EclipseCon Sponsorship - "The best $3k we ever spent"

First things first - I've been away the past couple weeks getting to know my new daughter - Annabel Janet Smith. She arrived on the 17th of November and is doing just great. She's just like her dad - easy going but not afraid to let you know when she's not happy ;-)

While I was away, we opened sponsorship for EclipseCon 2007 and already have a lot of sign ups. There are a lot of sponsor opportunities that are limited to first-come-first-serve, so you don't want to wait too long - have a look at all the options and get in touch asap!

I remember meeting some of the sponsors last year who could not believe the value they received from a $3k turn-key pod at EclipseCon 2006. Given that we run EclipseCon to break even, it's not surprise that it's one of the best values (for both sponsors and attendees) out there.

Sun Starts Hosting Eclipse Downloads

Based on the Google search results, captured by an Eclipse fan earlier today, it looks like Sun is starting to host Eclipse Downloads! I knew the day would come ;-)
