[ecf-dev] Google SOC 2009 wrap up and next steps
|
Hi Folks,
ECF has been very fortunate to have a fantastic set of Google Summer of
Code projects for 2009
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_ECF_Projects_for_2009
These projects have all been flaming successes :), and I wanted to thank
the students involved (Holger, Nuwan, Harshana, and Markus) for
proposing the projects and doing an *outstanding* job with the work this
year. We've had great success in the past with gsoc projects (e.g.
Mustafa, Remy, Marcelo, Moritz's work), and this year is terrific also.
Now that the main part of the gsoc project work is over, we are going to
1) Get the results of these projects (i.e. the code) into ECF proper as
quickly as possible. This requires Contribution Questionnaires be
created for each contribution/student for their respective codebase.
With the permission of each student and their mentor, I will do this
myself over the next few weeks. I've just created a CQ for the REST API
[1]. After consulting with the other students (and their mentors) and
getting an final snapshot of their code, I will do the same thing for
Nuwan's and Harshana's project work.
2) Each student that wishes to become a committer on ECF...to take the
work forward, fix bugs, add enhancements, and otherwise contribute to
the ongoing distribution/release as part of ECF...may become a
committer. As long as they agree, I would like the ECF committer
mentor for each student to initiate a vote to add the student as
committer (along with some small amount of background info as is usual
for nominating new committers via the portal). Then the vote can take
place over the next few weeks.
Thanks all again for the work! And I'm looking forward to having all
this good work distributed as part of ECF soon.
Scott

only be accessible to ECF committers as per EF policy). The associated
ECF enhancement request for this is here (accessible by everyone):
