Evidently, the most popular session at EclipseCon 2008 was the keynote delivered by Dan Lyons, a.k.a. “Fake Steve Jobs”. In case you missed it, Ed provided a nice summary of the session (which I witnessed him write in real time because we happened to be sitting together) on his blog. Speaking of Ed, I’ve been wondering for a couple of weeks now where the real one was on Thursday at EclipseCon. I mean, there was a guy who bore a striking resemblance to Ed, blogging furiously, at the Eclipse/OMG symposium that day, but I never would have expected the real Ed to sit through nearly four hours of discussion about the OMG! Maybe times really are changing...
I personally think the symposium was a success. Admittedly, we didn’t have nearly enough time to discuss the issues that were raised (which, in my mind, is better than having no discussion at all), and the participants might have felt a greater sense of purpose had there been an “official” OMG representative in attendance (the fact that the OMG Technical Meeting took place in Washington the week just before EclipseCon made this infeasible)… but I think the level of participation and the quality of the presentations were a testament to the fact that people are indeed committed to a future that involves more collaboration between Eclipse and the OMG. Of course, this was just the first of two symposia being jointly hosted the two organizations – the second one is scheduled to take place at the OMG Technical Meeting in my home city on Wednesday, June 25. I heard a rumor that there might also be an Eclipse DemoCamp that same week, so there will be more than one reason to join the party in Ottawa. Hopefully I’ll see you there (here)!

Hey, thanks for telling us about it! The agenda looks really interesting, so much that I just registered (and I am not really near Ottawa).
About the Democamp rumours: anything we can do to help them become true? I would be really keen on presenting, but would be happy to be just part of the audience.
Cheers.
Glad to hear that you'll be able to join us at the symposium! The DemoCamp rumor is in fact true - watch for an announcement later this week.
Hi,
sry but I can't see any other way to contact you then writing this comment. Since I'm not a member of Eclipse Foundation, I was not able to find a mail adress of you.
I'm searching for sth like what you described here: MDT-OCLTools. But I don't find it. I installed the MDT OCL Plugin, but there is nothing like an OCL->Java Compiler included.
It would be awesome if you could give me a hint how to do it!
Regards,
Hannes Nützmann (Berlin, Germany)
Maybe I should post my adress for a respond ;)

The initial contribution for the OCL Tools component is being reworked to address some issues that were found during its IP review. Inquiries can be made on the eclipse.modeling.mdt newsgroup, mdt-ocltools.dev@eclipse.org mailing list, or by contacting Miguel Garcia (the component lead) directly at miguel.garcia@tuhh.de.
Rafael, the Ottawa DemoCamp has been announced.
Yeah, I have been 'registered' since I saw the announcement on the Eclipse News feed this Monday. Thanks.
