| <p>I am currently one of your committer reps on the Eclipse Board of Directors (thank you!). I am involved in several councils, lead projects, and am | |
| an active committer in many projects. | |

| <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 is 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 (<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=485257#c17" target="_blank">which happened during my current service)</a> and simplifying the CLA signing process. | |
| But I think these days the most important task for me is to make sure that the infrastructure gets better again. Currently we committers | |
| suffer from many outages, e.g. repo.eclipse.org being down which blocks Gerrit and a lot of other things, like the Eclipse SDK builds. During my current service I was already pushing hard on | |
| this and this would remain one of my main priorities to fight for.</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> | |

| <p>Dani started his work on Eclipse even before it was open sourced in 2001 and hence is one of the initial Eclipse Project committers. | |
| He leads the Platform and the JDT subprojects, represents the project in the Eclipse Planning Council, and is also a a member of the Eclipse | |
| 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> | |
