Attendees should be developers who understand how their products are built, configured, and used. Ideally, at least one developer and the person responsible for the vision of the product (e.g. Product Manager), although this could easily be the same person. The developer should be capable of making code and resource changes, rebuilding the product and any installation or distribution media.  At least one representative from the company should be prepared to handle key generation requests in "near" real-time.

NOTE: This site does not yet have definite information. Currently everything on this page is speculative and for planning purposes by the organizers. When dates and locations become fixed, we will make the announcements and remove this banner.

Purpose

The focus of the event is to gather companies with commercial products based on Eclipse or packages that install into Eclipse. Attendees will integrate their products and test whether they work together in harmony. The outcomes of the event, in addition to the testing, will be

  1. To create requirements for the Eclipse platform to make the task of integrating different products easier
  2. Create guidelines and best practices for future commercial adopters to follow
  3. Build a network of contacts to allow for better integration in the future, outside the boundaries of PluginFest events

Organizers

  • Eric Cloninger (Motorola) ericc@
  • Ian Skerrett (Eclipse Foundation) ian@

Date and Time

We are planning 2-3 days in the middle of the week during February. The final date will depend on the responses of the attendees and the availability of meeting space.

  • Feb 1-3
  • Feb 8-10
  • Feb 15-17
  • Feb 22-24

Location

This event will probably occur somewhere in the SF Bay area. We are looking for offered space from one of the organizers/attendees or using meeting space at a hotel. We are considering several locations outside SF Bay.

  • Sunnyvale/Mountain View area
    • Staybridge Suites (101 & 237 on Mathilda)
    • Country Inns and Suites (237 & Lawrence)
    • Motorola offices
    • Google campus
  • Burlingame/SFO airport area
    • Crowne Plaza (101 & Broadway)
  • San Jose/SJC area
  • Oakland/Alameda area
  • Outside SF Bay area
    • Belize
    • Austin, TX (Nokia or MOT)
    • Chicago (Motorola offices downtown or WIND/Downers Grove)
    • Ottawa

Because this meeting will involve lots of people working in pairs, we expect people to come and go as necessary and probably work late into the evening of the first night. We will try to find a location that will accommodate this need.

Attendees

Attendees should be developers who understand how their products are built, configured, and used. Ideally, at least one developer and the person responsible for the vision of the product (e.g. Product Manager), although this could easily be the same person. The developer should be capable of making code and resource changes, rebuilding the product and any installation or distribution media. At least one representative from the company should be prepared to handle key generation requests in "near" real-time.

Add an entry to the table below if you are interested in attending and your choice of dates.
