Logistics and infrastructure is the topic in part five my interview in Eclipse Magazin.
5. 33 projects - that also means a certain personal and logistic effort to be managed by the Eclipse Foundation. Which infrastructure has been established to assure that the processes are respected by the projects?

“Wir werden e4 in Helios wiedersehen”, Part Four
Does Eclipse have a weight problem? I tackle that question in part four from my interview in Eclipse Magazin.
4. 33 different Eclipse projects are participating in Galileo. If we add the different sub-projects, the number raises up to over 50 projects! This is a great achievement for sure! But on the other hand: 50 projects [...]

“Wir werden e4 in Helios wiedersehen”, Part Two
I’ve started posting excerpts from an interview I did for the latest issue of Eclipse Magazin. This magazine makes me wish that I could read German and had a reasonably long daily commute by train. But, alas, I do not.

2. What was the evolution [...]

“Wir werden e4 in Helios wiedersehen”, Part One
I thought I might publish the English version of an interview I did for the recent issue of Eclipse Magazin (with permission of the publisher, of course). The German version is a delightful bit of prose that my Mother now displays proudly.
I was asked a total of nine questions. Here are the first two:

Ladybugs
From the emo@ mail bag:
I hope you can consider change icon for the “eclipse BUGS”. Ladybugs are good bugs, they are helpers to farmers and gardeners. They eat bad bugs. They should not be used as symbol to represent “eclipse BUGS”.
