The call for posters and Birds of a Feather (BOF) sessions at EclipseCon is open. It's not too late to be a part of the program!
Posters are a great way to present your Eclipse topic informally while people browse the displays and enjoy a few beverages. Posters will be presented during the Wednesday evening reception. BOFs are informal, one-hour gatherings of people who want to talk about a particular topic. They are scheduled for the evenings, after the receptions, and they serve as a great way to continue conversations that have been started during the day.
New to EclipseCon is the Unconference. Monday through Wednesday, you can present an Eclipse-related talk by signing up each evening at 5:30pm in the registration area. It's first-come, first-served, and presentations must be short, to a maximum of 25 minutes.
Submit your poster and BOF proposals today at http://www.eclipsecon.org/2010/submissions and start planning for your unconference presentations.
Now is the time to register for EclipseCon. The early registration
price gives a 20% discount off the on-site price, but it only lasts until February 14.
Register today for maximum savings.
EclipseCon features the latest on the current trends in the Eclipse community. For example,
this year you can learn about:
- e4, the next generation of the Eclipse Platform, which is scheduled for release 1.0 in July 2010
- the new Gemini and Virgo projects that make it easier to use OSGi and EclipseRT for enterprise deployment
- the latest modeling projects being used to create domain specific languages
- integrating Eclipse into a build and continuous integration environment
EclipseCon 2010 takes place March 22-25 in Santa Clara, CA.
Needham, MA, USA and Ottawa, ON, Canada - February 3, 2010 - OMG™ and the Eclipse Foundation have issued a Call for Participation for the 2nd Biannual Symposium on Eclipse Open Source Software and OMG Open Specifications to be held June 23, 2010 in Minneapolis, Minn., USA. The submission deadline is February 24. For more information visit http://www.omg.org/eclipse-cfp.
Eclipse is an open source community whose projects are focused on building an open development platform comprised of extensible frameworks, tools and runtimes for building, deploying and managing software across the lifecycle. Many Eclipse projects implement one or more OMG specifications. This symposium follows two successful one-day events that Eclipse and OMG jointly organized in 2008 to promote and build on the partnership between Eclipse's open source software and OMG's open specifications. It will include a series of discussion sessions on OMG standards and corresponding Eclipse projects, to facilitate alignment between current specifications and implemented software, and identify areas where the cooperation could be further improved in future.
Eclipse Foundation and OMG invite position papers on any of the topic areas below, or any other area where an OMG specification relates to Eclipse software. The Program Committee will publish all submitted position papers, and invite selected paper authors to lead individual discussion sessions.
Topics may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Extensibility of specifications and/or open source implementations to support
- Conformant commercial implementations
- New application domains
- New requirements
- Processes for evolving specifications and/or open source implementations
- Open source implementations for specifications
- Standardized models or interfaces for open source implementations
- Collaboration between open source implementations
The Program Committee particularly welcomes papers that deal with specific problems and solutions that may benefit from a wider discussion than that available though Eclipse Bug Reports or OMG Issue reporting.
Interested individuals or organizations are invited to submit a brief (up to 600 words) position paper by February 24, 2010 using this web form (please select "Presentation"): http://www.omg.org/abstracts.
The Program Committee will send invitations to prospective session leaders in early March 2010. The final symposium agenda and registration details will be available on March 17, 2010 and posted at: http://www.omg.org/news/meetings/tc/mn/special-events/Eclipse.htm.
