<P>I've been serving on the Board as your elected Committer Representative for almost a year now. Here are some of | |
my personal accomplishments in this role so far:</p> | |
<ul> | |
<li> I've been blogging the minutes of the face-to-face board meetings | |
(<a href="http://eclipse-committer-reps.blogspot.com/2008/06/june-board-meeting.html">June</a>, | |
<a href="http://eclipse-committer-reps.blogspot.com/2008/09/september-board-meeting.html">September</a>, | |
<a href="http://eclipse-committer-reps.blogspot.com/2008/12/december-2008-board-meeting.html">December</a>) | |
to enable more immediate transparency of Board activities.</li> | |
<li> I proposed and received approval for dual licensing (EPL/EDL) for the embedded runtime components in the | |
RTSC and TM projects. This kicked off a bigger discussion (led by Jeff McAffer) about dual licensing runtimes | |
and the need to encourage runtime reference implementations in Eclipse. </li> | |
<li> I proposed Japanese localization of the Bugzilla interface, which was approved and will be completed when | |
Bugzilla 3.2 is deployed. </li> | |
<li> In the interest of representing the user community, Mik and I facilitated a sometimes contentious discussion | |
with the Board about the customer-facing messaging of the Eclipse train release. </li> | |
<li> I presented several requests from the Architecture Council (see December minutes), with somewhat mixed results. </li> | |
<li> I serve on the Compensation Committee. The Comp Committee works with the Executive Director to establish | |
quarterly objectives for the Director and Foundation. The Comp Committee also conducts the annual performance | |
review for the Director. </li> | |
</ul> | |
<p>So why do I want you to elect me for another term?</p> | |
<ul> | |
<li> I believe I'm doing a good job representing committer issues, even when those issues don't align with the | |
Board's interests. Much of my individual accomplishments above are focused on this effort. </li> | |
<li> I want to continue working with the rest of the Board on the strategy for the Foundation and ecosystem. | |
I believe my execution skills and sense of vision will continue to be valuable as we guide the Foundation | |
through these financially challenging times. </li> | |
<li> I'd like to continue my work on the Compensation Committee, as it is directly tied to the execution of the | |
Eclipse strategy. </li> | |
<li> Working on the Board has been an excellent learning experience so far, and I'd like to continue learning. </li> | |
</ul> | |
