        <p>
            My experience with the Eclipse IDE extends back to my university studies in computer science. I started working with version 2.x of the IDE in a start-up called aquintos to build the software tool PREEvision. After the integration of <i>aquintos</i> into the Vector group, Vector Informatik became a member of the Eclipse Foundation. It is with great joy that I contribute to the Eclipse IDE Working Group as a Strategic Member Representative of Vector.
        </p>
        <p>
            Over the years, I have participated in various Eclipse Cons and Eclipse Demo Camps and followed the evolution of the Eclipse IDE and the Eclipse Foundation firsthand. Now, I would like to increase my contribution as a member of the Eclipse Board of Directors.

                My vision for the Eclipse Foundation is to support the further growth of the organization so that it may continue to promote opportunities for open-source collaboration. Three areas of focus for me are:
            </p>
            <b aria-role="heading">Strengthening the Open-Source Concept</b>
            <p>    
                I would like to expand the open-source mindset in companies by highlighting the benefits of  open-source membership and joint work for mutually beneficial goals. It is important to highlight the distinctive work atmosphere found in an open-source environment.
            </p>		      		
            <b aria-role="heading">Intensify Working Group Collaboration</b>
            <p>
                Given the large number of working groups in the Eclipse Foundation, it is crucial to actively build bridges by creating practical and natural opportunities for collaboration. This will magnify our efforts and improve the already significant value the Eclipse Foundation brings to its member companies. 
            </p>
            <b aria-role="heading">Establish Eclipse IDE as a vital part of the Eclipse Foundation</b>
            <p>
                The Eclipse IDE, as the namesake and core of the Eclipse Foundation, has much to offer. The benefits should clearly be emphasized to secure the future of a vendor neutral IDE.
            </p>
            <p>
                I would like to help Eclipse grow and further develop with a particular focus on the UI and the performance of the platform. This needs further funding and contributions, both of which I want to support. 
            </p>
            <p>
                I would be very happy to serve on your behalf!
                <br />
                Thank you!
            </p>
