ALF POC Demo Rocks

As you know I am not one to splurge the superlatives but ... today I watch an early demo of the ALF Proof of Concept code being put through it's paces it was great. I am looking forward to being able to show off the code at EclipseCon in March when the demo will be fully ready for prime time.

Now that the demo is ready to go we are holding an ALF Team Meeting, face-to-face, on February 16th and inviting all the contributors to see the code in action. We have also invited Bjorn Freeman-Benson from the Eclipse Management Organization to attend and see the project's progress to date.
