People often ask us why we have EclipseCon in Santa Clara every year.

This is the convention center in Santa Clara:

(note the fountains on the left, the palm trees, and the generally warm glow).

This is my home in Ottawa (where most Eclipse Foundation employees live):

(note the after effects of more than 4m of snow).

Does that answer the question?

    It’s a big house. I love the ambiguity in the English language… Smart arse. 🙂
