Call for Demo Eclipse-IT 2008

Forse qualcuno sa già che il 17 e 18 Novembre il nostro Dipartimento ospiterà Eclipse-IT 2008: 3rd Italian Workshop on Eclipse Technologies.
Magari qualcuno non sa che ci sarà una sezione dedicata a plugin e applicazioni sviluppate da studenti. Se volete saperne di più leggete il Call for Demo. I lavori presentati saranno premiati con la partecipazione gratuita a tutte le attività del workshoop, cena inclusa. E’ previsto anche un premio. La scadenza per la sottomissione delle proposte di demo è il 14 ottobre.

Penelope e’ nata!

Penelope Logo

Penelope is an Aspect-based framework for enhancing Eclipse RCP applications. It leverages several 3rd party products like Equinox Aspects and Guice/Peaberry and aims to provide a way for creating component-based RCP applications using test-driven-approach.

Ma soprattutto è … Made In Collab!!! Maggiori dettagli li trovate qui. Speriamo che cresca bene 😀

Edit: E c’ha pure il logo 😛

Tagging e Trac

Chi ha seguito quest’anno il corso di Sistemi per la Collaborazione in Rete ha già avuto modo di scoprire i sistemi di collaborative tagging e Trac.
Forse però non conoscete TagsPlugin, un plugin di Trac per aggiungere liberamente metadati alle pagine wiki e ai ticket.

… Trac Hacks itself makes extensive use of tagging and is a good example of their use. Also, see http://lists.edgewall.com/archive/trac/2006-April/007646.html for an example of how Alec uses ListTagged to query tickets.
