The Eclipse Foundation strongly believes that facilitating networking and face-to-face interactions is key to fostering the Eclipse community. One way to advance this initiative is through regional Eclipse Days. An Eclipse Day is an event that may be focused on a particular geographic region or a particular industry. The Foundation can offer sponsorship money to approved events, however please note that there is a limited budget so funds will be awarded on a "first come, first served" basis.
Note that Eclipse Days are different from the DemoCamp program the Eclipse Foundation runs periodically. DemoCamps are considerably more informal with flexible agendas, that typically last 2 or 3 hours. Eclipse Days have set, published agendas and last a full day.
