Vision
Ensure that Eclipse Foundation services are continuously improved to provide high-quality, relevant and easy-to-use outcomes for projects and project committers.
Eclipse Foundation services, such as infrastructure support, serve 400+ projects hosted at the foundation.
Committers need to give early and direct feedback to the foundation to ensure these services are valuable and easy-to-use. Input from committers helps tune the community services and provides the much-needed perspective from the 'trenches' to build a strong foundation. If re-elected, my role as a committer representative on the Eclipse Foundation board is to communicate the requirements and feedback of Eclipse Foundation committers and from my own experience, to ensure Eclipse projects run smoothly.
