Tasktop

Mik Kersten, Tasktop CEO and creator of the Eclipse Mylyn project, will be presenting at JAX 2010 in Mainz, Germany this week. Mik’s talks will cover new features in the latest Mylyn release and discuss the impact of Twitter and other forms of social collaboration on software development. Steffen Pingel, Senior Software Developer at Tasktop and Mylyn Committer, will deliver a talk on his experiences with bringing a Firefox-style install experience to the Eclipse platform. Here is the complete list of Tasktop and Mylyn related sessions.

		From Tasks to Tweets: Social Collaboration for Software Developers Mik Kersten, Wednesday, 4:15pm Developers are increasingly relying on social technologies to get work done. Some worry that constant real-time communication will bring productivity to a halt. But new technologies and practices are forming in order to help organizations harness social collaboration as part of an Agile process and integrated tool set. This talk will demonstrate how we can use the latest social tools alongside established ALM technologies to promote productivity instead of procrastination.
		Mylyn 3.4: from Stack Trace to Scrum Mik Kersten, Wednesday, 10:15am The rapid adoption of Mylyn has made next big evolution of the IDE clear. Stories and tasks are more central than sourcecode, focus is more important than features, and integration with the Agile workflow is the biggest productivity boost since code completion. This talk will review how new features in the latest Mylyn release and new integrations can make the entire Agile team more productive.
		Bringing easy Extension Install to your RCP Applications Steffen Pingel, Tuesday, 4:45pm Eclipse P2 is a powerful tool for managing plug-ins but lacks a UI that matches the ease of use of the Firefox extension installer which has helped to perpetuate the browsers success. To bring the Firefox install experience to RCP applications and Eclipse-based tools the Mylyn project has developed a reusable component on top of P2 that provides a simplified installer.
