FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BZ Media Launches
Eclipse Review

First-ever print magazine in the United States for the growing Eclipse ecosystem to reach 30,000 IT professionals, software development managers

Huntington, N.Y., January 5, 2006 - BZ Media LLC today announced the launch of Eclipse Review™, the first print publication in the United States for the Eclipse community.

Eclipse is an open-source tools framework for IT professionals and software developers, and is also a vibrant, fast-growing community ecosystem led by the Eclipse Foundation. The Eclipse community is supported by such industry giants as IBM, Intel, BEA, Hewlett-Packard, SAP, Wind River, Borland, Computer Associates, Sybase and Iona. BZ Media is an Associate Member of the Eclipse Foundation.

Eclipse Review will be published quarterly in 2006. The first issue will be available on March 20, 2006, and will be distributed in print and in a PDF (portable document format) edition that's identical to the print publication. The PDF will be downloadable from the magazine's Web site, www.EclipseReview.com. Circulation of the premiere issue will be a minimum of 30,000 IT professionals, software development managers and other qualified Eclipse buyers and decision-makers.

Ted Bahr, Publisher of Eclipse Review and President of BZ Media, said, "More than 62 percent of companies surveyed in November 2005 say that they have adopted Eclipse tools and technologies, up from 53 percent in 2004. Nearly 40 percent of organizations now require or prefer that new development tools be Eclipse-based or Eclipse-compatible. The Eclipse market is booming, and Eclipse Review is the best way for IT professionals and developers to gain the technical information they need about Eclipse-based tools and technologies, and it's the best way for the Eclipse industry to reach and sell to the growing number of Eclipse professionals."

This information is from the Second Annual Eclipse Adoption Study, conducted by BZ Research, a subsidiary of BZ Media. The study was completed in November 2005.

Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director of the Eclipse Foundation, said, "We are delighted that BZ Media is launching Eclipse Review, which we are sure will be an excellent resource for the Eclipse community. BZ Media has been a steadfast supporter of Eclipse, first through its Eclipse supplements to SD Times, then with its EclipseWorld conference and EclipseSource newsletter, and now with Eclipse Review. We appreciate BZ Media's contributions to the Eclipse community."

Advertising rates for Eclipse Review begin at $3,495 for a one-time four-color page. The advertising close date for the premiere issue is February 16, and the cover focus will be "Software Testing With Eclipse." Discounts are available for combined frequency with other BZ Media publications, and for multiple insertions and 4x programs in 2006.

BZ Media also publishes SD Times, the newspaper for the software development industry, and Software Test & Performance, the only monthly magazine for software test & QA professionals. The company produces the EclipseWorld Conference (Sept. 6-8, 2006), the Software Test & Performance Conference (Nov. 7-9, 2006) and the Software Security Summit (Feb. 6-8, 2006).
