The CDT Fall Summit will be held again this year in Ottawa at QNX headquarters
from Sept 19-21. To register, please send me, Doug Schaefer, dschaefer@xxxxxxx, an e-mail. There is no
cost to attend, lunches will be provided, and we’ll do another social
night like we did last year sponsored by the fine people at QNX.
The theme for the conference is: “Here we Grow!”,
or maybe not. I’ll have to get the QNX marketing guys to come up with
something flashy. The focus of the summit will be technical as we look at the
features we plan on adding to the CDT for CDT 4.0 and beyond to meet the needs
of our growing community. There’s lots going on in the CDT and we need to
make sure we co-ordinate activity and maintain the integrity of the
architecture.
Here is a quick agenda to get a feel for what we will be
discussing:
-
CDT Core
o
Indexing strategies (offline, remote,
EFS)
o
CModel future (can we move it to use
the DOM parser?)
-
CDT UI
o
Replacing the C/C++ Projects View
with the Common Navigator/Project Explorer
o
CDT Editor Enhancements
-
CDT Build
o
The state of the Managed Build
System (VS killer yet?)
o
The new Project Model teaching the
Core about build settings
-
CDT Debug
o
Adopting the flexibile hierarchy
o
Meeting the needs of embedded
developers
-
Multi-Language
o
How I built a C# plugin in my spare
time
o
The Photran experience
Of course, we can add more if people propose to talk about
more. Feel free to send me any ideas you have and volunteer to contribute to
any of these as well.
QNX is located at 175
Terence Matthews Cres in the city formally known
as Kanata (now a suburb of the city of Ottawa). There are a
number of hotels in Kanata,
with the Holiday Inn Select being the most popular from last year. If anyone
has suggestions or queries, please feel free to discuss on the list.
See you there, or here, I guess J.
