Every year we take time to thank people in the Eclipse community who have helped us during the release. The file to update this year is development/acknowledgements_4_5.php in http://git.eclipse.org/c/www.eclipse.org/eclipse.git Please attach a patch or text if you don't have commit rights on that file (but I think all project leads to). Here is the 4.4 acknowledgments page as a reference: http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/acknowledgements_4_4.php Since this is a web page, we could technically update at any time. But let's set a self-imposed deadline of June 10. That is three weeks from now, which will be a few days after our RC4 (final) deliverable, and two weeks before formal release. Over next week or two, I'll work on getting some "commit reports" from Git, for both "Active Committers" and "Active Community Authors" (Just to make sure we don't miss mentioning anyone). To cross-reference, the bug where we drove this process last year is bug 436365.

http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/acknowledgements_4.4.php works. David, could you please rename the acknowledgements_4.*.php to *_4_*.php and add a redirect from the oddly-named acknowledgements_4.4.php to the version with the established naming?
David, as discussed, please add a section for Luis Bernardo and the Batik team.

Sorry, no, this was changed deliberately to use '.', (see bug 436365 comment 38) and is an attempt to get consistency with "everything else" where we use <major>.<minor> instead of <major>_<minor>. I see no advantage to leaving it as underscore, except for the occasional copy/paste error ... which should be over soon.
Can someone add the following for PDE: The Plug-in Development Environment team would like to thank the numerous contributors who continue to improve the component every release. We received many well written bug reports and the community was quick to verify our fixes. Special thanks to Lars Vogel who contributed in several areas of PDE, reviewed contributions of others and was voted in as a committer during the release. We thank Markus Keller for demonstrating high quality bug reporting and answering our many expert level questions about JDT and Platform. We appreciate all of the value our community adds to PDE and would specifically like to thank Brian de Alwis (Specify API baselines via target0, Peter Schulz (Edit software dialog in targets), Tony McCrary (replacing the entire icon set), Olivier Provoust (e4 integration into wizards), Simon Scholz (wildcard support in dialogs) and Pragya Gaur (huge number of polish fixes).
JDT Core would like to add the following: The JDT Core team would like to thank everyone who has helped us to improve quality by testing and filing good bug reports. We would like to thank Stephan Hermann for his continued support with the huge number of fixes committed. We had two major contributions for Mars which resulted in the "greatfix" tag - Thanks to a)John Glassmyer for the set of bugs related to import rewrite consistency and cleanup and b) Mateusz Matula for formatter redesign. We would also like to thank Alexander Kurtakov, Ed Merks, Harry Terkelsen,Kenneth Olson, Szymon Ptaszkiewicz, Terry Parker, Ulrich Grave and Vladimir Piskarev. A special appreciation goes to Olivier Thomann for continuing to support the team.
(Adapted from bug 436365 comment #15) If your Git Author fields are correct, then this command summarizes code contributors to Mars: $ git shortlog -sn R4_4..master - add -e to see email addresses as well - use just -n to see commit messages as well I don't think it makes sense to mention every contributor who added a single line of code, but this query should help you getting started with a list of value-adders.
(In reply to Markus Keller from comment #7) > (Adapted from bug 436365 comment #15) > If your Git Author fields are correct, then this command summarizes code > contributors to Mars: > $ git shortlog -sn R4_4..master Great tip, thanks. I used it to create a unique list of names with the following: git log R4_4..master --pretty=format:"%an" | sort -u For eclipse.platform.ui.tools, which is new, I used --since: git log --since "July 2014" --pretty=format:"%an" | sort -u Once I had the list of contributors, I created a comma separated list based on the following command. sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/, /g' AlternativeThankyou > I don't think it makes sense to mention every contributor who added a single > line of code, but this query should help you getting started with a list of > value-adders. IMHO it is good to thank everyone, even a typo was an effort from the contributor.

Eclipse Platform Dani Am I a component? ;-)

(In reply to Sarika Sinha from comment #10) > JDT Debug: Done. > Platform Debug: Done. > Platform Ant: Done. (In reply to Dani Megert from comment #14) > Eclipse Platform > Dani > > Am I a component? ;-) Accidental paste? Introduced with commit f4a354dc8cb7004ecec9070acd30802c588f1087 (May want to check, Lars ... did you intend something else, or probably accident and already corrected what you intended). It was actually hard to find ... a stray "text node" between two rows of the committers table, that is displayed somewhere unrelated to the table ... don't you love HTML. :) = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = I think this completes all the component main sections, except for Equinox. (But, feel free to edit/add or correct anything I pasted incorrectly. I hope to work on the "committers list" for the bottom of the page Monday night.
Created attachment 254513 [details] Contributors This attachment has 5 files, one per "subproject" in Eclipse Platform (matching what is in acknowledgments). But, in each file, the contributors are listed "by repository" and sorted by "number of commits". I generated these using Markus's suggestion with Lars clarification on the one new repository: git shortlog -sne R4_4..master git shortlog -sne --since 7/1/2014 (in a little bash script, to group repositories, by subproject). These lists will be useful as sanity check, to see if anyone deserves special "thanks", that has not already been covered. (Some of you, I'm sure, have already generated similar lists).
Releng needs to thank the "e4Build" guy, he is almost as active as David. ;-)
Created attachment 254514 [details] sorted list, per subproject The data in this zip is similar to the first one, but has been "sorted" and "duplicate names" removed. Hence, the "numbers" are not accurate of total contributions ... I should have removed those ... since when removing dups based on names it keeps just one line. Plus, some "dups" might still be in the files, if contributions had slight variations in name or email. But, these files, would be most useful to look at when updating the "committers" section of each of our sub-projects.
Ok, team, I was hoping to come up with initial "list of committers" in each subproject, but would now like to delegate that to project leads. The reason being that a) it would be very tedious for me, and I am running out of time; and, just as important, b) project leads would still have to carefully review the lists to make sure they were accurate, so ... I think just easier if project leads just do it yourselves. When assessing "active committers", it should be based on at least one commit during the mars time-frame (which means, people just from the provided lists). AND It means anyone who was a committer, at any time. Could have just been the last month of the release ... maybe just the first month of the release. Put another way, this is not a "legal document", there is no need to make sure a persons "commit" was made during the time they were officially a committer. Today's Wednesday ... May at please ask these lists be completed by Friday? You can just paste the list here, and I'll handle putting in "html format" for the document itself, if anyone prefers that. If you edit the document directly, please make a note here once you are done. Thanks,
(In reply to David Williams from comment #19) > Ok, team, I was hoping to come up with initial "list of committers" in each > subproject, but would now like to delegate that to project leads. Any tips how I can get my list of platform.ui committers? I know they are listed at https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/eclipse.platform.ui/who but the list from this website is not easily to be converted to committer ids.

I know they are > listed at https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/eclipse.platform.ui/who but > the list from this website is not easily to be converted to committer ids. Committer ids? I would have assumed you'd just go by people's names? Or, are you talking about those few cases where people didn't have their configuration setup correctly? The only thing I know, to go from 'id' to "real name" is to use 'finger'. I'm pretty sure an committer can execute it, even without a shell account, such as with shell account: finger lvogel without shell accoutn ssh david_williams@build.eclipse.org finger lvogel (And, if you get "no such user", then, they are not a committer!) If you really want a list of committer IDs that are part of a component, you need to know the "group" that the component has been assigned (which is usually the group that "owns" the git repository. Then you can getent group <groupid> such as getent group eclipse.platform.ui OR ... you can ask the webmasters? I think this stuff with "groups" is a little out-dated, that in reality, to check permissions on Git, they use an LDap database ... and ... I do not know how to acess the data there (or, if it's even possible). But, I think in 99.9 percent of the cases, the name in the lists I provided would be all you need. HTH
(In reply to David Williams from comment #21) > Committer ids? I would have assumed you'd just go by people's names? According to the Git logs the following platfrom UI committers never committed anything. That does not sound right, does it? Chris Austin Susan McCourt Hao Zhang Based on for example: git shortlog --author "Hao"

Just learned that I have https://dev.eclipse.org/portal/myfoundation/portal/portal.php and there a link: [manage] inactive committers on the project That makes it easy to provive the list of active committers.
(In reply to David Williams from comment #19) > You can just paste the list here Here is the list of active SWT committers: Arun Thondapu Alexander Kurtakov Lakshmi Shanmugam Leo Ufimtsev Lina Kemmel Markus Keller Niraj Modi Sravan Kumar Lakkimsetti Thanks!

You probably don't mean this literally, but some care may be needed, as I think the definition of "active" in that listing is a source commit within last 6 months? Whereas in our acknowledgment page, we want "for past year" (basically). But, yes, probably provides easier format to get "list of names" and would help narrow down the list of who to look at closely. Thanks,

Please take a look at what I have so far, especially for Platform Committers: https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/acknowledgements_4.5.php Since people were reporting Platform Committers component by component, I thought maybe it would be a good idea to list them that way in acknowledgments. But, except where people tell me exactly what to put ... I am guessing a little. The ones I have still to add are "Platform Text" and "Platform Debug". Or ... if the preferences is for only one "Platform" list, I could combine what people have listed here. Preferences?
I'm going to consider my work here done. There could be some who want to still add or edit acknowledgments, and/or check committer lists. In particular, I "filled in" PDE and Equinox committer lists as best as I could tell. I IM'd with Tom about his list, but might still be tweaks to make? And, PDE ? Vikas wasn't online, so if I missed anyone, apologies, and feel free to correct.
Hi David, For PDE committers, Curtis Windatt should be added.
