[eclipse.org-architecture-council] You're nominated to join the Eclipse Architecture Council
|
Hello Linda,
Brian Fitzpatrick has nominated you to
join the Eclipse Architecture Council in recognition of your achievements for
the Eclipse Community. In it's phone meeting today, the Council unanimously
accepted this nomination (we apologize for taking so long before we could get
back to you). As per the Eclipse Development Process
[1], your nomination is a highly visible
confirmation of the Eclipse community's respect for your technical vision, good
judgement, software development skills, past and future contributions to
Eclipse. It is a role that should be neither given nor taken lightly.
I'm sending this E-Mail to you in order to actually confirm that you're
ready to take on that new role. Being on the Architecture Council does not come
for free: we do expect our members to be actively involved in the Council's
work. We'd appreciate if you can join the monthly 1-hour phone meetings, but
being responsive to the council's business in terms of E-Mail discussions is
just as important. Given that only AC members can serve as official Mentors for
projects, we also expect you to be ready to serve as a Mentor, be open-eyed to
interesting things going on in your domain and bring them to the Council's
attention. Only pro-active members bring real value to our cross-functional
body.
Over all, an investment of 3 hours
each month for AC business should be the minimum expectation (1 hour for the
phone call, plus 2 hours for E-Mail business). What you get in return, is
getting in touch with some of the most prominent leaders in our Community,
first-hand information and a good chance to actually change things that bother
you.
See the Architecture Council Wiki pages [2]
for more information. If you have any questions, or find those pages unclear,
just drop me an E-Mail or file a bug [3] against the AC component. As a new member, you have the unique
opportunity to see things like a newcomer, and thus point out things on the
website that need improvement; Existing bug 250348 [4] already
mentions some items that should help newcomers get started.
I'd appreciate getting you on
board. Let me know what you think!

Hi all...
After getting the great
feedback from Mike M & Martin on what it takes to nominate someone for the
Architecture Council, I'd like to nominate Linda Chan as a potential candidate
for the EAC.
Linda leads the Open Data Access development
in the DTP Connectivity sub-project, as well as serve on the PMC since DTP
started, and works for Actuate Corporation. She also serves as the DTP
Incubator project lead.
Through the last few years, she's been instrumental
in helping shepherd the Data Tools Platform project
from its inception to where we are today. She always has the best interests of
not only DTP in mind, but the DTP and BIRT communities as well, making sure
that changes we make a) make sense and b) add value.
She is not afraid to speak her mind on topics
affecting not only coding in DTP, but policies and procedures as well. She
often brings up points of view that quite frankly didn't occur to me or other
members of the DTP PMC, which is nearly always refreshing.
Over the last year, she's been mentoring the
Ecore-ODA project in the DTP Incubator and we've seen it grow not only
technologically, but by leaps and bounds in the community. She was
instrumental in helping the developers working on the project get their feet
pointed in the right direction.
As such, I think her technological chops,
community-driven mindset and mentoring skills would make her a great candidate
for the AC. With the AC taking more of an active "steering committee" approach
now in terms of mentorship, providing solid examples, and helping guide
policies and procedures where necessary, Linda would fit right in and be
willing to contribute immediately to the broader Eclipse community.
Please vote for recommending Linda Chan to
Mike as a new EAC member.
+1 from Brian Fitzpatrick
Thanks!
