Foundation 2.0 - Making it easier to contribute

Over the last six months, the Eclipse Foundation has done a number of things to make it easier for end users and the community to contribute to Eclipse projects. The articles below highlight what has been done to improve the contribution process. Read about Social Coding at Eclipse, the Common Build Initiative (CBI), Contributor License Agreements (CLAs), and EclipseCon Events.

New this month is the Eclipse User Spotlight section. In every upcoming issue, we will feature an Eclipse user in our newsletter.

We want to hear what you think about the Eclipse Newsletter and what you'd like to read about in the upcoming issues. Fill out this short survey and you could win one of five Eclipse Hoodies!

What do you do?
Officially, I'm a 'Senior Eclipse Consultant' - that's what my job description says. In reality, my job is split into two parts. The first is the Eclipse open source part; I am project lead of EPP and RAP, and a committer on other Eclipse projects. The second is the consultant part; I help and guide other companies that build their products based on Eclipse technologies.

How long have you been using Eclipse?
More than 10 years. I was fascinated by the Java Development Tools (JDT) from the very beginning and started to use CDT soon after.

Name five plugins you use and recommend:

What's your favorite thing to do when you're not working?
For everyone who knows me, it is obvious... flying small aircrafts.
