Eclipse Project PMC

Who's running this project?

This page lists the people that are currently playing the PMC and subproject leadership roles described in the project charter. You will notice that there are many IBM people listed... it's not because we want to do all the work (believe us!) - its just because we built the first release of Eclipse before it became an open source project, and others haven't had enough time yet to get involved in key roles. We welcome new people who want to get involved and can make a contribution. The Eclipse Project is a meritocracy. The more you contribute the more responsibility you will earn.

We ask that you do not email us directly. Instead - use the mailing lists. Mailing lists have been set up for each area of work, and are the best way to get involved.

The Eclipse Project is managed by a small group known as the Eclipse Project Management Committee (PMC). The work of the project is organized into subprojects. Each subproject has a leader who has overall responsibility for its success. Large subprojects are further divided into component teams, each of who has a leader that is responsible for its overall success. We have listed just the PMC and subproject leaders here but you will encounter many dedicated Eclipse Project committers and developers in the newsgroup and mailing lists.
