Re: [dsdp-mtj-dev] Change in MTJ committers
|
Christian,
Thanks for communicating the changes. Even more importantly, thanks for
your leadership of the project. EclipseME is a much better tool now as
MTJ than it was before MTJ.
Gustavo, Diego and David,
Thanks so much for your hard work on the project. You did an incredible
job of developing MTJ into a strong Eclipse project, all while
maintaining a strong open-source community and significant transparency
into the underlying process. I am especially grateful for your hard
work to handle the day-to-day logistics of being an Eclipse project and
all that that entails. I hope your next assignment is enjoyable and
challenging!

Hello MTJ,
as many of you know Gustavo, Diego, David, and in the past Hugo, are
employed as contractors to Motorola in Brazil and the MTJ project
benefited from their full-time assignment as "Motorola sponsored"
committers to this project.
I would like to take this opportunity and formally recognize and thank
them for all the great work they have delivered:
They helped to re-energize the MTJ project, refactor and merge the
code-base with the EclipseME code (thanks Craig!!), and they have been
instrumental in creating the MTJ 1.0 release and the Pulsar package
release this year.
Without their help, none of that could have happened, and I have been
incredibly lucky and proud to have worked with them during this phase.
Unfortunately this team has now been assigned to a different project,
and it will no longer be their full-time job to work as MTJ committers.
As you fellow Eclipse contributors know, being an Eclipse committer is
not only a "day time" job, it is a personal commitment, a badge of
honor and a pleasure to be part of this elite group of skilled open
source developers.
Fortunately, all of them have expressed interest to stay involved in
MTJ as "individual committers", and are working with the Eclipse
foundation on the transitioning of their paper work.
But - What this means for the project:
- Their Motorola email addresses will change: I asked each
individually to communicate their new contact information to the
mailing list (guys: PLEASE be aware of spammers, and "obscure" your
email address when you post them on this public forum!)
- They are now doing this on their "own time". (And I'm no longer
their boss... ;) ): So, please be aware that the turn-around times on
bugfixes may be taking a bit longer.
Finally, I want to remind everyone, NOW would be a great time for new
committers to step up and join the project.
:)
Just to clarify - I am planning to stay engaged as Project Lead for
MTJ, and I am sure we will remain on the release train, but - we just
lost a large part of our "full-time" developers, and we will have to
take this into account for our 2010 plans.
Thanks again to Gustavo, Diego, David and Hugo for their past
contributions, and I am honored to know that you plan to stay on the
project on your own time in the future, even without this being your
"official job".
Christian Kurzke
MTJ Project Lead
