Computer Associates has expanded its participation in the Eclipse Foundation, becoming a Strategic Developer. CA takes a more central leadership role in the Foundation's enterprise management tools project. CA executive Rob Levy has also joined the Foundation's Board of Directors.

CA is supporting Eclipse in keeping with its long history of helping to advance industry standards in enterprise management, and as part of its larger commitment to open source technology. CA will propose and lead a strategic enterprise management tools project that will help advance the goals of Eclipse, working in a collaborative environment to best support the needs of the open source community.

"We are pleased to see CA expanding its commitment to the success of the Eclipse platform and the open source community," said Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation. "CA's enterprise management software expertise and leadership is a tremendous benefit to advancing the Eclipse universal development platform."

Rob Levy, CA senior vice president of development for AllFusion life cycle management solutions, will serve as a director on the Eclipse Foundation's Board. Levy has 25 years of software development and IT management experience.

"CA is taking an increasingly active role in the industry's most important open source initiatives," said Levy. "Our expanded participation in the Eclipse Foundation initiatives at a strategic level will help ensure that the capabilities of the Eclipse platform are fully leveraged to optimize management of today's highly complex enterprise computing environments."

CA joined the Eclipse Foundation in December 2004 by contributing to the Eclipse Test and Performance Tools Platform (TPTP) Top-Level Project. CA was appointed by the TPTP Project Management Committee (PMC) as the TPTP Monitoring Tools Project Lead. Earlier, CA worked with the Eclipse community to help satisfy reporting requirements by providing a single point of control for change management and automated resource tracking through integration of CA's AllFusion Harvest Change Manager with Eclipse 3.0.
