The Eclipse Test & Performance Tools Platform Project is managed by a Project Management Committee (PMC). The work of the Top Level Project is organized into Projects, each with its own Project Lead who is responsible for its success. Where appropriate, larger Projects may be further divided into Subsystems, each with its own Lead.

This page lists those individuals expected to comprise the PMC or to lead currently planned Projects. As with any Eclipse Project, this Project will be a meritocracy. We will welcome to the Project all participants who are able to make the requisite commitment and contribution, and will assign responsibility accordingly over time.

The initial Eclipse Test & Performance Tools Platform PMC will be chosen from the appropriate contributors at the project kickoff meeting.

Our email addresses are show below in "disguised" form as a spam control measure. Usually, we ask that you do not email us directly. Instead join the newsgroup eclipse.test-and-performance (NOTE: It is password protected for spam-protection. If you don't already have an Eclipse news server password you will need to get one ). When the Project is created, a mailing list will be set up for developers to get involved in the Project or Subsystems.
