Election for Christian Heissenberger as Project Lead on Eclipse SDV Blueprints

I would like to nominate Christian Heissenberger (https://www.eclipse.org/user/chheis) to
co-lead the Eclipse SDV Blueprints.

Christian Heissenberger has been an active member of the BP and the general SDV community with strong
automotive background and network. He has participated in SDV hackathon in organizational roles
as well as an MC and a coach. This has resulted in direct contributions to the blueprints project.

Christian is also a very active committer. Hemade sustained public contributions to the
Eclipse SDV Blueprints project across blueprint implementations, advocating BPs, mentoring BP proposals,
documentation, website integration, CI/build maintenance, and public design
discussion. His work includes authoring and merging substantial code and
documentation changes for the new end-to-end vehicle signals blueprint,
integrating that blueprint into the public project website, and participating
constructively in technical and process discussions needed to land the work.
These contributions show consistent involvement in both delivering technical
content and maintaining the quality and usability of the project for the
broader community.

accordingly.

an incompatible dependency had been removed and replaced with an other
implementation.
https://github.com/eclipse-sdv-blueprints/e2e-vehicle-signals/pull/1#is…

for website changes and helping ensure the website PR was merged only after
the underlying blueprint contribution was ready.

These contributions show that Christian understands the Eclipse SDV
Blueprints project, works effectively in its open development process, and
demonstrates the leadership, technical judgment, collaboration, documentation discipline,
and process awareness expected of an Eclipse project lead.

It is my pleasure to nominate Christian as a project co-lead for the Eclipse SDV
Blueprints.
