<p>After over a decade being part of the Eclipse community it has been an honour over the last year to serve at the | |
highest level, the Board of Directors. In the past year on the board of directors I have learnt a | |
tremendous amount in a great environment. I am also pleased to have made an impact and achieved the following:</p> | |
<ul> | |
<li>Succeeded in getting Diversity & Inclusion to be a regular agenda item discussed at board level, including at the main | |
face-to-face meeting in June. </li> | |
<li>Secured dedicated funding for a Diversity & Inclusion initiative that will act as a catalyst | |
for pushing forward diversity initiatives within the community in a sustainable manner.</li> | |
<li>Pushed for better focus on Eclipse branding and obtained a resolution for a set of common | |
branding materials to empower each member of the community to spread the word. </li> | |
</ul> | |
<p> If re-elected, I would like to keep focussing on <b>growth</b> and build on this success in the following ways:</p> | |
<p><b>Diversity</b></p> | |
<p>Continue to lead the board in supporting the new diversity & inclusion initiative at the Eclipse Foundation and | |
the community at large so we can grow in new ways, include more contributors and committers from | |
underrepresented groups, and benefit from the innovation that comes with more diverse thoughts around the table.</p> | |
<p><b>Brand Messaging </b></p> | |
<p>Champion the Eclipse Foundation to provide a common set of brand materials to empower each and every Eclipse member | |
company, committer or contributor to be a brand ambassador for the community, their project or working group. A strong | |
brand communicates a consistent message, increases global awareness, motivates prospective members to join, | |
makes our objectives easier to achieve and increases pride in being a member of this community.</p> | |
<p><b>Working Groups</b></p> | |
<p>Continue to represent the sustaining members as we navigate the fast moving changes in open source | |
software and the wider technology industry. Continue to promote initiatives that build on the successful | |
working group model and foster collaboration to leverage this unique strength of the Eclipse community.</p> | |
