Today we are pleased to announce the results of the Eclipse Foundation Sustaining Member and Committer Member elections for representatives to our Board of Directors.

Congratulations to Farah Papaioannou and Gunnar Wagenknecht who were voted into the Board as Sustaining representatives, and to Torkild Ulvoy Resheim who is returning in that position.

Chris Aniszczyk, Dani Megert, and Ed Merks will be returning as Committer representatives. We're looking forward to working with you on the Eclipse Foundation Board of Directors, effective April 1.

We would like to thank Mark Brewer and Martijn Verburg for running for election. The Eclipse Foundation would also like to recognize the contributions of Tracy Miranda who will be leaving the Eclipse Board. The Eclipse community owes Tracy a great deal for her many hours of effort on the Eclipse Board.

As a reminder, the Foundation updated its Committer and Contribution Agreements last fall, and is in the process of updating these agreements with all members, committers, and contributors.  For a reminder of the motivation, please revisit Mike’s blog.

We have been reaching out in earnest to our members, committers, and contributors since the beginning of February and the update process is well underway. We are requesting that everyone we have communicated with to please respond and we would like to thank those who have updated their agreements already.

Should anyone have any questions or concerns, please to not hesitate to contact license@eclipse.org.
