Activities
Dear Eclipse Members
EclipseCon
is a great opportunity to gain press and analyst exposure for your Eclipse
related products and services. Once again this year, we are
expecting a number of editors, journalist and analyst to attend the
conference.
To help our members gain more
exposure for their EclipseCon announcements, we have put together a number of
press related programs.
1) Attached is the current press and
analyst attendee list. We expect to send out an updated list closer to the
conference. Please feel free to forward this list to your pr team.
2) There will be a press room and
press interview room at EclipseCon. All member companies are invited
to leave press kits in the press room starting Tuesday, March 18. The
press interview room is a private room that can be booked to hold press
interviews. You are invited to pre-book this room by sending an e-mail to
Jasmine Teer (jasmine@xxxxxxxxxxxxx). Bookings will be taken on a first come
first serve basis. Each organization can pre-book up to four 30-minute
time slots.
3) The Eclipse Foundation plans to
issue a ‘Community Press Release.’ This press release will
provide a summary of all the different announcements member companies plan to
make at EclipseCon. The intention is to provide more exposure to the
individual member press releases. If your organization would like
to be included in the Community Press Release , please send a 50 word summary
of your announcement, and a link to the actual announcement on your
organization’s web site, to Jasmine Teer (jasmine@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) by March
12.
4) The Eclipse Foundation is always
willing to provide press quotes for member organizations’
announcements. If you would like a quote from Mike Milinkovich, please
send a draft of the quote and draft press release to Jasmine Teer
(jasmine@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) before March 10. We will do our best to provide
approvals within 48 hours.
If you have any questions about
these programs, please feel free to contact myself or Jasmine. I
look forward to seeing everyone at EclipseCon 2008!
Ian
