Determining Winners

The Individual and Project Award winners will be determined by a vote of the community. Each person will get to vote once per category from January 28, 2013 - February 22, 2013, 5:00 pm EST.

The Technology Award winners will be determined by a panel of judges selected from Eclipse-oriented editors and Eclipse project leaders. The panel of judges will determine winners based on a majority vote.

Past Winners

Eclipse is a large, vibrant community of many well-deserving individuals. Therefore, to ensure diversity of award winners, we have decided that nominees are not eligible in any category they have already won in the previous 3 years. Nominees can also only win one category per year. There are certainly many deserving of multiple awards, however we would like to acknowledge others also worthy of recognition.
