- Eclipse has gone a long way since its IDE days and it has managed to

- Automotive. I firmly believe that based on the traction on some of
- existing Eclipse projects and the SDV working group Eclipse could have a
- pivotal role into driving the adoption of Open Source in Automotive as
- well as helping the convergence between robotics and automotive. After
- all, isn’t an autonomous car a big robot?

- Like many people, the first time I heard about Eclipse was when I used
- the Eclipse IDE at the beginning of my career as a Java developer. After
- using the IDE for several years and even doing some SWT projects, I
- realized that "Eclipse" is much more than just an IDE. As I became more
- familiar with open source development, I realized how positive and even
- necessary centralized and independent management of open source software
- is.
- </p>
- <p>
- With my work in the Eclipse Foundation Board of Directors, Jakarta EE,
- and the Adoptium working group, I can see the organization's benefits
- daily. The foundation helps the working groups in areas like marketing,
- community management, and infrastructure.
- </p>
- <p>
- In addition, several big and prominent players want to add their
- opinion and view to the OSS projects of the foundation. The Eclipse
- Foundation creates workflows and rules that allow me, as a minor member,
- to be on the same level as the big players and discuss our thoughts in a
- remarkable community by creating a big picture together that is just a
- benefit for all of us.
- </p>
- vision: |
- <p>
- The Eclipse Foundation is a place that allows individual open source
- enthusiasts and companies – big or small – to work together at eye level.
- While this is already an incredible achievement, I often see that the
- hurdle to starting with open source development and understanding its
- workflows and benefits is still high for many people and small companies.
- I would like to have the Eclipse Foundation as one of the best addresses
- for getting into OSS. Next, I would like to have more small companies
- join the foundation to support critical OSS on which they already depend
- today.
- </p>
- <p>
- The Eclipse Foundation has an ever-growing Java community, and it is
- important to me to continue to strengthen it and bring it together. In
- addition, the Eclipse Foundation is already a well-known player in the
- global Java community. It is essential to expand its position as the OSS
- Foundation for Java and to make the Eclipse Foundation visible as an
- essential pillar of the global Java community.
- </p>
- <p>
- With the Open Regulatory Compliance Working Group, something huge and
- important was created last year: several open source foundations and
- stewards collaborate as an Eclipse Foundation Working Group to work
- united on sustainable, solid, and open solutions for the Cyber
- Resilience Act and other regulations on (open source) software. This is
- an essential step in positioning the Eclipse Foundation as a global and
- especially European leader for solid open-source projects and
- stewardship, including essential connections to politics and
- governments.

- Hendrik Ebbers is a Java Champion, a member of JSR expert groups, and
- JavaOne Rockstar. He has achieved all this through his belief in open
- source and open communities. Hendrik is the founder and leader of the
- Java User Group Dortmund and gives talks and presentations in user groups
- and at conferences worldwide. Hendrik is a member of the Jakarta WG and
- the Adoptium WG. In both projects, he was already involved before they
- became Eclipse working groups: Hendrik was a member of the AdoptOpenJDK
- TSC and part of the Java Bean Validation expert group.
- </p>
- <p>
- Hendrik is founder and CEO of Open Elements, a company focusing on
- open source software and the open source community. The main goal of Open
- Elements is to strengthen open collaboration. Open Elements is partnering
- with Eclipse Foundation, Linux Foundation and Apache Foundation to move
- critical OSS forward. Especially in the Java ecosystem Open Elements is
- currently responsible for moving the Apache Maven project forward by
- managing investments of the German government for the project.
- </p>
- <p>
- Hendrik is an Eclipse Foundation Board of Director since 2023. That
- position helps him to have an even better insight on the Java related
- working groups and communities at Eclipse Foundation. With that
- background he started the “Eclipse loves Java†series by doing several
- sessions about that topic and co-organising the Java Community Day at
- EclipseCon/OCX.
- </p>
- <p>
- Next to Eclipse-related projects, Hendrik is leading the TSC for the
- Hiero project at Linux Foundation and is a member of a technical advisory

-
- vision: |
- <p>
- My vision for 2024 has evolved slightly. The foundation has seen a large
- growth with SDV, Oniro and ThreadX. I want to encourage cross project
- collaboration. Basically, I want to make sure the wheel is not
- re-invented but improved collaboratively if it makes sense. I would
- encourage the foundation to act as the bridge between various parties,
- making stronger communities based on technical excellence. I am already
- volunteering as a board representatitve on the Code Of Conduct workgroup
- to ensure the community remains such a wonderful and welcoming place.
- </p>
- <p>
- Previously, I focused on security, integrity, clarity, performance and
- community aspects. On the community side, I would push for efforts to
- make Eclipse more interesting for academia and smaller businesses, in an
- effort to diversify the ecosystem. For the performance aspect, Despite
- being a "manager," in my heart I am a performance engineer.
- </p>
- <p>
- On the clarity side, the Eclipse Foundation is a role model of openness,
- and I would continue to defend their efforts. On the integrity side,
- projects such as dash-licenses show that the project is open in a
- responsible way and encourages strong IP due diligence, and I would
- continue to support such initiatives as well as the open chain
- initiative.
- </p>
- <p>
- For security, Eclipse is world class, in my opinion. Their response time
- to CVEs such as Log4j and XercesJ was exemplary. I would continue
- encouraging such behaviour in any way possible.
- </p>
- <p>
- We are a large and diverse community. This is great — let's share
- our ideas more, and have fun in the process.

- the distinctive work atmosphere found in an open-source
- environment.
- </p>
- <h3 class="h5 fw-700">Intensify Working Group Collaboration</h3>
- <p>
- Given the large and growing number of working groups in the
- Eclipse Foundation, coordination and collaboration are critical.
- Creating practical and natural opportunities for collaboration
- where all members can interact and learn from one another benefits
- all our initiatives. These efforts will magnify the value the
- Eclipse Foundation brings to its member companies.
- </p>
- <h3 class="h5 fw-700">
- Advance Eclipse IDE's position as a vital part of the Eclipse
- Foundation
- </h3>
- <p>
- The Eclipse IDE, as the namesake and core of the Eclipse
- Foundation, has much to offer. The benefits should clearly be
- emphasized to secure the future of a vendor neutral IDE.
- </p>
- <p>
- I believe Eclipse IDE has an outstanding community. Which delivers
- great value to developers and businesses. The Eclipse platform is
- used as a basis in so many different applications all over the
- world. To ensure the ongoing enhancements it is necessary to
- provide sufficient funding and manpower, both of which I would
- like to help secure.
- </p>
- <p>
- I would be very happy to continue serving on the Eclipse Board of
- Directors on your behalf!

- <p>
- Thank you!

- <p>
- What is Eclipse?
- That was an easy question to answer back in the early days:
- Eclipse is a highly-extensible, desktop IDE framework implemented in Java using native widgets.
- Clearly Eclipse has evolved and diversified.
- The Eclipse Foundation was formed to manage this technology, but it too has evolved and diversified dramatically and continues to do so.
- Now the answer to this simple question is far from clear.
- Is it a Foundation, a Project, a Community, a Java IDE, or Europe's largest open source organization?
- It is of course all those things, but not merely these things.
- For me personally, Eclipse is the world's biggest and best open-source Modeling community.
- But in the end, for each of us committers, Eclipse is something quite different,
- and we each personally help to make Eclipse what we collectively want it to be and to become.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- This election is about how you as a committer are represented on the Eclipse Foundation's Board of Directors.
- The board is relatively small, so each and every representative has significant influence.
- As your committer representative on the board, I will employ my seventeen years of experience to promote the interests of committers,
- and to help the Eclipse Foundation evolve into something even greater.
- The Eclipse Foundation needs to continue its growth beyond its early role as the manager of the Eclipse Project,
- while not losing sight of this core technology.
- My role is not only to represent committers, but to ensure the Eclipse Foundation's success, growth, and long-term viability.
- I will strive to be a visible and approachable technical representative, who navigates the political landscape on your behalf.
- I feel I've demonstrated this with my long track record as your representative on the board.
- My background as a Canadian immigrant, born in the Netherlands, living in Berlin and now in Switzerland and having learned Deutsch,
- leading Eclipse's Modeling Project,
- sensitizes me to the fact that great communities span cultural, technical, national, and linguistic boundaries.
- I am particularly proud to have worked with the board on the formation of an Eclipse IDE Working Group to help ensure the
- long term viability of Eclipse's flagship technology stack.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- Cliche as it may sound, I believe strongly that helping is its own reward.
- I answer questions daily on a broad range of forums, not just those for my own projects,
- I fix Bugzillas quickly for the users of my software,
- and I develop cool new features and improve performance whenever possible.
- I endeavor to contribute constructively on the mailing lists.
- I am particularly proud of the
- <a href="https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Oomph_Installer" target="_blank">Oomph
- technology</a> Eike Stepper and I have developed to help ease the
- installation and configuration of development IDEs,
- making Eclipse projects more welcoming for contributors.
- I am also proud of having worked with the board to enable the redistribution of Java Runtime Environments
- as well of the creation of
- <a href="/justj/" target="_blank">JustJ</a> to make JREs available as p2 installable units.
- I am deeply honored to have received Eclipse's
- <a href="/org/press-release/20120326_awardwinners.php"
- target="_blank">Lifetime Contribution Award</a> in 2012.
- I contribute actively to the Platform, and have been a driving force in helping to improve the consistency and quality to the simultaneous release.
- I feel my track record as an Eclipse committer since 2002 is demonstrated with deeds not merely with words.
- I focus on being a positive influence and on balancing the drive to fix problems and to make improvements
- with recognition of the fact that real problems are difficult to solve and that what constitutes improvement is often highly subjective.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- I will continue to work hard to ensure that Eclipse's processes are the best they can be and are ever improving.
- I believe in minimal processes that focus on best practices and achievable, pragmatic results.
- For example, do we really need to list each contributor in each and every file to which they have contributed?
- No, this is tracked by Git commits.
- Can we increase the CQ threshold for contributions from 250 lines to 10,000? No, but we can increase it to 1000.
- Life is compromise.
- I can be counted upon as the person who will speak up diplomatically even when personal risk is involved.
- As your representative, I commit to working tirelessly to promote not only Eclipse itself but also the community that drives it.
- It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as your representative these past years.
- If reelected, you can count on the fact that Merks works for you.
