 <p>Serving as an Sustaining Member Representative on the Board of Directors of the Eclipse Foundation for almost a year now, I
 see a number of significant challenges to the Eclipse Ecosystem.</p>

 <p>Membership: A limited number of large corporations pay most of the Eclipse budget for strategic reasons. The current
 membership model makes it hard for many (smaller) companies to justify payment of the membership fees to the Eclipse
 foundation ("why pay for something we can get for free anyway?"). In my vision for Eclipse, the membership model
 is updated to generate more immediate membership value for a large number of small and mid sized companies (committers and consumers).
 This would make the Eclispe foundation more robust against economical threats caused be large member strategy changes.
 The model for representation of members on the Board of Directors will have to be adapted in case of increased membership,
 to ensure that the board can still function well and effective.</p>

 <p>Visibility and representation: The Eclipse foundation is a well governed and efficient organization. Running the
 EMO is a full time job for the director, which leaves little time for public representation.
 Im my vision for Eclipse, the foundation will designate a dedicated evangelist whose sole responsibility is to
 publicly represent the Eclipse in the software community and beyond.</p>

 <p>JDT: In my vision for Eclipse, JDT still plays a fundamental role and will be maintained by a structured community effort.</p>

 <p>In my opinion, the board is not a place for personal image cultivation or self expression, but for steering the
 directions of community of developers who support a multi-million base of users.
 In this spirit, I'd like to represent the Sustaining Members for another term.</p>

 process control in the early days of his professional work. For a "device and algorithm for the automatic detection of
 objects" he was co-awarded a German and European patent. After many years of development and project management practice in
 Smalltalk and Java, Hans now runs the Embedded Java operations at MicroDoc.

 MicroDoc is a software consultancy and product development business founded in 1991 by Hendrik Hoefer and
 Hans Kamutzki. In the 90s, MicroDoc's focus was on object oriented programming with Smalltalk. Hans Kamutzki
 was a main contributor to a MicroDoc product called "Objects for Notes", a technical Smalltalk to Lotus Notes gateway
 that was licensed to IBM in 1995. He worked as a technical and operational liaison between MicroDoc and IBM and spent
 several months with integration work in the RTP labs in Raleigh, NC and on other lab engagements. Even before
 Java became mainstream, MicroDoc invested in this technology and provided a number of product components to
 the international market of reusable components. Among these products are Java based persistence frameworks,
 an EJB persistency container and a variety of migration and quality assurance tools as well as some contributions
 to IBM's VisualAge for Java product. MicroDoc's work with Eclipse started in 2002 with an IDE migration project for a
 large airline. Eclipse has become a universal tool within MicroDoc since then. Eclipse is used as a development platform,
 but also heavily as a runtime environment for RCP and eRCP clients and server applications. As MicroDoc is building end to
 end solutions (starting on the mainframe and scaling down to mobile and embedded devices), the Eclipse RCP/eRCP platforms are
 essential building blocks for harmonizing the architecture in many MicroDoc projects today. As a Managing Directory, Hans is in
 charge for the embedded Java business as well as legal and contractual matters within MicroDoc today.
