Yesterday I was at the first ever Ontario Linux Fest, manning the Eclipse booth together with Remy. Also hung out with a whole bunch of people from Red Hat’s Toronto office: Sami, Lillian, Ben, Andrew, Behdad, Tom and Matt. I think the conference was great. It was pretty small and intimate and didn’t feel like [...]
Tomorrow I’m going to be manning the Eclipse booth at the Ontario Linux Fest, together with Remy. That should be a good break from doing school work all the time.
There’s going to be a pretty huge turnout of Red Hat folks from Toronto , so it’s going to be fun seeing everyone again.
I’m [...]

I’ve been doing some general bug fixing of the Specfile Editor today and noticed that we had some problems with partitioning the document. We had defined 4 types of partitions for spec files:
Files (for a single %files section)
Scriptlets (i.e. %post, %prep, etc.)
Changelog
Default (for everything that is not one of the above)
What I noticed is that [...]

I’ve personally never been to it, but heard great things from those who have. So I decided to evangelize it at UofT and volunteered to become the head delegate, which means I get to (try to) herd a [...]

I’ve been asked several times how people can try out the specfile editor that Andrew and I have been working on for the past month or so. We’re not including it in the update site where our other plugins reside just yet because I don’t think it’s stable/usable enough for that, and it’s not in [...]

I’ve spent a few hours today hacking on the specfile editor after not touching it for the past week or so. Andrew’s made some great progress towards making it useful to real users, *shudder*. So I spent the afternoon implementing a simplistic ‘Create ChangeLog entry’ action. We’ll probably make this an extension to the [...]

A couple of weeks ago the guys in the Eclipse group in the office got together to try and hack together an initial version of a spec-file editor for Eclipse, and learn how to write editors for Eclipse in the process.
We spent a couple of hours on it and got it kinda working. It wasn’t [...]
Today at the end of another awesome work day as Red Hat interns, some of us sat down to crack these puzzles posted to Planet Classpath. It started out as me, Tony and Lillian. But then Andrew Cagney and Adam Jocksch also joined in. In the end I was the one to crack the last [...]
Kyu Lee, one of the new Interns we have in the Toronto Red Hat office, has been working on the ChangeLog plugin, trying to implement some new features.
He’s made great progress, and yesterday we pushed an update of eclipse-changelog 1.1.0 into both devel and the FC5 updates-testing repository. This version has a ChangeLog editor, which [...]
