Chris Aniszczyk's (zx) diatribe

I wrote an article summarizing the Eclipse Indigo release on developerWorks.

Thank you to everyone who provided project-related quotes and screenshots.

I’m looking forward to the release next week!

Want to support the eclipse.org community? Join the Indigo 500!

The money goes towards to things like:

• Providing more bandwidth for users and committers
• Purchasing additional servers to host Eclipse projects
• Sending students to EclipseCon
• Sponsoring Eclipse community events

On top of that, recent disbursements from the Friends of Eclipse fund has gone to:

• Texas A&M University Eclipse Symposium
• RAM purchase for IP Team’s scan server
• One new Mac Mini to run tests on eclipse.org
• Hardware to replace dead (and old) NFS file servers

So hopefully you know that your donation is being used for good in my opinion. If you want to take advantage of some of the funds and are part of the Eclipse community, check out the wiki for more instructions on how to apply. It would be great to see some more usage of the funds for community related activities like meetups.

Red Hat is hosting an Eclipse Indigo DemoCamp in Toronto on June 14th, 2011.

If you’re interested to present something, please put your name down on the wiki. Or if you just want to show up to enjoy some presentations and frosty beverages, you can do that too!

See you there!

Get in the Eclipse Indigo spirit with some new wallpaper!

Thanks Nathan!

The Eclipse community and the Eclipse Planning Council have spoken.

The name of the next simultaneous Eclipse release after Helios will be called Indigo.

I like it. Guess when it will be released? The end of June like the rest of the simultaneous releases.
