		<p>My vision for Eclipse is simple, keep building the <b>community</b> so the Eclipse ecosystem can prosper. We have a unique open source community at Eclipse that is comprised of two main parties: individuals and companies. We need to keep both parties in mind and make it easier for both individuals and companies to be successful at Eclipse. As a committer representative, I will continue to support committers and bring forward any concerns. My passion lies with growing the Eclipse ecosystem and making sure its constituents are happy. I have demonstrated my passion over the last few years via action. I have introduced new contributors to the Eclipse ecosystem, mentored many committers and <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/egit">attracted</a> <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/swtbot">new</a> <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/gef3d">projects</a>.</p>

<p>To ensure Eclipse continues to grow and thrive I will particularly focus on:</p>
<ul>
<li>Continue modernizing the Eclipse infrastructure around GIT and project hosting</li>
<li>Push the Eclipse Marketplace to become an appstore for the Eclipse ecosystem</li>
<li>Push the idea of a global bundle repository for Eclipse, akin to Maven Central</li>
<li>Make it easier for projects to crowdsource their documentation efforts</li>
<li>Build bridges within the Eclipse ecosystem and with other open source or commercial projects</li>
<li>Encourage Eclipse committers and projects to participate in the community via blogs, forums and other communication channels</li>
<li>Lower the barrier to entry for new projects without sacrificing the quality Eclipse is known for</li>
<li>Evangelize and grow the e4 and EclipseRT efforts</li>
<li>Ensure Eclipse processes are transparent as possible</li>
</ul>

<p>On the whole, my goal is to make Eclipse thrive and be transparent as possible about the board's activities. I love bringing new projects to the Eclipse ecosystem and mentoring new committers. I will pay special attention to how we can make the Eclipse development process easier for smaller projects. In the end, I would be honored to represent you, the committers, for another term.</p>
