Eclipse demo Camp Guelph

Sonatype is hosting a Maven Meetup and an Eclipse DemoCamp in Guelph, Ontario, and members of IBM, Sonatype and RIM will be a part of the presentation and demo lineups.

So far, the DemoCamp presentations will cover topics such as API Tooling, Eclipse Integration, Tycho, and e4-based applications.

Excited to hear about all this, register online at http://guestlistapp.com/events/21909 since seated is limited.

Finally we are also looking for two additional 15 min demonstrations, so please add your demo title here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_DemoCamps_Helios_2010/Guelph

p2 API presentation posted

The slides of my EclipseCon talk on the p2 API are now available on slideshare: http://www.slideshare.net/PascalRapicault/discovering-the-p2-api

Enjoy!

More p2 stuffs

Given yesterday's very busy p2 BOF, I have decided to organize another one tonight at 8:15 PM so we could continue the conversations we had started and even more.

Old colleagues vs new colleagues

I'll let you guess which one I'm working for :)

Btw, the "I love p2" shirts will be available at the Sonatype booth and at my talk this afternoon.

Moving on

At the end of the week I will be leaving IBM / OTI. I have truly been honored to be part of the Eclipse Platform team and through this experience redefine the IDE, deliver RCP, shape up Java componentry and perform many other stunts. It has been 7 fantastic years.

As hard as it is to leave, I'm very excited about the opportunity to join Sonatype [1] because they have an exciting portfolio of products [2] and a commitment to open source (Maven, m2eclipse, ...). Therefore I will continue to be heavily involved in the Eclipse community and provide leadership for the p2 project. I look forward to being a part of the Eclipse team from a new perspective and have no doubt that I will run into other members of the Eclipse team in the future.
