Newsgroups
- Foundation
Eclipse Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation formed to advance the creation, evolution, promotion, and support of the Eclipse Platform and to cultivate both an open source community and an ecosystem of complementary products, capabilities, and services. Please don't ask technical Eclipse questions here.
The Committer Representatives are Eclipse committers who have been elected by their peers, with the task of representing them on the Eclipse Foundation Board of Directors. This group is intended to be used by Eclipse committers to discuss committer-related issues. In the interest of transparency and openness, this public newsgroup will be used for their communications without any other means of moderation or authentication. Please refrain from using this group to ask technical questions.
If you are not an Eclipse committer, you are welcome to read the dialog within, and perhaps participate if the committers request it; however, if you have technical questions, we request that you use the Project newsgroups that have been set up for that specific purpose.
