"Pour les idées que tu maquilles / Dans la tête des citoyens". Il faut quand même avoir un grand sens de l'humour pour apprendre que nous avons _juste_ 78 millions de doses de vaccins contre le grippe A en trop sur les 90 millions qui avaient été commandés à l'origine. Avec un peu de chance, l'état va arriver à annuler de façon plus que douteuse la moitié de la commande ce qui selon mes calcul ne fera plus que 28 millions de doses à brader.
Que faire de ces doses ? Ça risque de ne pas être aussi simple à brader que les invendus de la saison précédente aux soldes. Certes c'est moche, certes personne n'en a voulu mais au moins ça peut servir. Nous voila avec des hangars entiers de vaccin contre un mal qui est deja passé et qui ne reviendra (ou au pire sous une forme mutée qui rendra le vaccin actuel inutilisable).
Un échange interessant de 1 vaccin contre la grippe A contre 1 vaccin contre la stupidité pour être envisagé. Les membres de notre gouvernement ne sont pas 28 millions mais il est sûr que vu l'état très avancé de certains specimen, il faudra une bonne quantité de vaccin avant d'espérer un début de remition.
Il est triste de constater que nos dirigeants ont une capacité à anticiper de quelques secondes. Quel manque de dicernement de la part des gens qui sont sensés faire tourner le monde !
J'avoue craindre que d'ici quelques mois, ce soit le dernier groupe facebook à la mode qui initie les prochains projets de loi. Il est probable que nous n'ayons jamais été dirigés par un gouvernement aussi "fashion victime". Une truite à les yeux rouge dans un bassin d'élevage à l'autre bout du monde ? Les médias rapportent ce fait plus qu'inquiétant en boucle jours après jours ? Passons une commande préventive de 157 millions de doses de vaccins contre la conjonctivite de la truite au cas où ce fléau serait transmissible à l'homme !!
Je ne suis pas d'une nature très politisée (plus par dépît que par desintérêt) mais il y a des fois j'avoue que le contexte donne envie de sortir de la torpeur pour souligner quelques faits qui me paraissent ... aberrants ...

Back from ESE 2009
After a little break, I'm back ! :)
ESE 2009 was a very cool experience. An opportunity to meet very important people for the EEF project and to assist to very interesting presentations.
The second day, after a first key note that let me quite unconvinced, it was time for talks. I assisted to many talks about e4 and the riena project then back to modeling talks. I went to the talk about the brigde between EMF and Oslo made by the AtlanMod/INRIA team. Finally, It was the talk of Cedric for Acceleo. What an amazing room ! Cedric made a very good talk and I was glad to see the audience impressed by the new Acceleo tooling.
The final day began with an interesting talk about Papyrus and the very very huge plan for the future. I saw that papyrus is on a good way and I'm happy they use EEF for this project. Final preparations and it was time for my talk. I'm quite satisfied of it. I had some good advice of people that assisted to my "sexy" talk. I finally went to the talk of Mariot about SWTBot, what an amazing technology ! EEF have a start of support for automated tests with SWTBot and I really think that finalize this part of EEF is one of the important job of EEF in 2009.
ESE is finished and now we have to improve EEF to come next year with very new powerful features !

- First of all, EMF, CDO, EMF Databinding tutorial was very interesting. It's a shame that we hadn't the time to do all the exercices.
- In the afternoon the modeling symposium showed us some very interesting application of EMF. I found the demo of Cedric Vidal from ProxiAD especially interesting with the EMF customizer. This tools allows users to "customize" generated EMF models with a models using an Xtext syntax very close to CSS.

Ready for Eclipse Summit Europe 2009 !
It's time to finalize my trip to ludwigsburg ! My presentation is ready (most impatient can read it here), it remains for me to prepare my speech for Thursday.
I'm also eager to attend to the talks of ESE : EMF Databinding soon be a important component for EEF for example.
See you in Germany for those who will come to Eclipse Summit!

Some news about EEF project
First of all, Hello Eclipse world !
I'm proud to be included in Eclipse Planet and to join the Eclipse community. And to celebrate this, here is some news of the EEF project :)
All the EEF team has worked on adding new features and stabilizing the project. We have now an framework more simple and more extensible. For instance, all the architecture of the Acceleo generation module has been redesigned to ease the extension of the generation when we add new widgets.
This work has been done to create a new widget for EEF, the "flat reference table" which is a "slim version" of the reference table.
The "AdvancedReferenceTable"
But it's not all ! We not only work on the technical aspects of the project. We finally have our web page in the EMFT project website. And with this page, we started to work on the wiki for EEF.
The last part of the work was to integrate EEF into Athena Common Build. We have not finished yet, but we hope to achieve this very soon.

A second big part of our work was focused on the generation of tests for EEF. And we start to have nice results :) Now, it's possible to generate JUnit test cases, using the SWTBot project, that test the result of the EEF generation for a given project. A test is generated for each modelized widget. We are currently able to test Text and Checkbox. Now we have to extend this generation for all the EEF widgets !But it's not all !

Eclipse Acceleo Day - Acceleo by the team ...
After a quick meal at the restaurant of the university and many discuss about Acceleo, it was time to start the second set of talks for this Acceleo Day.
The presentations in the afternoon were mostly dedicated to describe the work of the Acceleo team. However, the first talk was a feed back of Cedric Vidal from ProxiAD that showed how he coupled Acceleo and development of dedicated tooling to really improve the JEE development and in the same time keep simplicity in the generation modules. The simplicity of the module was garantee by adding the good part of data in the model. In the same time, the editing tools for the model muse be appropriated to keep the model crea
tion easy for the users.
After the presentation of Cedric came François Gaudin from Makina Corpus which introduce the work he make for WISSS, the module that he lead in the Acceleo Module Farm. His talk describe the need and the goal of its module and he gave his point of view on the distribution of the informations between the generation module and the models.
This presentations finished, we made the second coffee break of the day.
The last part of the day was dedicated to the new version of Acceleo that we call Eclipse Acceleo. This version is the future of Acceleo so we had to introduce it during this day.
First, Cédric Brun (from Obeo) came to present the Eclipse Acceleo project, the history, the need and the goals. A description of the MTL standard and a point on the status of the project currently was made during this talk.
The last talk of the day was mine about the use of Eclipse Acceleo for the EEF project. But this, is another story that I will tell you in another post.
After my talk, Etienne gathered the people that made a presentation plus some people of the Acceleo Team. We made a general discussion about Acceleo and try to reply to question that are ofter made to the Acceleo team.
This discussion finished the First Eclipse Acceleo Day. This day was very interesting and exciting, the feedback of the community was very awesome and will hope that this event can be make the next year.
Thanks to all for this day, especially the main organizer of this event Freddy ...

Eclipse Acceleo Day - Acceleo by the users ...
The "Libre" Software Meeting (LSM/RMLL) took place last week in Nantes. The Wednesday, It was possible to assist to the first Eclipse Acceleo Day during this event.
For the first time, most of the Acceleo users where gathered to discuss about their experience and what do they expect for the next versions.
The morning was dedicated to the talk describing the use of Acceleo in industrials projects. After an introduction of the Acceleo Project (its history, its goals) by Etienne, the first talk was done by Erle Le gac from CapGemini.
He made a feedback on a software factory that he and his team built using Acceleo and Obeo Designer. He use this product to create a complete modeling/generating chain dedicated to improve the JEE development within CapGemini. He wanted to made a demonstration of this software factory but the demo effect associated with a live practical experiment of the murphy's law prevent him to finish his example.
Then it was the perfect moment for a coffee break :)
Once the quota of caffeine back to the normal. The next feedback could be done. There was Vincent Fady from Atos Origin who described the use of Acceleo in some projects of Atos and the deployement of them, Olivier Leal from Bull who explained the strategy of Bull to industrialize their development with Acceleo. Finally, Samuel Liard from the Orange Labs came to give a feedback of Orange in the use of MDA and the the way they integrate tools like Acceleo in their development process.
Thanks for his very interesting feedbacks !
This introduction and these 4 talks done, it was time to feed our starving stomachs !

Another cool meeting !
After Java Productivity tour 3 weeks ago, I could participate to the first edition of "Jeudis des modèles". Theses meeting take place in EMN Nantes every two months and deal with the Model Driven Engineering.
So, thuesday there was two presenters for this first time :
So JPL had to improve again and again its design process and with the growing complexity of this process, they came to using models since 10 years now.
The talk of Patrick describes the evolution of software design in ILog. During the ILog evolution, they realized that there was an important part of programming that didn't implies algorithmic but only business rules. Theses rules could be defined by end-users if the way to express it was enough easy.
In this approach, they decided to create a language easy to understand that allow to defines theses rules. With the years, they naturally came to use the DSL part of the MDE.
Finally, these two very interested talks described two different ways to come to using models. It was very instructive to see other uses of the MDA that the one we apply every day and I hope can participate to the next edition.
I wanted to add some pictures I took during the conference but the camera of my cell made very ugly shots and I definitively can't show you them. Perhaps it's time to ask for a cell with 10Mpxl camera ... :)
