EclipseCon 2008
I just got back from EclipseCon 2008. The other Higgins co-lead, Mary Ruddy, and I gave a tutorial on Higgins. And Mary gave a talk about the business side of open source. We met with Ian, Bjorn and Mike and discussed the recent release of Higgins 1.0 and how to drive adoption of Higgins and user-centric technologies like OpenID and I-Cards. Unfortunately, in flying back early I missed the keynote given this morning by Sam Ramji. Sam directs the Open Source Software Lab at Microsoft. A little birdie told me that one of the things he was going to highlight was the collaborative efforts that have between underway for years between Microsoft and Higgins and other open source projects in the user-centric ecology. I’m sure Mary will fill me in.
