+1 for Manoj to join the PMC.  Looking forward to working with you, Manoj!

Thanks again Jay, for all that you did to fill the PMC role.  It was massive shoes to fill after we lost Dani, but you stepped up and were critical in the success of the PMC and project overall.

Thanks

Tom

Hello all,

Due to personal reasons, I would like to step down from the Eclipse PMC. I have discussed my decision with other PMC members, and they have accepted it. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow PMC members for their support and collaboration throughout my time on the PMC.

As my successor, I would like to propose Manoj Palat. Manoj is one of the JDT leads and has been actively involved in the Working Group Committee, the Java Experts Group, and other Eclipse initiatives. He brings considerable experience with both the Eclipse ecosystem and JDT in particular, and I believe he would be a strong addition to the PMC.

I request that the PMC Council consider this proposal and initiate the necessary vote to take this forward.

Thanks for all the year Jay, enjoy your next adventures!

Welcome Manoj, I'm looking forward for some new blood in the PMC!

Best regards,

Alex

 

Regards,

Jay
