What do I love more than lolcats?

Why, EclipseCON of course.

I’ve noticed a great deal of interest lately among Eclipse bloggers about Bug Labs and BUG, particularly given our involvement with the Eclipse and OSGi communities. So with the buzz about BUG growing, especially as we begin shipping soon, I’m pleased to announce that we’ll be showing off the BUG and the Dragonfly SDK all throughout next week’s event.

Angel, Alex, and myself will be at EclipseCon 2008 between Monday and Thursday, and attending as many of activities as possible. In addition to our BUG+SV next Tuesday and speaking at the show next Wednesday, we’ll also be hosting a BUG+Hack event at EclipseCon on Tuesday and Wednesday. Bug Labs will be camping with Cloudsmith in their CloudLounge, located in the lobby of the mezzanine level of the Santa Clara Convention Center. Stop by, load up Eclipse and your OSGi bundles, and have some fun. There will be some great prizes in store (hint hint: a BUGbundle or two) for whoever makes the best BUG apps by the end of Wednesday.

On the OSGi front, there has been some interesting discussion on OSGI consoles. Looks like there should be a standard at some point soon. Have a wish-list or gripes? Might be a good time to check out the mailing list or come to a BoF (Birds of a Feather) session at the show, as I’m sure the topic will come up.

Lastly, I’ve been working on a personal project in PHP and gave the PDT project a try. Wow! The PDT team did a fantastic job. It’s simple, elegant, and “just works”. Reminds me of the profiler we had back in Eclipse 2.11. If you do any PHP development I highly recommend it.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at EclipseCON!
