Hi DSDP project leads,
Quick and urgent email on the Europa
Train.
1.
I am volunteering Ted Williams to any of the DSDP
projects that would like to get on the Europa train. Ted is on TM/DD
now, and I spoke with Mika at the Eclipse Summit about Ted helping with
MTJ. Shigeki and Mark, I’m extending the offer to you. Europa
is important because it gets your projects visible to a larger community.
2.
We have finalized the dates for the Europa
milestones (link above). I am assuming that all DSDP projects are at
the +2 level (dependent on the Platform and on at least one other project above
the Platform), so look at the +2 dates.
3.
We have revised the “Musts” for projects
to be on the train (link above). The Musts are what each project
needs to do to be qualified for the Europa train. I think the Musts
currently listed are reasonable, but we should discuss in our November PMC
meeting.
Clearly the biggest cost for most project is building and
update site population. If Ted is able to coordinate that for the
projects, I am hoping this is easier for all of you.
Mika, Shigeki, and Mark – please respond if
you’re on board. Also, please point out any “Musts”
that you don’t like. Perhaps we can pursue exceptions where it
makes sense (like signing JAR’s on eRCP).
