| <b>Ottawa, Canada - February 23, 2010</b> - To broaden participation in the Eclipse community, |
| the Eclipse Foundation is introducing two new initiatives to encourage both large corporations |
| and small technology companies to participate in the Eclipse community. Eclipse is a global |
| community that benefits organizations of all types: small/large, ISVs, consultants, enterprise |
| IT, tech companies, services providers, universities, non-profit, etc. However, the support |
| of the Eclipse Foundation is mainly funded through the membership dues of tech companies, such |
| as ISVs, hardware vendors and services providers. These new initiative will broaden the |
| participation options for both large corporations and small technology companies. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/corporate_sponsors/">Eclipse Corporate Sponsor Program</a> |
| encourages large corporate users of Eclipse technology |
| to contribute back to the community. Many large companies use Eclipse technology internally |
| but for a variety of reasons can not easily contribute back to the community in terms of |
| committers or membership. The Corporate Donor program allows these companies to financially |
| sponsor the Eclipse Foundation and thus support the services the Foundation provides to the |
| overall community. The Corporate Sponsor Program will recognize three tiers of sponsors: |
| 1) Platinum Sponsor for sponsorship of more than $100K USD, 2) Gold Sponsor for sponsorship of |
| more than $25K USD and 3) Silver Sponsor for sponsorship of more than $5K USD. Companies that have |
| already joined the program include Cisco, Amazon Web Services, IBM and Novell. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The Eclipse Foundation has also extended the membership criteria to make it easier for small |
| technology companies to join as members of the Foundation. The Eclipse Board has approved |
| a $1,500 USD Solutions Membership Dues for organizations with annual corporate revenues less than |
| $1 million USD and not more than ten employees or contractors on staff. Previously, the lowest |
| membership option available was $5,000 USD. Companies that have already taken advantage of this |
| change and joined the Eclipse Foundation include Modular Mind and ANCiT Consulting. |
| </p> |
| |
