Eclipse Summit Europe
Now that Ganymede is out the door and the teams have had a chance to breathe a bit, its worth taking a few minutes to think about how you can promote all the hard work you’ve put into the release. One of the best forums you could ask for is Eclipse Summit Europe. [...]

Have Bugzilla ID, can contribute…
There has been a lot of discussion in a variety of places recently about the barriers to entry of various Eclipse projects or projects being closed to contributions etc. I agree.

EclipseCon program
