Eclipse Callisto M5 and the Callisto Great Bugs Contest

The Callisto team have announced the first Callisto milestone: M5 and are inviting the brave early adopters in the community to install it and help us find the worst problems. The goal of the Callisto Simultaneous Release is to release ten major Eclipse projects at the same time. The goal is to support the needs of the ecosystem members who integrate Eclipse frameworks into their own software and products. While those product producers naturally accept the ultimate responsibility for their customers' experiences, Callisto's goal is to eliminate uncertainity about project version numbers, and thus to allow ecosystem members to start their own integration, cross-project, and cross-product testing efforts earlier.

Callisto is about improving the productivity of the developers working on top of Eclipse frameworks by providing a more transparent and predictable development cycle; Callisto is about developers helping developers serve the whole Eclipse community.

The Foundation has put together a Callisto bug finding contest to entice you to help them find those cross-project problems that this Callisto simultaneous release is going to surface. Prizes range from cool T-shirts, to iPods, to an Eclipse-branded mountain bike. Read the details, then install Callisto and go for it.
