- Marc-Andre has been involved in 475 bugs since 2014
alone, and more than what bugzilla is willing to report
since he got involved with Eclipse.
- He is a committer on 3 projects: CDT, Linux Tools, and
Trace Compass.
- In 2014, he had Gerrit patches merged to at least 14
different projects:
Linux Tools, Mylyn, CDT, SWT, PDE, Equinox, Platform,
EPP, MPC, EGit, Trace Compass, PTP, Oomph. This list
does not include projects that don't use Gerrit to which
he contributes also.
- He updates wikis, project pages, deals with release
engineering, makes sure Hudson/Git/Gerrit/Sonar work
properly, reviews patches, answers questions, updates
the Simultaneous release repository, tests the EPP
packages, tests our project on Windows, Linux and Mac,
tests the newest versions of Eclipse on the newest OS
versions, always tries to improves our process, works to
make it easier to contribute to our project, and much
more.
- He has two talks accepted at EclipseCon.
- He's an all around nice guy that is very modest. I
hope he doesn't get mad with me for sending this.
