| <eclipse_affiliation> <![CDATA[ <p> As one of your current |
| Add-in Provider (now Sustaining Member) Board members I've strongly supported the interests of our |
| community for the past several years and would be honored to represent you again in |
| 2009. 2008 was a very active year in the Eclipse Community and on the |
| board. I won't belabor the details (if you want to read the board |
| meeting minutes check out http://www.eclipse.org/org/foundation/minutes.php) |
| but will say that I was a strong advocate for our Sustaining Member community. |
| During the year I lead Eclipse e4 Market Research Study (released in January 2009) |
| and contributed to many important Board discussions and decisions. My team and I |
| at Instantiations supported many Eclipse-related activities in 2008 |
| including EclipseCon, open source projects, demo camps, webinars, |
| committees and more. We're excited that two of our co-founders, Eric Clayberg and |
| Dan Rubel released the 3rd edition of their best selling book, "Eclipse Plug-ins." We |
| will continue to do the same in 2009. We're all very involved and committed to |
| the success of the technology and the community. Instantiations has made the |
| Eclipse platform the core of its strategy and is <i> all Eclipse all the time.</i></p> |
