Eclipse is embarking on a journey towards web-based development tooling with a new effort called Orion. The goal of Orion is to build developer tooling that works in the browser, at web scale. This talk will demo the current state of Orion, and explain the vision of moving software development to the web as a web experience, by enabling open tool integration through HTTP and REST, JSON, OAuth, OpenID, and others. See wiki.eclipse.org/Orion for more information about Orion.
Boris Bokowski works on Eclipse for IBM Rational in Ottawa, Canada. He leads the Platform UI project, and is active in the e4 incubator project. Boris is a member of the Eclipse Board of Directors as a committer representative. He is the proud owner of a 'knights of the lambda calculus' pin, a Prusa Mendel 3D printer, and a PhD from Freie Universität Berlin.

Simon Kaegi is a software developer working for IBM Rational at the software lab in beautiful Ottawa, Canada. He is a member of the Eclipse core team and committer on equinox (server-side, p2, and compendium) and e4 (JavaScript modularity and debug). Lately he has been thinking about Web IDEs and would love to discuss.
