Hello Eclipse Members –

 

I’m organizing a demo camp for eclipse at Oracle HQ on June 17^th, and have an open call for presenters.   Demo slots are 15 minutes.  Demos obviously need to be eclipse based.  Eclipse 3.5 demos are encouraged, but not required.   Whoever beats Philippe O to volunteering will get an extra slice of pizza J
