<p>
I just love the Eclipse community! 
</p><p>
Being part of this family for more than ten years now, I met a lot 
committers, users, contributors and adopters in person over the years. 
Serving on the board in order to help ensuring that the interests of 
committers are properly represented will be a great honor for me. 
</p><p>
I'm a strong supporter of Eclipse's openness and diversity across the 
board. I’m pragmatic and I like it when processes are implemented as 
lean as possible. Needless to say, processes are important. The Eclipse 
Development Process is one of the many great values of Eclipse. My 
vision for serving at the Eclipse Board will follow these principles. 
I’ll actively participate in ongoing as well as initiate new 
discussions on topics which aid improving the life and work of 
committers and contributors at Eclipse. 
</p><p>
For 2013 I’d like to focus on the following topics in particular:
<ul>
<li>
Improve handling of third-party libraries at Eclipse; ensure easy 
contribution and consumption for all projects (p2 and Maven).
</li><li>
Begin modernizing the Eclipse infrastructure around communication. 
Today there is NNTP and forums, Stack Overflow and GitHub; 
it’s time-consuming for committers to check every possible 
channel separately.
</li><li>
Make it easier to consume contributions from GitHub; it must be 
possible to go from a pull-request via CQ into a repo without 
creating an extra Bugzilla.
</li><li>
Be attractive to new projects which may not use OSGi, maybe 
written in a language other than Java and may require additional
licensing options too.
</li></ul>
</p><p>
It will be my pleasure to represent <strong>you</strong> - the 
committers! If you have any questions please don’t hesitate 
to get in touch with me.
</p>

Gunnar has been a member of the Eclipse Community since its beginning and 
he is a prolific contributor with many years of experience on numerous 
Eclipse projects; Gunnar leads the Technology PMC and is a member of the 
Eclipse Architecture Council and the RT PMC. He is the Eclipse.org 
webmaster's best friend and worst nightmare. Apart from Eclipse he loves 
chatting about fishing, diving and his family and other things that matters
over a good beer or a glass of dry, barrel aged red wine.
