Re: [eclipse.org-architecture-council] Votin' on JSRs

[Wayne Beaton <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Eclipse Foundation occasionally asks the Architecture Council for advice or input on a variety matters.

The process in this case is pretty simple. Mike represents Eclipse on the JCP; as part of that representation, he is required to vote on various JSRs. Unfortunately, it is impossible for him to have technical depth in every single subject area so we look to the experts (i.e. the Architecture Council) to help.

We're not expecting any AC members to invest time in learning anything about these JSRs. What we are looking for is advice that you may have on JSRs that are invested in.

Does this make sense?

Hi Benjamin,

 

The AC homepage has some “About the AC” bits that might be interesting for you, based on the Eclipse Bylaws cited in “About the AC”:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Architecture_Council

 

More practically, you’re simply invited to follow the mailing list, participate in discussions sharing your experience, and be open to taking an action items once in a while when they come up in a discussion.

If you’re active as a project’s mentor, you should be informed about how that project is doing, be ready to help that project, and inform that project about relevant news at Eclipse.

 

I’m typically sending a welcome E-Mail based on the following template to new members:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Architecture_Council/Templates/Welcome

 

A bit more specifically, the “Dormant Status” explains how we feel about neglecting the simple ask for participation:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Architecture_Council/Dormant_Status

 

We’ve never defined a process for voting on JSR’s – I’ll let Wayne or Mike comment on what they expect there, but I guess it’s simply an invitation to you as an experienced member of the Eclipse Community;

It allows you to influence Java when you feel like you have a vested interest in something; one of the benefits of being an AC member.

 

Does that help or have you been asking for anything more specific ?

 

Thanks,

Martin

Hi,

 

Is there a page somewhere on the wiki or any kind of quick explanation of what is expected from the AC members, for the newbies like myself? :)

 

Thanks!
