EclipseCon - day 3 (afternoon)
1) Ward Cunningham gave an interesting talk on collaboration and trust. On a different thread, he said that the first wiki he wrote was done in 400 lines of code which he then improved to 200 lines. There is/was a wiki contest to write the smallest possible version and the winner was a 5 line program in Python. I thought that was interesting.
2) A panel kind of session, with folks from several companies, answering questions about RCP.
- At the end of this session, I made fun of Jeff after he asked someone from SAS if he knew some person X. Like SAS is some 12 people company.
3) Jeff gave an interesting (though quick) demo on how to build a headless Eclipse plugin
- After the talk, Jeff made fun of me after he asked yet another person from SAS if he knew person X, and this person knew him.

SAS is a big place, but since a large percentage of the development staff work in the same building, you’d be surprised at many people you get to know. ;)
