 			Needham, MA, USA and Ottawa, ON, Canada - February 3, 2010 - <a href="http://www.omg.org" target="blank">
 			OMG&trade;</a> and the Eclipse Foundation have issued a Call for Participation for the 2nd
 			Biannual Symposium on Eclipse Open Source Software and OMG Open Specifications to be held
 			June 23, 2010 in Minneapolis, Minn., USA. The submission deadline is February 24. For more
 			information visit <a href="http://www.omg.org/eclipse-cfp" target="blank">http://www.omg.org/eclipse-cfp</a>.
      	</p>

      	<p>
      		Eclipse is an open source community whose projects are focused on building an open development
      		platform comprised of extensible frameworks, tools and runtimes for building, deploying and
      		managing software across the lifecycle. Many Eclipse projects implement one or more OMG
      		specifications. This symposium follows two successful one-day events that Eclipse and OMG
      		jointly organized in 2008 to promote and build on the partnership between Eclipse's open
      		source software and OMG's open specifications. It will include a series of discussion
      		sessions on OMG standards and corresponding Eclipse projects, to facilitate alignment between
      		current specifications and implemented software, and identify areas where the cooperation
      		could be further improved in future.
      	</p>

      	<p>
 			Eclipse Foundation and OMG invite position papers on any of the topic areas below, or any
 			other area where an OMG specification relates to Eclipse software. The Program Committee
 			will publish all submitted position papers, and invite selected paper authors to lead
 			individual discussion sessions.
 		</p>

 		<p>
 			Topics may include (but are not limited to) the following:
 		</p>
 		<ul>
 		<li>Extensibility of specifications and/or open source implementations to support</li>
 			<ul>
 				<li>Conformant commercial implementations</li>
 				<li>New application domains</li>
 				<li>New requirements</li>
 			</ul>
 		<li>Processes for evolving specifications and/or open source implementations</li>
 		<li>Open source implementations for specifications</li>
 		<li>Standardized models or interfaces for open source implementations</li>
 		<li>Collaboration between open source implementations</li>
 		</ul>

 		<p>
 			The Program Committee particularly welcomes papers that deal with specific problems and
 			solutions that may benefit from a wider discussion than that available though Eclipse Bug
 			Reports or OMG Issue reporting.
 		</p>

 		<p>
 			Interested individuals or organizations are invited to submit a brief (up to 600 words)
 			position paper by February 24, 2010 using this web form (please select "Presentation"):
 			<a href="http://www.omg.org/abstracts" target="blank">http://www.omg.org/abstracts</a>.
 		</p>

 		<p>
 			The Program Committee will send invitations to prospective session leaders in early March
 			2010. The final symposium agenda and registration details will be available on March 17,
 			2010 and posted at: <a href="http://www.omg.org/news/meetings/tc/mn/special-events/Eclipse.htm" target="blank">
