Re: [pdt-dev] Getting involved in PDT

["William Candillon" <wcandillon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Gregor,

It was really nice to meet you yesterday at Google.
Here you can find a list of projects extending PDT:
http://www.eclipse.org/pdt/whois.php
There is also the slides from Roy Ganor at Eclipsecon:
http://www.eclipsecon.org/2008/index.php?page=sub/&id=17.

Best regards,

William
