Vision
The Eclipse ecosystem has remarkable diversity, both in technologies provided and members involved. Crucial to the continuing success of Eclipse is a delicate balance where all interests are appropriately considered. As a Sustaining Member Board representative, I will help ensure that the issues important to the larger membership are considered in equal footing with the agenda of Strategic members. The Board needs to enable competition on a common platform for all members, and experienced Sustaining membership Board representation is a vital component for realizing this aim.
