Greetings from Maine. The DAWN team has had hundreds of citations in its two main papers since I left to work on another Eclipse RCP application (called GDA) so they did very well in the last five years in terms of impact. I left GDA to work on a another Eclipse RCP application known as "Decision Space" but when I arrived in post, that employer had decided to pivot towards cloud (mostly AWS) and so the machine learning application we developed for them was actually delivered on AWS (not serverless but Kubernetes with Spring Boot and Python workers). It did integrate with the Eclipse RCP frontend they had. One of the libraries I used was January from the Eclipse Science WG and my colleagues at Diamond Light Source, however it was too slow to use for everything I would have liked at that time. In the last two years I have been using GCP more than AWS but AWS could equally well have met our needs. For example a project which compiles genetic data into a graph running in Neo4j and deployed on GCP.
My journey in the last ten years has been Physics (and all that Diamond did) -> Geology and ML on Cloud (closed source) -> Computational Biology in and ML/AI mostly in Cloud. Which was a fortunate run to say the least. Anyway I am not sure how to contribute to Eclipse Science but it remains a great idea.
I know! I can't wait until we all get back together again. :)
I'd be very interested to hear more about what you're doing on AWS. I don't work in AWS, but I use it a lot and some of the ICE dev team members and I have been thinking for a while about how to use it better for workflows. I'm very interested in adapting our code generator to use CDK, RDS/DynamoDB, etc. out of the box via an "@AWS" annotation or something. I'd also be interested to hear more about how you are earning a little coin on SWTChart and ChemClipse. Congrats on that!
great to hear!
My team already works with AWS ... so whenever you have access to
vouchers, please let me know ;-).
I'm fine, we are working heavily on Eclipse SWTChart and ChemClipse.
Chemistry is still a niche market in the Eclipse world, but we found
a good strategy how to make money to enable maintaining SWTChart and
ChemClipse in a long term.
The virtual EclipseCon was fine, but I'm longing to see you all in
person again!
Best,
Philip

Hello fellow Science IWG Members! What's new in our
community?
For my part, I'll share that I recently started as a
Principal Engineer at Amazon working the Middle Mile org. It's
a very interesting departure from my previous jobs and really
exciting. I'm still contributing to Eclipse ICE and hope to
find time to do even more after the holidays.
What are other folks doing? Any especially noteworthy
highlights from EclipseCon?
