EclipseCon Twitter Monitor

No need to try to see those tweets on your small screen... we have the EclipseCon Twitter Monitor in the Registration area. All EclipseCon, all the time, according to Twitter. Thanks to Sun Microsystems for sponsoring the EclipseCon Twitter Monitor.

EclipseCon Exercise

A great way to get to know your fellow attendees! Continuing a conference tradition started with JAX Jogging and introduced at EclipseCon 2008, EclipseCon Exercise consists of organized outdoor runs or walks on nearby paved trails following the Guadalupe River (here's the route information). Please register (see below) and organizer Darin Swanson will help get your EclipseCon days off to an running start so you will be better able to enjoy the caloric extravagance of EclipseCon... all levels of running or coding ability welcome! To sign up, select EclipseCon Exercise as an Add-On activity when you register for the conference. If you have already registered, return to the Registration page, click on the blue "Register" button, and select the "Access My Registration" link to edit your record and add the activity. Questions? Email Darin. EclipseCon Exercise is also on Facebook.
