| Eclipse is a great community for a wide variety of reasons. | |
| What is fundamentally driving the success of the Eclipse ecosystem are the contributors and committers of the individual | |
| Eclipse projects and their corresponding Eclipse members. | |
| To continue the success story of Eclipse it is not enough to keep the existing community happy. | |
| The future of the whole Eclipse community is linked to its ability to convince other open source projects that it is the best possible home for them too. | |
| In 2010 our company decided to host the Scout framework at the Eclipse foundation. | |
| For us this has been an excellent choice and I strongly believe that our experienced benefits can add substantial value to many other companies as well. | |
| As a sustaining member representative I will have the following main items on my agenda. | |
| First, I would like to contribute time and energy to help spread the word that Eclipse is a first class home for open source projects beyond RCP or even Java. | |
| In discussions with customers and prospects I frequently face the strong belief that Eclipse is an IDE and maybe general purpose RCP platform. | |
| This misconception of the goal and purpose of the Eclipse foundation is harmful for the future of Eclipse and needs to be corrected. | |
| Second, I would like to push for an improved user experience regarding the communication channels of the Eclipse foundation. | |
| The tools currently available to the communities and projects do not seem to match well with today's state of the art. | |
