I hope that the
EclipseCon 2007
WTP track has space for coverage of sub-projects (hint hint).
It’s largely up to us (the WTP
community) –
we’re the program committee this year for topics in our area, so we
just
need to balance the “classic” WTP areas with the emerging
technologies.
My experience has been that
sub-projects need to find
opportunities to get their work out in front of the Eclipse and general
developer community themselves. Once you start doing that you get on
Ian's radar and he's more likely to tell you about opportunities.
Conferences are great opportunities for sub-projects to showcase their
work and
I hope that the EclipseCon 2007 WTP track has space for coverage of
sub-projects (hint hint).

sub-project
awareness
Tim,
I think there are
potential two or three
different audiences you are looking at, probably each requires a
different
tactic/timing. First, I am a big beliver that nothing will happen
until you get running code into cvs. Sorry I can’t keep up
with all of the projects, so I am not sure if your subprojects have
code yet?
For developers
(who I think would become
users and potential contributors), I would suggest there are a number
of things
we can do to help raise awareness. We are doing a series fo
webinars, similar to what we did with Callisto. We could try to do
one on one of these sub-projects. I am also going to do another
series of podcast with EclipseZone, so we could do something there.
For
contributor/committers/adopters, we are
looking for lightening talks for the members meeting. This would
allow you to get infront of the member representatives. We will
also have a table top exhibit during the reception , that projects are
invited
to participate.
Those are some of
the things that come to
mind. As always, I’d love to help get an article published
about one of the subprojects. If you send me an abstract I can help
pitch
it to different publications. Technical articles IMHO are the best
thing for getting awareness/adoption.
I hope this helps.

sub-project awareness
Ian,
The WTP PMC is looking
for ways to increase awareness
around our sub projects – JSF, Dali/JPA, and ATF. All of these areas
are
receiving a great deal of attention from developers, but we have not
had a
corresponding influx of community members or new committers,
particularly
outside the existing member company lines.
Any ideas for ways we
could drive awareness /
engagement at all levels – end users, product and project adoption, and
contributor/committer interest? I had thought of adding some banner
info on the
WTP website, but you may have more highly leveraged options available.
Any
ideas appreciated,
Tim
