Eclipse Foundation Updates


Callisto 
Callisto is a release of 10 Eclipse projects
at the end of June. Ian is looking to put together a quote sheet for PR
purpose of what member companies are doing with Callisto.  Please
submit quotes to Ian for approval by June 16th

Outreach for Callisto includes a series of
Webinars scheduled for June. These webcasts are project specific. In addition,
the foundation is running a series of 10 podcasts to be recorded in June
and July. These podcasts will go up at Eclipse Zone

Marketing Symposium
During the September 20-21, 2006 Member’s
Meeting in Dallas, there will also be a marketing symposium for Eclipse
Members, with the goal of open source/developer marketing education as
well as face to face meetings.

The Symposium will be a half day format.

The next step is determining the content
of the symposium. Ian would like to have guest speakers and lightening
talks that focus on issues related to marketing towards developers. Please
think about what speakers and topics the team wants to address cover. Some
suggestions during the marketing call include:

Doc Searls: Clue Train Manifesto
Kathy Sierra: Creating Passionate Users
