Election for Torbjörn Svensson as Committer on Eclipse CDT (C/C++ Development Tooling)

Torbjörn has lots of knowledge of Eclipse CDT and has been working in the embedded space for many years. He has contributed many improvements over the last few years, including a big push this year to cleanup and improve large parts of the code base, especially the natives.

In addition to the many (80+) commits already in CDT, he participates in reviews, discussions on the mailing list and identifying and reviewing old bugzilla.

I would be delighted to have Torbjörn join the Eclipse CDT team to continue to improve CDT, keep it maintainable and improve it in the future.

Here is some of the work that Torbjörn has done:
