EclipseCon 07 Opportunity Knocks!

Well back again. I have been a little busy, hence the delay.

I (not so) recently attended EclipseCon 07 in Santa Clara representing IBM Data Servers. It was an interesting show. IBM had a great presence at the show: IBM's activities such as Sudoku and SUMO wrestling which were well received. EclipseCon has a focus and purpose and is definitely on a roll. Developers are obviously core to this purpose. Many vendors are looking at this as a solution for their own products. This was later re-emphasized in Ajaxworld as I found many vendors using Eclipse. I will BLOG about AjaxWorld later. Over 1300 in attendance which is a very good attendance level and the attendees started from 8:00 am and went to 8:00 pm. While I did not attend the sessions and note attendance levels, I did note the comprehensiveness of the content. While this is a great conference for Eclipse developers; EclipseCon would benefit with a business segment that would foster building fruitful partnerships as many vendors have synergies that should be leveraged. Technology and business partnership in this venue makes a lot of sense.

Opportunity Knocks….
