Greetings folks.
As discussed on the call last week, I have several excellent
candidates to join the Architecture Council. Normally, I'd create
separate messages for each, but figure that I can save everybody
some time by joining them together.
I don't think that any of these nominations are controversial. I
believe that all of the candidates are well known to the community
and are already very highly respected for their contributions. For
completeness, however, I will provide a brief description of merit
for each.
I ask you all to show your support for all candidates simultaneously
by adding your +1 to this thread. If you have any concerns about any
of these individuals joining the AC, contact either Martin or me
directly.
Dani Megert is a member and driving force in the Eclipse PMC,
and is the project lead for the Java Development Tools project
(along with several other projects). Dani is a prolific contributor
to the JDT and Platform, and spends a great deal of energy reviewing
contributions and growing the diversity of the JDT project. Dani has
been part of our community since before we started keeping records.
Martin Lippert is a member of the new Eclipse Cloud
Development (ECD) top-level project's PMC, and project lead on the
Flux project. Martin is a prolific committer, having contributed
code to Platform, Equinox, Virgo, Libra, and Flux. Martin is a
regular respected presenter at numerous conferences and a great
ambassador for Eclipse.
Matthias Sohn is a project lead and committer for EGit and
JGit, two projects that have pushed valuable change into our
development process (primarily by making very frequent releases in
the early days). He is also a committer on SWTBot and Orion, and is
the project lead for Skalli. Matthias knows our processes and will
be a valuable resource for the Architecture Council; I look forward
to his input into future updates of the Eclipse Development Process.
Lars Vogel's articles and books are the go-to resource for
many Eclipse users. Lars is prolific contributor to the Eclipse
Platform UI, and is one of the most active reviewers of
contributions to the project. Lars has paved the way for numerous
other contributors to become committers on Platform UI. Lars has
recently become a committer on PDE. He is a regular well-received
and respected speaker at many conferences.
Pascal Rapicault has been on our list for a while, but
somewhere along the lines, we neglected to take the next step in the
nomination process. Pascal is well-known to the community as the
project lead (and go-to guy) for p2, but boasts an extremely
impressive and diverse history of contribution in other projects,
including Maven Integration (m2e), Oomph, PDE, Equinox, and
Platform.
Thanks,
Wayne
