| [ide-dev] 25 years of the Eclipse IDE: we need your stories and ideas |
Hi everyone,
This November marks the 25th anniversary of the Eclipse IDE, SDK and Platform.
We would like to use this opportunity to tell some of the story behind these 25 years, not only the technology itself, but also the projects, products, technical milestones, people and organisations that have shaped this ecosystem.
For that, we need your help.
We are aiming to collect at least 25 community stories, and contributions do not need to be polished or complete. Personal memories, technical milestones, products built on Eclipse, old screenshots or material, short testimonials, anecdotes, or simply ideas and pointers to people or stories we should follow up on are all very welcome.
Please add anything that comes to mind directly to the GitLab issue (or reply here):
https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/helpdesk/-/work_items/7813
The target date is 16 October, so we have time to turn these contributions into material for the anniversary in November.
Many of you have been part of this ecosystem for a long time, so your perspective can really help us capture pieces of its history that might otherwise be missed...
Thanks for your help!
Thomas
