OK so how should we proceed? I know Oracle have Java Champions. Red Hat has them too. I’m sure others do as well. But does Eclipse have something already in place we could leverage? Failing that I assume we’d need to define rules for becoming a champion, a logo (!) etc.

Perhaps even directly tying funds from Influencers
to funding for the program and letting the Influencers *run* the
program could 1) solve a few perception issues, 2) give
Influencers something substantial to do, and 3) provide
motivation for independents to push for more influencers as they
would be directly affected by any funding or lack thereof.
It wouldn't be perceived as funding spent on vendors, but
money spent on them. With the program funding tied
exclusively to Influencers, it is what it is. If people are
unhappy about the level of support they're getting as
champions, the industry is the one who has to answer. As a
champion, you would have some influence over that. Everyone's
motivations would be linked so the right things can happen.
That sounds like a pretty good idea.
So far we have zero Influencer Members, so we have a ways to go on
that front.
