on Dec 1st, 2009Eclipse Community, Thanks!
There has been a lot of talk lately about what the Eclipse community is and is not doing. While I have no intention of going anywhere near that conversation, I did want to highlight something that makes me very proud to be part of this great community. This month, the Eclipse community raised over $3,000 for men’s health issues, and that’s awesome!
Of course I’m talking about Movember!
David Green led all Mommitters with $740 raised. Thanks David. A big thank-you also goes out to Kevin Barnes who replied to my tweet on Oct 30th and motivated me to start the Mommitters. This would not have happened without you Kevin. I also want to thank Kim Moir (and Kim Horne for the great suggestion) who helped get our Movember splash screen in the I-Builds.
All the Eclipse Mommitters also deserve a big thank-you for stepping up and growing a stache for charity. You all looked terrific.
But the biggest thanks goes out to all the community members who stepped up with their wallets and donated a few bucks to a great cause. Looking through the list of donations it was quite a diverse group of individuals. As a community there may be things we can improve, but I think we should be very proud of this accomplishment.

A big thanks to you too Ian for inspiring us all.
I had no idea how close to home it is until I started talking about it.
Best of all it was fun.
Thanks Ian also from my side. You did something meaningful and you made it funny at the same time.
Congratulations Ian and the rest of the Mommitters! Great job.
Thanks for leading the team! I think that we all did a great job of raising money and promoting awareness. It was a fun month.
Great job Ian, it was fun and I definitely see us doing it again next year
