I try to write up a summary each year I go to EclipseCon documenting what talks I went to, what I thought was interesting, etc.
After joining Red Hat in the middle of 2009, I entered the maelstrom of tooling development in the exciting, chaotic world of Red Hat and JBoss. Leaving Sybase was tough, but it was time to do something different after nearly 13 years at New Era and Sybase. But it was a shock to the system to go from the slow and steady of Sybase to the full speed ahead of Red Hat.
We had one talk for DTP this year - DTP in the Real World. I spoke about our improved RCP support in DTP and provided a plea for more community involvement. And Ruth Soliani, from the Eldorado Research Institute in Brazil, who spoke about how they used DTP in their MotoDev Development Studio product (with Motorola) to connect to a SQLite database on an Android device. Pretty darn cool stuff there and they were very kind to say nice things about the DTP team. :)
Unfortunately, with Sybase's reduction in DTP resources and a few other folks we've lost by attrition, we're suffering from a serious lack of help in the Connectivity and Enablement projects at the moment. Though Linda from Actuate helps out in Connectivity every now and then, it's pretty much just yours truly with occasional help from our friends at Codehoop. And my time these days is pretty minimal for DTP. 
We seem to peak around the time of each year's release train, which makes sense, and then drop off a bit after that.

When you run the workbench and right-click on your action in the Navigator, you should see something like this in your development workbench console view...![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_sJLSRqyIumdlDrGtC-yn_-r6qb9w7il927jDy43FxM7Yzw3EWrX9Nj1MZ_HHnro4_CkNSQsNtYYvp9xjYbgY3dLSlTJj_ckW4qBr5Z6NZAFt0AmgarmZLsXNIePWQ0jwDP2FpE6JnV_qo1xs9fGJK5=s0-d)
