Our goal is to ensure that developers will have the ability to build, deploy, and manage their assets using the device, location and platform best suited for the job at hand. Eclipse projects, the community, and ecosystem will all continue to invest in and grow desktop Eclipse. Full-function cloud-based developer tools delivered in the browser will emerge and revolutionize software development. There is more background in the article I wrote for the November newsletter [0] Agenda: We only have thirty minutes for this meeting, so we'll move things along as quickly as possible. * Implementation strategy * "Great Bugs" for Mars * Meeting schedule; timing of this meeting. * Who else do we need to invite?
