Mike Wilson: New Eclipse PMC lead

Those of you following the recent discussion in the Eclipse PMC mailing list will know that Philippe Mulet, our fearless leader is changing his focus some. Philippe has done a great job over the past couple years keeping the project and the PMC running smoothly.  PMC leadership is a hard, often administrative role and Philippe has done a great job.

Looking forward, the Eclipse PMC unanimously nominated and elected Mike Wilson to take over from Philippe. As per the Eclipse by-laws, the Board of Directors today confirmed Mike as the Eclipse PMC lead.

Mike is another of the Eclipse originals and has had a hand in many different parts of the project. Most recently he has been focusing on e4. His efforts at community building and making tangible progress are really showing fruit now with the first milestone of e4 and a great (and large) list of contributors.

I know that Mike will do a great job and am pleased that he has agreed to take over. It is an exciting time for the Eclipse project in many different ways. Thanks Philippe and congratulations Mike.
