Re: [science-iwg] Checking in?

Triquetrum did a release in part because we have a user!  Woot! 

I have serious doubts about the long term maintainability about the Eclipse ecosystem, backward compatibility seems to not be a priority, especially in EMF.  I'm not sure this is very important, but it does mean that Triquetrum is suffering from bit rot and will eventually be retired.  No big deal, RIP.

Edward Lee has been working on Lingua-Franca, which uses XText, so I've been helping a little with that.

      Outside of Eclipse, I've been working on hardware for a facial
      detection robot called the Predator Arm for Survival Research
      Laboratories (https://srl.org).  The idea is that the robot arm
      will track a face and eventually punch at it.  Fortunately, there
      will be 3/4" of Lexan in the way.

Everyone,

How are you? It has been awhile since the group checked in and since ECE was virtual this year we were not able to get together.

I recently switched jobs and I am no longer at ORNL. So, although I'm no longer the chair of the group, I am still very interested in participating and the science projects I lead, ICE and EAVP, are still under development.

What's new with everyone else? Philip, any big news on the Chemclipse front? I saw your LinkedIn post!

Jay
