A WebMaster’s view of Eclipse.org

Rants, praise and observations related to the technical and psychological challenges of running servers for a pretty busy site.

Five years @ Eclipse.org

Today is October 1st — my fifth anniversary working at Eclipse.  To celebrate, I thought it would be appropriate to compile a THEN and NOW table of Eclipse.org, as seen by an IT guy.  As the years go by, some things changed, and some stayed the same…

There is a picture here.

I’m sure that list doesn’t even scratch the surface of everything we’ve done in the past five years, nor does it hint at all the awesome people I am privileged to work with on a daily basis.  Here’s to another 5 years of supporting this great community and helping projects pump out the coolest stuff!

    I love your mailinglist comparison ;-)

    Congrats and thank you! You don’t get enough credit for helping make Eclipse the success it is.

    BTW, I love the mailing lists. It’s where all the action is. Other than the Planet that is ;).

    @Alex: I’m not so sure I’m slightly less vibrant than you are :)

    @Robert: I’m looking forward to that already.
