Looking at finalists of the individual awards finalists it looks like Europe rules (9 finalists, 7 from europe, 2 canada – I counted Boris for Canada).

I’m delighted to be part of the final nominies once more [see 2009 1,2] and thank anyone who voted for me. It is really a big honor to be part of the final nominees given that I’m a sparetime committer (well if I’d really count the hours I spend e.g. on e4 it could be compared to a half-day job).

BTW if there are people arriving already Friday for EclipseCon 2011 and search for a taxi share to get to Santa Clara there’s a wiki page to coordinate the arrivals.

Anyways if you happen to be at EclipseCon I’d like to invite you to the sessions I’m going to present together with great people:

• Developing Rich Clients with Eclipse 4.x RCP
• Singlesourcing for Eclipse 4.x and Eclipse 3.x

I think both of those session will provide interesting topics to you and even if you’ve not considered the Eclipse 4.0 development relevant to your daily work I’d like to invite you to my talk Singlesourcing for Eclipse 4.x and Eclipse 3.x who might change your mind.
