[eclipse.org-members-committers] Board Position: Elected Committer Member Representative
|
All,
Earlier this week I emailed you all about the upcoming elections
for the Contributing and Committer representatives for 2021.
I am writing today to inform you about a separate, albeit
short-term position on the Board which is available. As you may be
aware, Dani Megert passed away a short time ago. (I have pasted
below some content from our November board meeting minutes
acknowledging Dani's many contributions to the Eclipse community.)
Dani was elected to the Board and his term expires on March 31,
2021. In its meeting earlier today the Board decided to fill this
seat for the remainder of the term. The elected Committer Member
representatives bring a critical perspective to our Board's
discussions and it was felt that even for a relatively short
period of time there is value in having such a representative.
Please consider joining Chris Aniszczyk and Ed Merks as Committer
representatives on our Board.
Under our Bylaws when an elected Board seat becomes vacant the
Board will select a replacement for the remainder of the term.
This email is to solicit nominations (including self-nominations)
for this seat. The Board will decide amongst the candidates in its
January 20, 2021 meeting and the selected candidate will serve
until March 31, 2021. Of course, we do hope that all candidates
will consider running for the election and serving the following
annual term.
Nominations must be received by midnight Eastern Time on Friday,
January 9, 2021. Please send nominations to elections@xxxxxxxxxxx.
To avoid confusion with the elections, please note "[2020 Term]"
in the subject of your email.
Thanks in advance for your time and attention.
From the minutes of the Board's November meeting.
Acknowledgement of the Passing of Dani Megert
The Board recognized a moment of silence in honor of their Board
colleague, Daniel (Dani) Megert.
Mike Milinkovich then spoke to Dani’s contributions to Eclipse
over his 20 years of engagement, including to the Eclipse project,
to the PMC, to the architecture council, and over the past number
of years, to the Board of Directors as an elected Committer
representative.
The Board unanimously approved the following:
RESOLVED, the Board acknowledges the tremendous contributions
made by their colleague, Daniel Megert, over his 20 years of
engagement with the Eclipse project and the Eclipse Foundation,
and for his long standing leadership and mentorship in all
aspects within the Eclipse community. The Board wishes to extend
its sincere and heartfelt condolences to Dani’s family, friends,
and colleagues.
