+1 from me.

As I have said in our calls, I think
Andrew is a good fit. He brings a different perspective, is great to work
with, and brings new ideas and energy to any area I have seen him work.
Perhaps most importantly it helps us rebalance the Canadian/European ratio
on the PMC back in favour of the Canucks ;)

Subject	[eclipse-pmc] PMC members: Vote for new member.

PMC,

As you are aware, we have been discussing the need to increase the community
representation on the Eclipse PMC since Jeff McAffer left us. It is important
for us to represent the needs of the whole Eclipse community -- something
that Jeff definitely helped us with.

Over the last couple of weeks, we have been talking about the possibility
of adding Andrew Overholt to the PMC. He has a great community focus and
understands our processes (including builds) by virtue of his interactions
on behalf of the Linux community. In addition, his company, Red Hat, recently
contributed a new resource to work on SWT for GTK 3, who will hopefully
become a new committer on the SWT team.

Since there seems to be agreement amongst ourselves that Andrew would be
an excellent addition, and Andrew himself is keen, I would like to call
for your formal +1's to add Andrew Overholt as a new PMC member.

Thanks,
McQ._______________________________________________
