Hi all,
I notice that there are four different categories of foundation
membership (strategic, add-in provider, associate, and committer), but
that only members belonging to the first three are listed on eclipse.org.
I'm curious if there are, in fact, any committer members and, if so, how
many? It's a particularly interesting category, since it's suggestive
of individuals who are interested in the technology for its own sake,
and not companies interested in the commercialization of it.
Thanks,
Dave

That is correct. But the interesting wrinkle is that committers who work for
Member companies have all of the rights and privileges of a Committer
Member, without having to individually sign the Membership Agreement.
So the way I count them is whether or not they have the right to vote in the
committer representative board elections. And currently there are 425++ of
those.
.....I am not sure if this helps or just makes things even more confusing :-)
