-Eclipse member companies have the opportunity to participate in an
"Eclipse Island"
-The Eclipse Island will be centrally located in CeBIT's Open Source
Park, Hall 2
-The island can hold 4 to 7 exhibitor stands
-Eclipse will be the overall branding/signage for the area, but the
individual stands will have signage identifying each participating
member
-4 members have committed to participate so we will go ahead: Actuate,
Bredex, EclipseSource and Sopera
-There is still an opportunity for 3 (possibly more) members to
participate
