Do you see the difference between the following two pictures?

It was the result of the CatChaser pinning two balloons and part of one of the eight talks held at the Eclipse DemoCamp in Hamburg. A lot of interesting projects and concepts where presented. They made a video of the talks which will be available soon.

One of the intended presenters wasn’t available. They asked me to talk - as substitute - about MetamodelDoc. As I had prepared my slides for the DemoCamp in Berlin already - I agreed. The slides are - of course - available.

Update

After the event in Hamburg the event in Berlin was a success too. There are a lot of interesting projects. One of them - ObjectTeams - I will give a try. It could be described as sophisticated and object oriented AspectJ with dynamic binding (well - ehm …, the language constructs are not the same) and it integrates very nicely into the JDT environment (by replacing the JDT-core plugin :-/). An interesting feature is - you could de-/activate an aspect (it is called Team here) during the lifetime of an object and on a per object basis.

Cloning is so easy if you know what to do.
# xrandr -q
returns with a list of screens, the connected outputs and available modes. For me LVDS is the internal LCD display and VGA-0 the external output. Using this information
# xrandr --output VGA-0 --same-as LVDS
# xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto
is all I have to do to enable my secondary monitor output within linux. All the xorg.conf editing stuff is useless - xrandr just worked.

I wanted to enable xinerama but my XServer crashed when enabled…

As you may have noticed - there was no Eclipse DemoCamp campsite available in the eastern part of Germany. After some discussion - there will be a “newthinking store”-campsite in Berlin on the 19th December starting at about 18:⁰⁰.

I am currently writing an oAW-based documentation generator for Metamodels called “metamodeldoc“. Currently only Ecore based Metamodels are supported but UML is planned too. As an example I’ve generated a documentation for the Ecore Meta(meta)model which is also a model instance of it self and placed it at http://metamodeldoc.randomice.net/ecore/

At the Democamp I want to talk about some internals of metamodeldoc.
If you are interested in Metaprogramming and all the other cool stuff… just append your name to the
end of the list of Attendees (or even Presenters) at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Berlin_DemoCamp.

You will need an https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/-Account to add your self to the list. Don’t want to register? (it doesn’t hurt!) Just leave a comment and I will add you to the list.

who likes to organize an Eclipse DemoCamp in the eastern part of Germany (preferably in Berlin or Leipzig)?

Hi Enrico!

Eclipse DemoCamps are being organized locally by committers and member companies. We haven’t had any volunteers for eastern Germany yet.

Here are the guidelines for organizing a DemoCamp: http://www.eclipse.org/community/democamp/organizedemocamp.php. If there are any committers or members that would like to help, we’d be happy to support the event.

Hello,

I would like to attend to a demo camp (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_DemoCamp) but they are only located in the western part of Germany (counting four) and none is in the eastern part of Germany. Is it possible to make a fifth demo camp within Germany e.g. in Berlin or Leipzig?

You may have seen the two videos from an earlier post. I’ve found another very nice video about Folksonomy and Taxonomy.

It is the first time that I am blogging about music but you must admit that it is also very seldom to hear something like the Eternal Flame aka “God wrote in LISP” (Written by Bob Kanefsky, parodying “God Lives on Terra” and performed by Julia Ecklar) as suggested by Markus Voelter.

There are some other nice songs like one about PGP and one about the Technical Support which are also a must for “freaks”.
