Well, it seems my turn as come to start blogging on what I am working on. Actually, I am an Eclipse Modeling Software Developer and as I joined Obeo company at the end of last year, I entered the world of free software development. So, yes (I am sorry for the non-java-modeling geeks ) it will be yet another blog on Eclipse, Modeling… and other stuff I will encounter in my day to day work. Ok, now as the presentations are done, why beginning to blog now? Because after some months, my first contributions to OSS are available! At the moment, I am contributing mainly to two projects : UML Designer – a UML modeler developed using Obeo Designer available woth EPL license on github. MARTE Designer – a MARTE modeler also developed using Obeo Designer available on Eclipse Market Place. More on my contributions in next posts....

Last week was the Eclipse Con 2012, co-located with the Agile ALM Connect conference. I gave a talk about Intent, focusing on what Intent could bring to Agile practices. In a nutshell, Intent provides your documents with the ability to react to changes (in design or in code), turning them into true Agile Documents. You will also be able to capitalize on your work by defining high-level constraints on your projects that will be available in the future. You can get the whole transcript of the talk just by clicking here. The talk was a success, and a lot of people came afterward to talk about Intent and propose contributions or ideas. Please feel free to continue the discussion on the Intent forum, I’ll be glad to answer to any question, technical or not, and discuss about what could be done better. I got really good feedbacks on the EclipseCon website, 19 +1 for 2 +0 and no negative feedback. I can’t resist to show you my 5 favorites:  And if you feel lazy, just take a look...

If you are in Washington for EclipseCon 2012, don't miss the "hot new product showcase".It will start Wednesday, at 17:50.You will see plenty of demos of new exciting technologies created with Eclipse projects.Last year, I really enjoy it because:it's very easy to speak with the guys who created these products, you are not stress because of the beginning of a talkyou can see products, while talks are main focus on technologiesthe vibes is good, as there is a reception at the same place This year, I'm proud to present there our DSL workbench: Obeo Designer.One of our challenge we would like to do with our visitors: create in live, with only several minutes, a nice looking graphical designer customized with the visitor's choices.To explain its features in a funny way, I made this original presentation:Lien d'origineAuteur d'origine: Etienne Juliot...

There is just not enough time and many other interesting things to cover in such a short event but feel free to come and talk to us during the conference.
