Big Blue's Ottawa bet

I found this in today's Ottawa Citizen. Despite some inaccuracies, it's an interesting read about IBM's presence in Ottawa, Eclipse and other stuff.

"Mr. White said IBM has recognized nine Canadian software developers as distinguished engineers. Four are in Ottawa: Greg Adams, John Duimovich, Bran Selic and Dave Thomson.

A key project is the Eclipse open-source software, a new tool developed in Ottawa and now widely used by IBM, its collaborators and competitors. For more than a generation, IBM has been working on alternative open-source forms of software to fight Microsoft. It is a key supporter of open-source software such as the Linux operating system."
