Eclipse Papercuts

Yesterday we had the Eclipse Democamp Mannheim organized by the JUG Mannheim.

Despite having a temperature of more then 30 Celsius approx. 60 people showed up and enjoyed the talks about RAP, EGit, Eclipse Memory Analyser, redView, UML Lab, Eclipse e4 and Usus (a code checker tool). We also had several visitors which traveled quite a bit (for example from Dortmund, Saarbruecken and Kassel) to join the event.

Here a very photos about the event.

The room was packed.

Benjamin Muskalla about the news in Eclipse 3.6 RAP.

Jens Baumgart demonstrating EGit.

Markus Kohler showing Eclipse MAT:

Ekkehard Gentz delivering an overview of redView:

Manuel Bork with the UML Labs tools.

Nicole Rauch and Marc Philipp presenting their code checker tool USUS.

I demonstrated Eclipse e4 but have no photos to prove that.

Many thanks to the presenters Benjamin Muskalla, Jens Baumgart, Markus Kohler, Ekkehard Gentz, Manuel Bork and Nicole Rauch and Marc Philipp and to everyone who joined the event.

In case you joined the event, please leave a comment letting us know what you think about the first JUG Mannheim Eclipse Democamp.

My slides from Eclipse Democamp Bay Area
about “Eclipse, the web and OpenSocial Gadgets” are available online. I tried to be coding heavy, so there are only a few slides.

Eclipse, the web and OpenSocial Gadgets

It was a fun event. I had the chance to talk to Mike Milinkovich and to plenty of Eclipse / Java hackers.

Thanks to everybody for attending and Ashvin Radiya for organizing the event.

A Eclipse Demo camp is coming to the Bay Area on Dec 2, Wed, 5-9pm in the Cisco building, 510 McCarthy Blvd, Milpitas, CA 95035

The current program looks like the following:

• Michael Enescu (Cisco Open Source CTO) – Introduction
• Srikanth Ranganamyna (Cisco) – CDT in Cisco, Scalability & Enhancements
• Eric Dillon (Cisco) – Tigerstripe, modeling and code generation for network management
• Joep Rottinghuis (eBay) & Parag Raval(AvantSoft) – A peek into the Eclipse tools workshop at eBay
• Dima Rekesh (IBM) – IBM Cloud for Smart Business Development
• Google – Topic coming soon
• Greg Stachnick (Oracle) – New Web Development tools in Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse: A preview of Helios

I will also present the work of Boris Bokowski and Benjamin Cabé around the OpenSocial Gadgets in Eclipse E4.

Currently only few people have signed up (including the Executive Director of the Eclipse Foundation Mike Milinkovich ).

While the program seems a little big company heavy I hope that this is a good oppertunity to meet, chat and to learn about exciting technologies. Hope to meet your their.

Sign up at Eclipse Demo Camp Bay Area. I believe they also still accepting presenters.
