| My personal involvement in open source software development has really lifted off | |
| just one and a half years ago when I was part of a small team of people at | |
| Bosch Software Innovations who realized that the Internet of Things we are interested | |
| in is not one that is controlled by a few large players in the IT market. | |
| In the past I had perceived the Eclipse community as being centered mainly around | |
| the IDE and other development tools & technologies. Many of the foundation's processes | |
| and policies still reflect the necessities and assumptions for making the development | |
| of this technology as easy as possible (which is a great achievement), e.g. the wording | |
| used in guidelines and policies often refers to the "Product" (meaning the IDE) and | |
| "Plug-ins" to be the artifacts being released. | |
| What I would like to do is represent the perspective of projects, like | |
| those under the iot top level project, that do not necessarily deliver their software | |
| by means of standard Eclipse P2 repos distributing plug-ins for the IDE but instead use e.g. Maven | |
| Central as their main distribution channel to deliver their artifacts in the form of libraries | |
| that are used to build other systems. We also see more and more projects finding a home | |
| in the Eclipse community that do not even use Java as the programming language of choice. | |
| I would also like to help finding the best way the Eclipse Foundation can attract such projects and | |
| support them in efficiently delivering their software within the safe legal framework the | |
| foundation provides. | |

| like smart home, energy management, e-mobility and automotive long before the term | |
| has reached its recent popularity and ubiquity. He is an active committer on several Eclipse IoT projects | |
| and has just recently started the Hono project together with other members from the community, | |
| aiming at providing an integration platform for connecting millions of devices to the cloud. | |
