To accomplish these goals we are promoting the conference to both the international and the local community: In 2008 we introduced more content from the Turkish community to EclipsIST. Again at the November 2008 DemoCamp we introduced additional members from the Turkish community. The response to the increased domestic content has been great. Combining these two communities we believe we can take the next steps in growing the conference and extending ties between them. --
