Foundation, and how people use Eclipse. The complete survey results are
now available at http://cdn.idc.com/downloads/EclipseCommunitSurveyResults%5BNotesPages%5D.pdf,

JavaOne, where conference attendees have to gather stamps from Eclipse member
company booths in order to collect a t-shirt from Eclipse. We will look at
expanding to an Eclipse Pavilion where member companies would have a pedestal within
a coordinated Eclipse Pavilion area. We will have to check with the
JavaOne organizers to see if this is possible and whether the cost is feasible. Opportunities 1) Submit a proposal for a technical session or BOF by Nov.
