Also note that currently we have Eclipse committers among us. Myself, Igor, Benjamin, Milos, and Jesse. Herve, Kristian and Stephen will be as part of the Aether proposal. At one point Brett and Carlos were as well. Additionally Sonatype, Cloudbees (Stephen) and Intuit (yourself) are members at Eclipse.
