Hi
David,
In last week's
Architecture Council call, we discussed the current state of affairs
regarding
e4. We concluded
that in order for e4 to gain momentum, it will be extremely important
to
make the wider
Community aware... and for Eclipse Projects to start becoming "e4
ready".
All this is still
quite some time away, but we figured that the marketing buzz around
releasing
Helios would be a
great time to make an announcement that is very widely heard. If
we
could announce at
that time that next year's release train is going to be "e4 ready" if
not
"based on e4", that
would help a lot.
Could you start
seeding that idea in the Planning Council... what the PC members
think
about potentially
making "e4 readiness" or "testing against e4" a must-have for
next
year's train? What
people think about promoting the EPP Packages to build against /
deliver on top of
e4?
What would be a good
avenue for "feeding back" the PC's thoughts into the AC?
BTW, planning for a
joint PC and AC (==StAC?) face-to-face session at EclipseCon
2010
seems like a good
idea... who could schedule this?
Thanks,
Martin
