It was almost exactly 10 months ago that I blogged about leaving IBM. A lot has happened since. Perhaps the coolest work-related thing is the announcement that came out this morning here at the Eclipse Summit Europe. Today we announced that Code 9 and Innoopract have created EclipseSource. The idea of EclipseSource is to really get behind the Eclipse runtime vision and push Equinox, RAP, RCP, e4, ECF, … to new levels of consumability — both at the technical level and the pragmatic business level.

Jochen Krause (Innoopract CEO) and I will lead this new team. We share the vision of a commercially backed, highly modular runtime platform. Technology for which businesses know they can get support, technology enhancements and extensions, and industrial-strength management infrastructure. That technology is Equinox, the runtime elements of Eclipse, in concert with product offerings that will be announced in the near future.
