[rt-pmc] EclipseCon Pannel
|
Hi everyone,
I've been racking my brain trying to put together ideas for a panel on EclipseRT. I certainly don't want to make it sound negative (because we are doing some really cool things), but I do think it should be somewhat controversial. Here is a really rough outline.
Another option (instead of a panel) would be do have a symposium. With this approach, we would find people to give talks about what they've done with RT. We could end the symposium with a panel.
<snip>
Since the creation of the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) and the adoption of Equinox and OSGi in 2004, interest in and use of Eclipse technologies in runtime scenarios has been steadily increasing. The EclipseRT project was designed to foster, promote and house these runtime efforts.
By a variety of measures EclipseRT has been a resounding success. EclipseRT projects are the backbone of many organizations, powering the world's leading web containers such as Websphere, large infrastructure projects such as Google App Engine and Yahoo’s Hadoop Cluster and even underlying the day to day activities of the astronauts on the International Space Station.
However, even with all the success, EclipseRT still suffers from an identity crisis. What classifies a project as ‘RT’? What common themes do all RT projects have? How can RT projects be more useful to the consumers? What do you expect from RT?
In this panel, EclipseRT committers will talk about what can be done to improve the state of Eclipse Runtime Technologies and better serve the Eclipse community.

Cheers,
Ian
