Eclipse Foundation Staff

The Eclipse Foundation is fortunate to have some very talented people working full-time on behalf of the Eclipse community. Below is the list of our staff.

Eclipse email addresses all follow the firstname.lastname@eclipse.org convention.

Wayne Beaton

Director of Open Source Projects

Wayne is the Director of Open Source Projects at the Eclipse Foundation. He spends his days working with the many Eclipse projects, learning about Eclipse technology, and making sure that everybody knows just how cool it all really is. When not working, he can usually be found watching his kids play hockey at one of the many local arenas.

Wayne authors the Eclipse Hints, Tips, and Random Musings blog.

Janet Campbell

Director, Intellectual Property
Secretary and Legal Counsel

Outside of work, Janet enjoys traveling (to South East Asia in particular), walking her dogs, taking her bike for a spin and spending time with family and friends.

Sharon Corbett-Gütz

Intellectual Property Management

Hailing from the most easterly province in Canada, Sharon is the resident "Newfie" of the Foundation. She is passionite about the game of footy and has spent numerous hours being a soccer mom both on and off the field. When not focusing on IP, she likes reading a good book (no kindles thanks), and enjoying a fine glass of red!

Nathan Gervais

Web Developer

Keep an eye out for this kid! Nathan joined Eclipse in 2006 and is usually seen lurking around eclipse.org websites working his magic. Hobbies include playing tennis, spending time with my kids and portaging through Algonquin Park.

Christopher Guindon

Web Developer

Chris is the newest addition to the Eclipse Foundation web development team. When he’s not at a computer, which is rare, Chris spends his time relaxing with his girlfriend and two cats, playing the drums, watching a habs game or at the top of a hill snowboarding.

Anne Jacko

Conference Queen

When not in front of a monitor, Anne prefers activities that involve wearing a helmet--horseback riding, skiing, and cycling. One of her favorite books is The Chicago Manual of Style, so if you need help with the nitpicking details of writing in English, she's happy to help.

Perri Lavergne

Ecosystem Development Support

Perri joined the Eclipse Foundation in May 2010. Her focus is on membership retention and development. Outside of work Perri enjoys spending time with family and friends, medical research, volunteer work for organizations dealing with children with special needs, running, cooking and baking. Perri hopes to one day accomplish her long time dream of a unique before and after school program for teens with special needs.

Mike Milinkovich

Executive Director

Outside of work, Mike's passions are his family, the family cottage and hockey (as a coach, player and fan) in pretty much that order. When he's not working, or traveling for work, you will probably find him involved in one of those three things.

You can read Mike's blog at http://dev.eclipse.org/blogs/mike/.

Ralph Mueller

Director, Ecosystem - Europe

Ralph's role at the Eclipse Foundation is focused on growing the Eclipse Ecosystem across Europe.

Ralph's passion outside of work is golf, both as a player and as a coach for children just starting the game. He's also helped both Mike and Donald to improve their games.

Andrew Ross

Director, Ecosystem

Andrew is responsible for the long term support, Location, and Common Build Infrastructure programs. He's also good guy to ask about VoIP technology and Asterisk.

Andrew can't help but be drawn to useful technology. Being a Husband and Dad fills his life with much joy. When there's time left over, Andrew enjoys viewing the night sky with a telescope.

In addition to her Office Manager responsibilities, Sharon assists with marketing activities and also organizes or assists with the planning of various meetings and conferences. Sharon thanks Mike every day for opening a proper office because she was going stir crazy working out of the home office in her basement!
