<p>I believe that a common technology can unite many different worlds, and that | |
technology is driven and developed by a community rather than a single entity. | |
It can bring partners and competitors closer together and it can span across many | |
different markets and types of product development. I believe that Eclipse has | |
many characteristics that will allow it to become that single common enabling | |
platform. The huge and growing ecosystem of companies and technologies that | |
surrounds Eclipse, coupled with a business model that allows companies to | |
build and sell better products will continuously evolve and enhance the | |
technology and its applicability to more and more developers.</p> | |
<p>My world has been that of embedded device development, and I see many | |
synergies between the software development tools from embedded and the | |
enterprise/desktop worlds that could bridge the gap between these two areas. | |
I also see that by using a higher level of abstraction when designing systems, | |
then hardware development and software development could also be more closely | |
united. Eclipse certainly has the flexibility to allow these typically disparate | |
entities to unite making the developers more productive and allowing tool | |
vendors to integrate more effectively. I would like to encourage more | |
collaboration between companies and their technologies that have traditionally | |
been focused in their own domains or markets and to explore new solutions | |
(or Eclipse projects) that will ultimately increase the productivity of | |
developers.</p> | |

<p>I earned a Bachelors degree in Computer Science. My first role was programming | |
SCADA systems (RTL/2 on a PDP-11), and then moved into programming the embedded | |
parts of those systems in assembler and Pascal. I changed career path and worked | |
for Microtec Research, where I developed some of the early versions of the | |
famous XRAY debugger. I found that I enjoyed explaining the technology and | |
products as much as developing them so I moved into a technical sales role, | |
and spent my time explaining compiler optimizations, and demonstrating the | |
first IDE for embedded development (MasterWorks). My career for the last | |
10 years has been marketing, where I help bring new software products to the | |
embedded world. I have been very active in promoting both Eclipse and Eclipse | |
based products with both Mentor Graphics and now LynuxWorks. I have chaired | |
the Eclipse embedded workgroup for the last 4 years and have been focused on | |
how to bring the embedded software world together under the common standard | |
platform of Eclipse. I have written many Eclipse articles and papers for | |
embedded publications, and have presented Eclipse papers and chaired Eclipse | |
discussions at the last four Embedded Systems Conferences and EclipseCon 2007. | |
