[corona-dev] EclipseWorld Feedaback
|
At EclipseWorld 2006, I hosted the session “Eclipse Workgroup
Collaboration”. This 90 minute
session was attended by approximately 25 people. The session focused on the use of
Eclipse projects Corona and ECF to build collaboration
solutions.
The session included a 60 minute presentation as well as a 30 minute
demonstration. The audience seemed
to be very interested in this collaboration topic. There were many questions, especially
during the demo.
The session’s presentation will be posted to Corona’s website within the
coming week. The demo that was
given is not available for download (yet!).
We had a follow-up demo with Mike Milinkovich, Eclipse Foundation
Executive Director. Initially Mike
did not have a clear understanding of what Corona was. However, after the demo he was more
aware of the project’s scope and direction.
Mike had some very good suggestions for the Corona team.
- Provide the demo as a download as soon as
possible. Do not worry about the
initial out-of-box experience.
The intended audience is the Eclipse community, which is very
technical. Post instructions on
how to use the demo on your wiki.
- Working code is key to building community
awareness.
- Post emails to other Eclipse project development
mailing lists inviting them to try the demo and provide feedback.
- Continue to use the Eclipse collaboration forums
(newsgroups, mailing lists, wiki, bugzilla) to manage the Corona
project.
- When needed, setup a virtual Corona server with the
Eclipse Foundation. Use this as
the Corona
server to host ProjectContextContainer(s).
- Be more active in promoting the Corona community. Cross post to other project’s
development mailing lists. Create
blogs. Post to JobbyLobby and The
Server Side.
- Continue to strengthen relationships with the
other collaboration projects (ALF, ECF, and Mylar). Also look into possible synergies with
Buckminster.
- Schedule meetings and invite other projects to
attend
- Publish meeting minutes to each project’s dev
mailing list
Overall the feedback Corona received from Mike as well as conference
attendees was very positive and
encouraging.
