Eclipse Community Awards 2012

Founded in late 2004, the Eclipse Communication Framework (ECF) has been a continuous and active Eclipse community member for years. ECF involves the community in many ways and regularly takes on new sub-projects. For example, the recently launched ECF documentation project aims to close documentation gaps with help from the community. ECF is also known as a particularly student friendly project. Thanks to its committers and docs, it provides a low barrier to entry and flat learning curves. ECF's support for new contributers is exceptional. In fact, almost all ECF committers joined ECF as their first Eclipse project - and many among them also joined other Eclipse projects, contributing even more to the Eclipse community.
