* From the [[Architecture Council/Bylaws|Eclipse Bylaws]] section 7.2: ''"responsible for the development, articulation, and maintenance of the Eclipse Platform Architecture"'' (as defined in the then current Eclipse Development Process).

The Eclipse Architecture Council (EAC) serves the Community by identifying and tackling any issues that hinder Eclipse's '''continued technological success and innovation, widespread adoption, and future growth'''. This involves technical architecture as well as open source processes and social aspects. Comprising the finest technical leaders from all community stakeholders, it is the council's goal to keep the '''projects''' successful and healthy, the '''processes''' simple and smooth, and the '''communities''' vibrant and cohesive because this will benefit us all.

* From the [http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/development_process.php#4_8_Councils Development Process]: ''"... and ensuring the Principles of the Development Process <b>through mentorship</b>."''

* From the [http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/architecture-council.php EAC charter]: ''"responsible for the long-term technical health of the Eclipse platforms and frameworks (...) involves itself in inter- and intra-project architecture (...) <b>and open source process</b> (...) <b>through discussion during its meetings, mentoring and consultation</b>."''
+
  
The EAC is involved in both technical and process aspects because the social and process structure of a project has been shown to have a direct impact on the technical quality of its extensible frameworks and exemplary tools. See also [http://runnerwhocodes.blogspot.com/2008/01/introducing-eclipse-architecture.html Darin Swanson's Blog] about the EAC. This role for the Architecture Council represents a new (revitalized?) role for the Architecture Council and thus there is not a lot of history to build on.
