Description ianskerrett 2007-02-22 14:28:56 UTC 
To maintain a robust NetBeans platform you really need to be sending the
NetBeans Girls to EclipseCon.   A complete description of the issue and
potential resolution can be found at

I am not a girl, but I'll be attending EclipseCon this year again.
Indeed the Netbeans girls last year was a big hit.
I can bring water if needed, and I'll be talking to the NetBeans evangelists to
make sure  we can close this bug (We do care about quality and the goal is to
keep the bug number low, and the developer experience of the product *and* the
developer conferences very good).

I hope WTP 2.0 will be good enough for supporting our GlassFish Java EE 5
application server.

I discussed this issue with my manager and we can send NetBeans girls to
EclipseCon if you will cover all the expenses connected with this trip. Closing
as WONTFIX unless Eclipse's marketing decides to pay for the trip,
accommodation, meals and other related expenses.

Roman,

shouldn't this be resolved at least as "REMIND" or "LATER"? WONTFIX sounds too
much definitive. Have you tried to work with and convince Eclipse community to
provide girls from their side? I'm pretty sure we can deliver NetBeans marketing
materials from our side. What about Sun would provide Eclipse Girls for NetBeans
Day in May?
Comment 5 Roman Strobl 2007-02-23 11:08:16 UTC 
REMIND or LATER states are not recommended by issuezilla guidelines. See:

http://qa.netbeans.org/bugzilla/issue-lifecycle.html

Closing again as WONTFIX.
