+ | ====== EclipseCon '07, the Community's Party ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Why was EclipseCon '07 special? For the first time, EclipseCon was really the Eclipse community's party. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * The first EclipseCon was interesting in that the conference itself was successful. | ||
+ | * EclipseCon 2 remains the best technical conference I have ever attended and it was really the "Eclipse is Successful" party. Nearly every session blew me away. RCP became more than an acronym; it was real. | ||
+ | * Last year's EclipseCon was the first year where EclipseCon wasn't dominated by IBM. But the community hadn't really matured yet. Although it wasn't a bad conference, there were a few time slots where I walked out of two talks and then wondered where I should spend my time after that. Networking was the star last year. | ||
+ | * This year's EclpseCon, the Eclipse community came into its own. None of the sessions I attended were duds. But more importantly, I only attended a single presentation that was run by an IBM or OTI person. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In summary, the diversity and success of this community is astonishing. It seems that Eclipse always eventually succeeds when it takes something on. | ||
