[eclipse-dev] Committer Election for Alex Blewitt on Eclipse Platform ha

[emo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

A committer election for Alex Blewitt on project Eclipse Platform
(eclipse.platform) was started by Lars Vogel with this criteria:

I would like to nominate Alex as committer.

Alex is the author of several Eclipse plug-in and RCP development books and a
known Java and Eclipse performance expert.
In 2015 he was starting the notion of improving Eclipse startup time, see for
exmaple http://alblue.bandlem.com/2015/09/eclipse-optimisation-part-2.html
and recently blog
about measuring bundle startup time with JFR (see
http://alblue.bandlem.com/2020/02/jfr-bundle-listener.html).

Over the last years he contributed multiple patches to platform and became
very active in the last months.

Alex works also in other projects, e.g, in Equinox, EGit and PDE and already
helps with incoming Gerrit code reviews.
His planned work queue for 4.17 M1 is already very large with 11 bugs at this
point in time:
