We'll use this bug to track the release We require IP Team approval of the IP Log. We require PMC approval of the release and review materials. There's help regarding releases in the handbook. https://www.eclipse.org/projects/handbook/#release
NOTE: this will be combined release/graduation review.
(In reply to Wayne Beaton from comment #1) > NOTE: this will be combined release/graduation review. Liviu, I see that you've already marked this as a graduation review. But you've also marked it as "restructuring". What are you planning to restructure? (Restructuring reviews are for changing the nature of a project, e.g., changing scope or moving significant bits of code from one project to another)
Alexander is working now on splitting the plug-ins into core/ui/branding separate plug-ins. I considered this to match the "restructuring" tag, but if splitting plug-ins within the same project does not match this, we can remove this tag.

For future reference, our primary concern when it comes to a restructuring review is to give the membership an opportunity to weigh in when we're moving intellectual property between projects. Restructuring within a project is an internal matter (just make sure that you're communicating implications of changes with your adopters).
I've scheduled the review to conclude on December 9/2020.
The IP Log is approved.
We're still waiting on PMC approval. Once we have this, the review should be considered successful. That is, don't wait to hear it from me; when you see the +1 from the PMC, you're good-to-go.

This is standard practice. Strictly speaking, you've contributed a "release candidate" to the simultaneous release (the binaries that get built out of the simultaneous release repository are also release candidates). That release candidate will automagically become the "GA" release bits on December 16 when the simultaneous release goes live. Theoretically, the PMC could say no and we'll have to unwind the project bits out of the simultaneous release builds, but this is extremely unlikely (unprecedented). If we thought that there was any real risk that the PMC might say no, we'd have started mitigation weeks or months ago.
Jens has sent +1 for the release now.
> Strictly speaking, you've contributed a "release candidate" Right. Thank you for the clarification. This also matches my workflow. All release candidates are published in folders like '/embed-cdt/release-candidates/6.0.0-202012080907', and the final release will be published in '/embed-cdt/releases/6.0.0' at release day.

First let me say that from my point of view the reviews should be a great opportunity to get additional feedback and I generally value any suggestion/critique that may help improve the quality and usability of the project. So, if the review would reveal a major problem, I'd be the first to ask to unwind it from SimRel. However, if the review would fail due to unrealistic bureaucratic procedures (like for example "one year of incubation phase is not enough") and the project would be kicked out or negatively affected in any way, that would most probably trigger retiring the project from the Eclipse Foundation.
PMC Approval: https://www.eclipse.org/lists/iot-pmc/msg07961.html I declare this review successful. I have marked the project as "mature". Please continue with your release.
Thank you, Wayne. Highly appreciated.
