Jeff and I got a lot of questions during the webinar we did last week, but we were only able to answer a few of them in the time we had available. The good people at BZ Media were nice enough to send me a file with all the questions. I’ve been spending a good chunk of my time trying to provide answers for all of them. And… I thought I’d share some of them.

One listener asked

Does Eclipse have a GUI builder that:

What is a Rich Client?

Thursday, December 8, 2005 - 09:36 by Wayne Beaton

There is a lot of talk about the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP). Jeff McAffer and I delivered a webinar on the topic a few days ago and I’m getting ready to deliver a similar talk at Javapolis in Belgium next week. One of the things that I like to include in a talk is a definition of “Rich Client”.

When to use Eclipse RCP?

Monday, December 5, 2005 - 09:44

As we start talking more and more about Eclipse RCP, I find it important to be able to describe when someone should consider using Eclipse RCP, instead of alternative technologies. If anything it starts to help people better understand the capabilities of Eclipse RCP.

Eclipse Community Awards

Sunday, December 4, 2005 - 15:46

We have just announced the Eclipse Community Awards (yes I know we need a better name, more on that later). A lot of individuals and organizations spend countless hours contributing to the Eclipse community. This is your chance to nominate that individual or technology that you think is deserving of recognition.

Gartner Open Source Conference and ApacheCon

Sunday, December 4, 2005 - 15:33

Over the next two weeks I will be traveling to the Gartner Open Source Conference and ApacheCon. I think it is really great to see Gartner hosting an open source conference. I am hopeful they will start helping educate the decision makers in IT departments on the merits and issues of open source software.

I’m guessing that nobody was impressed with my Eclipse Haiku yesterday. That’s okay, it was my first attempt at an Eclipse-based Haiku (I wrote a few great ones about Alanis Morrisette last year, but I digress). It just gets better from here. No… really…
