You'll find him on IRC answering questions. You'll find him blogging, often in
the form of poetry set to music. You'll find him on newsgroups like newcomers,
platform, PDT, and so on answering questions. And he helps many groups set up
their builds, especially those new to Eclipse who need a helping hand.

Nick reflects the spirit of Eclipse with his attitude and his actions. That's

"Paul Fremantle, WSO2 co-founder and CTO , has served as an ambassador for
Eclipse and its role in contributing to a flexible, heterogeneous SOA, both
through development of WSO2 products that support Eclipse and continuing
education of the developer community via conferences, webinars, blogs and the
WSO2 forum. However, his most important initiative has been around the use of
Eclipse Equinox to fundamentally redefine the structure of SOA
middleware—extending beyond the componentization of individual products to
create a fully componentized SOA middleware platform.
<br><br>
With WSO2 Carbon, Paul has demonstrated the power of Equinox to create an SOA
fabric in which developers can mix and match components of different products
to assemble highly customized products for their individual needs. Since late
last year, Paul has not only evangelized WSO2’s specific approach, but also
the architectural principals of creating a fully componentized SOA platform
enabled by Eclipse Equinox."

Mik has been evangelizing Eclipse in highly visible venues that reach beyond
the current Eclipse ecosystem. He presented a widely attended talk at JavaOne
that earned him a JavaOne Rock Star Hall of Fame award. Mik is the first member
of the Eclipse ecosystem to be recognized with this award. He has also been
promoting Eclipse and RCP at numerous other conferences, including a recent
keynote talk at W-JAX, talks at SpringOne conferences, and some of the most
highly rated talks on the Eclipse conference circuit.
<br><br>
Mik's Eclipse Mylyn 2.2 and 3.0 videos have been viewed over 20,000 times

the Eclipse platform by basing all of his company's innovative products and

the TM project at Eclipse (<a href="http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/">http://www.eclipse.org/dsdp/tm/</a>) but more
importantly, he's done something I thought impossible, revive the Eclipse
Architecture Council (EAC). Because of Martin's leadership, the EAC has become
a place where committers can ask questions easily

form of community support via countless bugs and posts, as well as his code
contributions. I hate to say this, but Steffen had more than 1/2 of the
commits on Mylyn last year. To put that into perspective, Dash stats for 2008
put Mylyn as the most active Tools project by a pretty wide margin. His
increasing involvement with cross-project, build and install has also been
helpful in the release trains."

those who don't know, Tom has been responsible for the Equinox framework for
quite awhile, even back when it had a trendy name like "SMF" and OSGi was
"revolutionizing" the home automation market.
<br><br>
Tom's a quiet guy, but his careful eye in keeping the framework stable and
pushing it to Eclipse gets a nod from me. On top of that, he represents Eclipse
on the EEG and CPEG committees at OSGi.org..., he's even promised me that the
EEG won't ruin OSGi ;)

The BIRT newsgroup is one of the busiest, most successful newsgroups in the
Eclipse community. Jason has been instrumental in making this happen. Jason
has written more than 5,000 newsgroup posts (16% of the total newsgroup

He has helped our community work through some incredibly difficult and complex

"I would like to nominate Frank Becker (<a href="mailto:Frank@Frank-Becker.de">Frank@Frank-Becker.de</a>) for Top
Contributor. Frank has been an tireless contributor to the Mylyn project
(<a href="http://eclipse.org/mylyn">http://eclipse.org/mylyn</a>) for over a year, and has implemented a number of
excellent features in Mylyn (some you may have seen already, others due in
Mylyn 3.1):
<br><br>
* Porting to support Bugzilla 3.2
* Custom attributes (<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=226851">bug 226851</a>)
* Flags support (<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=186265">bug 186265</a>)
* Attachment deprecation/mark obsolete (<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=152065">bug 152065</a>)
<br><br>
Those are just the highlights. To date Frank has resolved 89 bugs and has
numerous patches awaiting review. In addition to contributing code, Frank is
also involved with end users and integrators through discussion on both the
Mylyn newsgroup and mailing lists.
<br><br>
Last but not least, Frank has recently received a round of +1 from all
committers on the Mylyn project in favor of Frank's nomination as a committer
on the Mylyn project.
<br><br>
+1 Frank Becker for Top Contributor award"
</li>
<li>
"+ for Frank Becker.
<br><br>
Through countless patches Frank has provided the other Mylyn committers help in
improving and evolving the Bugzilla connector. This connector is used by a
large portion of bugs.eclipse.org users, and is one of the few "common good"
projects within the Eclipse community that has no official support from the
Eclipse Foundation. It has been encouraging for the Mylyn project to see
community contributions on this connector, in the form of Frank's patches and
interactions with the bugzilla.mozilla.org community."

committer to explore PDE/EMF integrations.

"I'm going to nominate Dave Carver for this. While I don't really work with Dave
on anything yet (which is unfortunate because Dave knows what he's talking
about), I _have_ seen Dave's posts on the various communication channels of
Eclipse (his own blog, newsgroups, the mailing lists, IRC, and so forth) and he
is really, really active. I don't know where he finds the time for all of this
because I'm pretty sure he's not doing all of these things on company time.
<br><br>
Dave really just kind of "came out of nowhere" some time in 2007 (or early
2008?) and has contributed a tremendous amount to the Eclipse ecosystem since
then. He works closely with the WTP SSE folks in his work for XSL tooling and
has also helped push the VEX project from SourceForge over to Eclipse.org
recently. I see a bright future for anything related to XML editing at
Eclipse.org with Dave around and I hope Dave continues to stick around for many
years to come. :) "

<p>
<ul>
<li>
"I would like to nominate Miles Parker as a top contributor. Miles may be a
surprising choice because he hasn't (to my knowledge) contributed any code.
However, he is an excellent example of the fact that code isn't the only way
someone in the community can make a positive contribution to the project. From
the perspective of the Equinox p2 team, he has contributed something far more
valuable than patches: an end-user perspective that is different from that of
Eclipse developers. As committers we often fall victim to focusing too much on
the user community we know best: ourselves. As a result we often tailor our
solutions to a very narrow conception of end-user expectations and behavior.
Therefore to have different end-user perspectives that are well thought out and
articulated is absolutely vital to our success. Having a contributor like Miles
providing constructive feedback early and often during development has been a
great asset to the team. It is easy to provide criticism, but when the critique
is polite, constructive, and thoroughly detailed, it is a refreshing change
from the all too common slings and arrows from irate users.
<br><br>
From a quick search, there are about a 100 bugs Miles has created or commented
on in the recent past, mostly in the areas of the new SWT Cocoa port, and
Equinox p2. Particularly good examples of his contributions are comments in
<a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=250316">bug
250316</a>, <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=255984">bug 255984</a>,

I'm sure I have missed many
others."
</li>

"+1 for Miles, he has added valuable insight as we evolve the p2 UI in 3.5 (and
before that as well, but I think I never noticed him in particular under the
flood of 3.4 bugs)..."

the e4 project - which also led to voting him into the Eclipse Architecture
Council.
<br><br>
Few may know that he's been doing all this in his private spare time, he's even
been funding EclipseCon visits privately. He's been contributing his time and
energy out of passion for Open Source and Technology, that's why I'm nominating
him for Top Contributor (although he is a committer)."
