I decided to take podcasting in a new direction and interview myself. Okay, it’s not really an interview; it’s more like 15 minutes of me rambling on about the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) programme, the Eclipse Summer of Code project, and cross-over between the two. I have a couple...

I’ve been hinting at this project for a few weeks now, and I’m glad to see the proposal finally posted. The “Riena” project intends to produce an Über Rich Client Platform. I found out about this project only a week or so after I agreed to co-host the upcoming “RCP...

Last Wednesday, Anne (representing the EMO) announced the graduation review of the Rich Ajax Platform ( RAP) project and created Bug 204737 for comments. The graduation review itself will be held on October 3rd, but the community has already started voting. I don’t know if this is unheard of, but...

Christine, who is a senior software engineer with MicroDoc, is co-leading the symposium with George Mesesan, also from MicroDoc. In the podcast, Christine discusses some of...

I’m not sure if this is diversity at work or not, but have you been watching the Visual Editor Project’s ( VEP) Project’s ve-dev list lately? The project-that-could seems to be gathering steam. There’s not what I would call a huge amount of activity, but there seems to be a...

You’ll notice a change if you subscribe to the podcasts feed off the Eclipse Resources page. I’ve set up a redirect that will point you instead to the podcasts feed on Eclipse Live (which, I hope you will agree is a better place for podcasts anyway). Over the next few...

I hear a lot of good stuff about Eclipse Rich Client Platform ( RCP). I also hear some criticism. Perhaps the most popular criticisms that I’ve heard has to do with the scope of RCP. Some members of the community have the opinion that RCP doesn’t go far enough. It’s...
