The Eclipse Galileo release is coming on June 24 and to celebrate, DemoCamps are being held around the world.  The DemoCamps are informal get togethers where fans can present what they’re doing with Eclipse and catch some previews on new features in the release.  It’s a fun way to see the latest technology being built by the Eclipse community, all while networking in a relaxed setting.

 

Demos of research projects, Eclipse open source projects, applications based on Eclipse, and commercial products using Eclipse will be shown at events in 14 countries from May 18 to June 26.  Specific details for each location are listed on the DemoCamp wiki: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_DemoCamps_Galileo_2009.  The DemoCamps are open to everyone and are free to attend, so register to join in the Galileo celebrations!
