Thanks to the webmaster team, committers can now host blogs on eclipse.org infrastructure.  Accordingly, I have moved from mcaffer.blogspot.com to http://dev.eclipse.org/blogs/jeff.  If, for whatever reason you have me in your subscriptions, you may want to update that link.

BTW, some people have asked why the Foundation has setup its own blog infrastructure when there is so much free blogging available.  Honestly, I asked the same thing when the idea was first proposed.  Various reasons were given but in the end, the one that really converted me is the IP management.  Everything posted to eclipse.org falls under the EPL.  So if you post some ideas for how to do something etc. in your eclipse.org blog, the legal context and terms of use are clearly defined.  This committers, for example, to have open discussion and not be worried that some comment might taint their work.

Anyway, happy reading…

Jeff
