It has been 5 years since IBM first released Eclipse as an open source
project. We think the success of Eclipse and the growth of the community
over these five years is a great reason to celebrate.
An electronic birthday card has been setup to allow individuals in the
community to show their support for Eclipse. Please feel free to sign the
card and invite your colleagues to do the same. Individuals signing the
card before December 1, 2006 will qualify for a random draw to win one of
20 Eclipse sweaters. http://birthday.eclipse.org/images/map.php?individual
An Eclipse Product Wall of Fame has also been established to showcase all
of the Eclipse based products that have been built over the years. We
would like to invite all individuals and organizations to add their
Eclipse based products to the Wall.

Finally, 29 local birthday parties have been organized around the world.
These parties will be a great opportunity for people in the Eclipse
community to meet in an informal setting. We invite you and your
colleagues to attend. Please RSVP to the specific party, so the local
organizer has an idea of the number of attendees.
