Purpose of this blog

This blog is a spin-off from my previous one concentrating on the Eclipse Data Tools Platform (DTP) project. In that blog I've mixed in discussion of open source in general with DTP posts. Based on my recent presentation at EclipseCon 2007 (The Garden & the Market), I feel it is time to separate these discussions, and hence this new blog.

So, what sorts of things will we discuss here? As an initial estimate, here's some links to posts on the Data Platform blog covering the intended topic areas:

• The Eclipse Mine
• Eclipse is Smarter than me
• The City Hall and the Forum
• The Open Source Hunt
• What motivates Eclipse?
• Fractured Eclipse?
• Thinking about open source
