Hello Eclipse members and committers,
It is hard to believe that EclipseCon 2012 and Agile ALM Connect
start in less than three weeks on March 26. We are very excited
about holding these events in a new location in Reston, Virginia
(very close to Washington, D.C.).
The technical
program this year is very strong. We have a great line-up of
expert speakers, case studies from industry, and insightful talks
from many industry analysts. EclipseCon 2012 will be a great
opportunity to learn about the new Eclipse 4 platform, domain
specific languages (DSLs), Eclipse Orion, updates on Eclipse
Modeling, and the latest on OSGi and Eclipse RT. It is another
learning bonanza.
The response we are getting to the new Agile ALM Connect
conference has been very positive. This co-located conference is
the perfect
place to learn about the tools and Agile best practices that
organizations use across the lifecycle. We have expert speakers
talking about open-source projects like Git, Gerrit, Selenium,
Sonar, Maven, Hudson, and much more. Agile ALM Connect is ideal
for technical people who want to improve the entire software
development lifecycle.
Eclipse member companies and committers can also participate in
the New
Product Showcase at EclipseCon. If you have a product or
project that was first release in 2011, this would be a great
opportunity to get feedback from the EclipseCon attendees. There
is no cost to participate but you do need to pre-register.
Finally, please don't forget the annual Eclipse Members' General
Meeting will be Monday, March 26 at 3pm in the Reston Suites B at
Hyatt Hotel, the same location as EclipseCon. Employees of member
companies and all committers are welcome to attend. A more
detailed agenda will be sent out shortly.
As you know, EclipseCon is all about networking and learning from
the entire Eclipse community. We hope you will register
today and join us again for EclipseCon 2012 in Reston.
Regards,
Ian
