+ <p>
+ Dani Megert, who passed away recently, had been my colleague at Object Technology Intl. 20 years ago when we set out to revolutionize the IDE market.
+ The election to replace him as a committer representative on the board of the Eclipse foundation got me thinking that I might well have what it takes
+ to serve in that function.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Having been around since the beginning, I understand the ins and outs of Open Source licensing and governance. I know many of the people
+ involved with the foundation, including former board members who I'm sure would be willing to help me navigate the politics of the
+ Eclipse board. But I haven't been involved in Eclipse Foundation administration directly. This means I owe no-one any favours and I have no axes to grind.
+ I work for Red Hat/IBM and I would probably best represent the committers that work for a large corporation, but as they like to say in Twitter bios:
+ "My opinions are my own, not my employers". Ask anyone who knows me.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The Eclipse Foundation has traditionally been a place for businesses to cooperate more than individual contributors. That is OK. But there are areas
+ where the priorities of the individual contributors are not necessarily the same as those of organisations.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ We want our individual contributions to be recognized. When I'm in a job interview I want to be able to point to my contributions to an Eclipse project and say:
+ "Look! I did that". When I contribute great value to a project, I expect my role and influence in that project to grow accordingly.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ We want to write software, not CQs. As a contributor I would want the Eclipse Foundation to make it as simple as possible to run a project, while maintaining
+ the secret "business-friendly" sauce. Recent improvements in tooling allowing projects to self-certify their license compliance are a good step in the direction
+ I am talking about here.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ As software is eating the world, we are the snout of that particular crocodile. Our work might end up in a pacemaker, it might guide a missile into its target,
+ or it might determine the outcome of an election. Corporations cannot be morally responsible. We as individuals shoulder the moral credit and the blame.
+ Because the structures and rules we give our software development organisation will shape what they will create, we as the creators or that software
+ are entitled to having a voice in making those rules and structures. I am aware this is a difficult topic and don't expect any ready-made recipes
+ from me, but I believe it's something we as an industry need to address.
+ </p>
+
+
+
+ <p>
+ Who I am:
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <p>
+ I've known the EF since the start, know many of the senior players. I have people I can rely on to help me navigate the board politics.
+ I am not beholden with anyone. I don't have an axe to grind or an agenda beyond pursuing the interests of the committers. Like in a twitter bio,
+ my opinions are my own, not my employers.
+ <p>
+ <p>
+ I am actually an active committer on multiple Eclipse projects, not a manager or "head of" or sth. I write code every day.
+ <p>
+ <p>
+ Why I run:
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ When Dani Megert died, I started thinking about the Committer Representative and decided I have unique assets to bring to that table.
+ </p>
+ => listening first!
+
+ My Story
+ My Topics
+
+
+ Organisations are more evil than the people they are made up of
+ Software is eating the world: we as individuals want to make the world a good place.
+ International, unfettered cooperation.
+
+ We want to be recognized for our contributions, beyond employment at a particular megacorp
+
+ We are interested in contributing easily.
+ => easy, automated processes
+ => maximum freedom while keeping the Eclipse secret sauce
+
+ The EF has always been biased towards businesses cooperating, not individuals. It's easy for a business to consume EPL stuff because of the tight
+ IP policy
+
+ Why you should vote for me

+ <p>
+ I am one of the IBM engineers that created the Eclipse IDE before the Eclipse foundation even existed. At IBM's Object Technology Intl.
+ subsidiary, I also contributed to what is the Eclipse Open J9 Java VM today. After having spent some years working in more business-oriented settings
+ and an ill-fated online file storage startup, I am now a principal software engineer at Red Hat and an active committer to the Eclipse Theia
+ and Eclipse Che online IDE projects.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Away from work, I enjoy playing golf, ice hockey and tennis. In summer, you'll find me hiking in the mountains. I tinker with software synthesizers
+ in my home studio and I cook a pretty good aloo gobi.
+ I live in Switzerland.

+ <p>
+ I have been the IBM alternate for the Eclipse Board of Directors for the past several months.
+ While participating in these meetings, I have noticed a lack of technical diversity on the Board.
+ Although the Board is very well represented by several areas across the Eclipse Foundation, the Enterprise Java space is lacking sufficient representation --
+ especially with Enterprise Java now having the largest set of committers.
+ With my broad background and experience on the Jakarta EE and MicroProfile Working Groups and Projects at Eclipse, I believe that I can fill that void and well represent Enterprise Java on the Board.

+ <p>
+ Participating on the JCA (J2EE Connector Architecture) expert group back in 2001 timeframe was my first experience with Enterprise Java.
+ My first experience with open-source development was with OpenJPA at the Apache Foundation in 2006.
+ From these early experiences grew my association and appreciation of true open-source development.
+</p>
+ <p>
+ Over the years, I continued to explore new areas of Enterprise Java, eventually becoming IBM's representative on the Java EE Platform specification.
+ As Java EE started to quiet down, the need for continued innovation in the Enterprise Java space was very evident.
+ And, from that void grew MicroProfile.
+ After much investigation and consideration, the Eclipse Foundation was chosen as the landing spot for this new MicroProfile project.
+ And, as Oracle was looking to contribute Java EE to an open-source environment, the Eclipse Foundation became a logical choice.
+ I was involved with the initial creation of both of these efforts at Eclipse.
+</p>
+ <p>
+ As the affiliation section outlines, I am still very involved with both of the Jakarta EE and MicroProfile Working Groups and I look forward to helping them both succeed.
