For the twelfth year in a row there is an Eclipse conference in Germany this October – I have to admit it’s my favourite conference; friendly faces everywhere, good food, awesome keynotes, great talks, and even a band to dance to during the reception.

Again we expect more than 600 attendees in the lovely small town of Ludwigsburg, not far from Stuttgart. In order to fill three days with activities and interesting talks, we need your help. There is still a few days to get your submissions in, as the deadline is the 17th of July. So what we want you to do, is to sit down and type in a short abstract for something you would like to present. Look at the Call for Papers, to see if your idea can fit into one of the categories. Just go ahead and type away, let the program committee worry about whether or not your proposal is good enough. If your talk is selected, you will not have to pay the entrance fee and will have some leverage with your boss when discussing whether or not you can go. Oh, and you’ll get a nice speakers T-Shirt ?

See you there!
