<p>Eclipse is growing: projects, committers, code base, and ecosystem. Included in that growth is an ever-enlarging | |
Board of Directors. The Board has become diverse enough that Eclipse must now have multiple distinct strategies for | |
continued relevance in both the open source and commercial venues. The Board seems to be struggling to respond to this | |
reality, and there's never been a better time to get involved!</p> | |
<p>My vision for Eclipse and my role on the Board break down into two facets:</p> | |
<ul> | |
<li>Responding to Growth</li> | |
<ul> | |
<li>Focus on Technical Verticals that move beyond the Enterprise.</li> | |
<li>Recruiting companies to sponsor projects rather than\'a0 just use them.</li> | |
<li>Focus on streamlining the Development IP Due Diligence processes.</li> | |
</ul> | |
<li>Defining the Role of the Board</li> | |
<ul> | |
<li>Ensure the committer and user community needs are represented and perceived as relevant.</li> | |
<li>Facilitate discussions about the balance between doing good for the user community and doing good for commercial adopters.</li> | |
<li>Increase the role of the Board and Foundation in describing and evangelizing Eclipse-based commercial business models.</li> | |
</ul> | |
</ul> | |
