Editor's Notes
- #4 > Hire brilliant developers
- #6 University of Bologna, Application to teach Cryptography to Engineering Students Publication “Learning by doing: vLab, a virtual laboratory for Computer Engineering education” (R.Laschi, A.Riccioni, P.Suzzi) Project shared with other Universities
- #8 Koen, Lars, Tom, Kai, Matthias, Ralph, Vincenzo, Sopot, Jed, Gael, Marcel
- #9 When you contribute to an Eclipse project, you learn how to make it “really work”, So it will become an asset, that you can leverage at your work
- #10 So I started working as Software engineer and I did my open source stuffs in my free time
- #11 More learning by doing!
- #12 I was actually working with SOA in Finance and Banking, So I decided to start eclipse networking on theme. > I Used the technology to have success at Work
- #13 It went quite beyond, when I met Matthias, Scout Project Lead
- #15 Sopot Asking on forums also demonstrates skills: Analysis, synthesis Accuracy, focus Communication Teach to others
- #16 Learning Git it is not easy. If you’re a Committer and you want contributors, you should teach them the (E)git workflow for the project
- #18 I already knew how to fix my bug, I just needed to test the workflow. At Eclipse Con Europe 2013 Lars show me how to do this. His book “Contributing to the Eclipse” is a great reference on this.
- #19 This is just a nice figure for my contributions
- #20 UI for Eclipse projects
- #21 This is the project page for Platform UI. All the important references are accessible from there.
- #22 This is a list of my contributions. Some are Merged, some not. The importance is to keep focus and contribute good quality code
- #23 c/c for interesting bugs Learn from docs or bugzillas Ask on forums, read mailman Get updates, keep networking
- #24 Big project > Big Responsibilities (for end quality)
- #27 Fear to join the community? > get to an Eclipse Event Don’t you know how to contribute ? > Ask forums for a Contributor guide Want new contributors? > Be open, show them the way
