The Eclipse Foundation is on a mission to become the number one leading open source software foundation in Europe! Establishing the base in Europe was a fantastic achievement and we can already see the benefits. Let's continue and build on this, starting a new area of growth with many, many new fantastic members, projects and working groups starting at the Eclipse Foundation!
</p><p>
As a contributing member representative, I will work to see the Eclipse Foundation continuing on its success story, building communities around open source projects, helping companies understand and execute in an open source context, providing solutions to any concern around commercial-friendly open source software development. One critical building block for these activities is solid funding. Therefore I'd like to see the Eclipse Foundation continuing its effort of exploring new topic areas, attracting projects and growing the list of sustaining members.
</p><p>
I am very proud of what we have achieved over the years. Moving the base to Europe was a huge step towards growth and opened the door to many, many new opportunities. We also enabled more flexibility in the IP policy and I'd like to continue with those improvements and push for reducing complexity where possible. The Eclipse Foundation tools around IP compliance, project management and business continuity must continue to evolve and enhance providing integration options for the top popular stacks as well as improving the user experience for member companies as well as projects. More automation and post analysis will help reduce the work for members and committers.
</p><p>
It was my pleasure serving on the board in the last year on your behalf, engaging with board members in discussions and working on priorities. As your representative, I will listen and represent your needs on the board. Please allow me to continue doing that!
</p><p>
Thank you!
