Since I got involved in the Eclipse Community I've had several roles. Most of the time as a committer, but also as a member of the Eclipse Science Working Group and PMC; member of the Board of the Directors; and the EclipseCon Europe Program Committee. I was the EclipseCon Europe Program Committee Chair for the 2018 and 2019 conferences.</p>

	Since I first joined the board six years ago, the Foundation has gone through many important changes. We have moved the organization to Brussels and Europe. We are now Europe's largest and most important open source foundation, allowing a new category of members such as the European Space Agency to join. We have had significant growth, both in revenue, member organizations and in employees. The Eclipse Foundation has shown that it can change with the times, adopting new practices when needed.
</p>

<p>
	If reelected as a contributing member representative I would like to focus on:
</p>

<p>
	Continue to support efforts to establish the Eclipse Foundation as the premier open source foundation &mdash; based in Europe, with a global reach. 
</p>

<p>
	<b>Support Contributing Member organizations:</b> Recognize and reward these for their efforts and contributions, and provide incentives for them to continue to participate and contribute.
</p>

<p>
<b>Provide reliable and secure infrastructure:</b> Ensuring that the infrastructure provided by the Eclipse Foundation is secure and reliable, to help protect the security of developers and their work. Extending to making sure consumers can safely use our technologies.
</p>

<p>
<b>Foster a welcoming and inclusive community:</b> Promote a culture of inclusivity and diversity, and take steps to address any negative behaviors or actions within the community.
</p>

I have a background from electronics, but started at the Trondheim College of Engineering (now <a href="https://www.ntnu.edu">NTNU</a>) in 1994 to study software engineering. I have built on the Eclipse Platform since 2004, and have as a contractor and consultant helped companies use various Eclipse technologies for more than a decade. Most of this time I have spent developing industrial solutions for the semiconductor, maritime and offshore energy sectors.
</p>

<p>
I work for and are a co-owner of Itema AS, a small software consultancy with 34 highly skilled and dedicated people, all also co-owners with an equal share. We do everything from prize winning web sites to marine operations simulation tools and games for iOS and Android. We are based in Trondheim, Norway — a university city with around 37,000 students, about half of those with a STEM curriculum. Much of the work we do is for technology companies that are spin-offs from the university and SINTEF, the largest independent research organisation in Scandinavia.
