     <p>The last year has gone by very quickly. It has been an honor and privilege to
     represent the committers to Eclipse Foundation's Board of Directors. During the
     course of the year, I pushed on a variety of fronts to make sure that the
     foundation is effectively serving committers and protecting their investment. I
     am active in the ongoing discussions to improve the IP Process. I have also been
     involved in defining a way to bring tasteful advertisement to eclipse.org as a
     way to improve member value and make sure that Foundation continues to be fully
     funded and is able to serve committers effectively.</p>

 	<p>When I ran for this position last year, I set some specific goals for myself.
 	While some progress has been made, a lot of work still remains. I am passionate
 	about bringing committers from different projects together and enabling them to
 	collaborate in creating a cohesive user experience rather than the silo effect
 	that is so evident in Eclipse today. There are many aspects or reasons for the
 	situation that we find ourselves in today. Some of them are social. Some of them
 	are infrastructural. It is the second one where I think the Eclipse Foundation
 	can make the biggest difference. Imagine if there was a way to easily create
 	micro-components for projects to collaborate on a feature or two. Imagine if
 	build was a service provided by the foundation (just like CVS) and every project
 	didn't have to struggle with this on their own. Some progress has been made, but
 	there is a lot more work still left to do. You can visit
 	<a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Nexus_Project">http://wiki.eclipse.org/Nexus_Project</a> to
 	get more information about one aspect of my efforts in this area.</p>
