Equinox Summit 2007

Revision as of 22:07, 25 June 2007 by Jeff-bugs.code9.com (Talk | contribs) (Agenda)

The Eclipse Foundation and the Equinox project team are hosting an Equinox Summit in Ottawa at the Minto Suites Hotel from Sept 25-27, 2007. This event is modeled after and co-located with the very successful CDT summits

Agenda

We have two full days and there is alot of ground to cover. There will be sessions that cover the four main areas related of focused work within Equinox

  1. Framework/runtime This includes (but is not limited to): classloading, specification directions, programming models, security, ...
  2. Provisioning The provisioning team has made some very real progress but there is lots left to do.
  3. Server-side More and more people are picking this up and using Equinox on the server. We need to talk about where we are, who is using the technology and how, as well as where to go from here. OSGi Enterprise Expert Group directions, Spring/OSGi, programming models, ... all factor in here.
  4. Tooling Technically speaking the Equinox project does not do tooling but we would be lost without PDE and all the power it brings developers. It is vital that the technologies we talk about creating have a decent chance of being tooled.

So with two days and four topics it seems natural to do a half day on each area. Each session will be kicked off by a few informative (and entertaining?) presentations to seed discussion. Expect alot of discussion time and come prepared to present your point of view.

You can add items to the working agenda.

Registration

This summit is not a mini conference. Attendees will be presenting their point of views on the various themes and describe where they see themselves interacting, contributing and cooperating in Equinox and PDE. Space is limited so preference will be given to committers and new people looking to contribute. Writing a short positioning paper outlining your usecases and potential contributions really helps.

The Eclipse Foundation is kindly sponsoring the event so there is no fee for attending. Please register by sending a mail to equinoxsummit@eclipse.org.

Who's coming.
