Re: [bpmn2-modeler-dev] Replaced committers on BPMN2 Modeler and BPEL projects

   Hey Ralph -
         Thanks for the support - I like your ideas on documenting a short, cogent developer guide (could use that myself), streamlining bugzilla and normalizing the oyward facing home page
                       Best regards,
                           --Paul Leacu

Hi Wayne

I answered the mail from Bob he send to bpmn2-modeler-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx on Mar.21, and I did give my support for Paul in that mailing list. I think only Bob answered this email.

It is true, that we are weakly stuffed in the bpmn2 project. In my own project (imixs.org) we 'only' extend the BPMN2 plugin. In the BPMN2 project I participate mostly in the documentation, as well as in the Forum. Sometimes, I analyze Bugs. In the past I only supported Bob in some issues and left the commit of changes to him. This is why you can not see much commits.
I'm not familiar with the release processes in an Eclipse plugin project and so I can not give much support here.
I fully agree with the proposal for Paul. And once again I offer my support for him.

On issue, I think we can improve is the general developers/community guide.
We have written a lot of developer tutorials in the past (https://wiki.eclipse.org/BPMN2-Modeler/DeveloperTutorials). But these tutorials focus on how to extend the plugin project and not how to participate.
What is really missing, is a short guide how a developer can

- join the project,
- checkout the code,
- provide a patch
- discuss patches/releases

On the other hand we have in the Buzilla Tool (https://bugs.eclipse.org) currently 8 different groups for bpmn2 stuff. I think this is to much and makes it difficult to focus the open issues. I my eyes for the BPMN2 project one issue list would be sufficient. So maybe we can streamline the project.

Bob updated also the project home page (https://www.eclipse.org/bpmn2-modeler/) some moths ago. But maybe it is possible to update the page layout like in other projects  (https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.egit)?
I think we really need help to promote the project better. Recently I added the Eclipse BPMN2 project to the wikipedia page by myself:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Business_Process_Modeling_Notation_tools


Best Regards
Ralph

Greetings SOA PMC.

/cc BPEL and BPMN2 Modeler mailing lists

As you may be aware, Bob Brodt, the Project Lead and sole active committer on the BPMN2 Modeler and BPEL projects retired recently. Before he retired, he called for a vote on both of these projects to have colleague Paul Leacu replace him in the role. That call was unanswered in both of those project's mailing lists for more than a month. Upon investigation, it is evident that none of the committers from either project have been active in the Git Log for an extended period of time.

Based on this inactivity, I decided that this is an exceptional situation (as defined in section 4.6 of the Eclipse Development Process) and have retired all project committers. Further, I have initiated the paperwork process to install Paul as a committer.

Please let me know if you have concerns.

Thanks,

Wayne
