Visualize your ideas with Sirius

This month, the newsletter features Sirius. This new Eclipse project is a field-proven technology that allows you to create and to represent information in a visual way.

A modeling workbench based on Sirius provides a set of graphical editors (diagrams, tables and trees) allowing you to visualize and edit models from the Eclipse environment. The ability to test the configuration instantly facilitates the quick creation of a user's business domain workbench. The articles featured in this newsletter will explain Sirius in greater detail, show you how to get started and how it can benefit you and your organization.

In the last issue, we asked what version of Eclipse you use. We're pleased to say that 68% of you use Eclipse Kepler, 22% use Juno and 6% use Indigo. To the few of you that still use Europa, Galileo and Helios, it's time to upgrade! Download Eclipse Kepler

This year, we're hosting the sixth annual Eclipse Day at the Googleplex on December 18. You don't want to miss it. Check out the program and register here.

What's your favorite thing to do when you're not working?
I spend perhaps too much time working on Eclipse, but when not doing that, I like to garden and to hang out with my friends in Berlin. When on vacation, my favorite thing is diving.
