I can't believe I did not blog this all ready but Alan and I had an amazing conversation with Philippe Ombredanne (of Eclipse open source fame) Wednesday night about how we may be able to help each other in our respective projects. It was difficult due to the fact that he is three hours behind us but the conversation was well worth not getting sleep for a day. The guy is super smart and knows aheckuvalot about open source projects and the community. I guess they are trying to accomplish the same thing we are with Eclipse. It is really too bad that the support for C# in Eclipse is so primitive or I could definitely see supporting it. Eclipse is a great IDE and the only one I ever used that actually made me productive when using Java. Maybe the support for C# will get better over time. However, we can't forget the VB.NET folks.
