Eclipse Community Awards 2012

Silenio has been part of the Eclipse Platform bedrock for many years as committer and then lead of the SWT widget framework that all of Eclipse on the desktop builds upon. He has continued to lead SWT in the past year, working towards porting to GTK+3, adding Windows 7 features, and much more. At the same time he co-developed an amazing new JavaScript editor for the Eclipse Orion project, which is already one of the fastest and most stable web-based source editors available. It runs on vast permutations of browsers, OSes, and devices from desktops to tablets, and is shipped to millions of people as part of Firefox.
