| <p>Being part of the Eclipse ecosystem since day one and being an active committer in various projects until today, my main goal as |
| committer representative will be to further disburden the live of fellow committers. Among those things are improved tool support and |
| fighting for less legal overhead, like updating copyright notices on each commit and simplifying the CLA signing process.</p> |
| |
| <p>It is crucial to find good contributors that at some point become valuable committers. From my personal experience gaining commit rights in |
| other projects, every project has subtle differences which can shy away contributors. For example there are many How To Contribute wiki pages |
| which slightly differ. I'd like to see a common template that can be extended by individual projects.</p> |
| |
| <p>As your committer representative I will have an open door for everyone and help to resolve any barrier that is blocking your work, |
| either personally, or by taking it to the board.</p> |

| Architecture Council. Dani worked at OTI and now works at IBM Research GmbH. His interests include user interface and API design, editors, software quality and performance.</p> |
