2º MoskittDay/EclipseDay

Hi Everybody,

Long time has passed since my last blog's entry (I know I was not able to keep my monthly entry frequency >.< ). However, I have decided to take these reports again. I'll try to make short entries so that keeping an acceptable rate of publications doesn't turn into a tedious task.

This time I want to mention the great conference I had last week in Valencia. The 2º MoskittDay/EclipseDay was a pleasant event to meet old friends and new one who I have been mailing since several months ago. Moskitt is an open source project sponsored by the Conselleria de Infraestructuras y transportes which tries to build a model-driven tool to aid the development of software applications.

Finally on Board

And it's done: "Welcome to Committer status on the Eclipse modeling.mdt.ocl project". Here,you can check that it's not fake (I don't know how many times Waratah my have checked that page during the last months ;P). We have to correct the project summary page, but at least I can proudly say that I'm finally an Eclipse's committer !!!!. Now, it's time to work. Galileo has finally released, and the OCL team has a lot of work for the next release: Helios. I think that we will enjoy.

Efforts are finally rewarded

Satisfying times are coming to my current proffesional situation. Just, take a look to the following note received by e-mail: "Adolfo Sanchez-Barbudo Herrera, This automatically message is to notify you that you have been nominated as a Committer on the OCL component of the modeling.mdt project...". Uou, fantastic !!!... I'll have the opportunity of being part of the team which will mantain and evolve one project in Eclipse, in this case concerning the modeling world :D.



MDT-OCL, is a subproject in Eclipse oriented to provide an implementation of the OMG's standard Object Constraint Language (OCL). This kind of languages (for constraining models) are a cornerstone in the modeling world, because they are required to have a well defined model which is able to describe a complex system.

Models are everywhere

April is finishing so I have had to rush to my month's entry. Yeah, I would have liked to write more frequently but there are a lot of things to do and there is not to much avaiable time for them. Anyway, I like to keep my promises, so I have had to sacrifice some entertainments for this week end, such as the traditional Romeria de Tegueste. I hope to finally go the next year ;)


I would like to talk a little bit about models, mainly, because it's the world in which I'm completely immersed in my daily job. I have said (unconsciously?) some times that models are everywhere, actually, this blog's title announce that models are the key. I'll try to explain that, or at least, give my point of view about why models are so important in our world.

Carnivals have finished

My first blog entry will talk about a popular festival celebrated in Santa Cruz de Tenerife last week: Carnivals !!!. In my honest opinion, the best popular festival I have ever taken part in. In Spain, I have even been in the famous "San Fermines".

However, I think you can enjoy more here in Tenerife. The environment is ideal to meet a lot of people, to enjoy with their costumes, and to dance all the night in the street until the next morning (even the afternoon if you have enough power).

Starting to Blog

Hi everybody.

Finally, I've decided to start writing a little bit in a blog. It has not been an easy decision, due to I hardly have free time to invest in this kind of things. However, I promise that, at least, I'll try to write as frequently as I'm able to.
Another important question has been the thematica of the entries about this blog is related to. The main reason of coming in this world is my main job: I believe that it is good way of making yourself be known, specially if you write interesting and productive entries for the community.
