Re: [eclipse.org-architecture-council] Feedback wanted: the Eclipse development program
|
Hey!
I really like the overall idea behind this (EF spending some money to fund development), so I strongly support that effort.
The described process looks sound and well thought-out. However, it feels to me a bit heavyweight and tends towards old-fashioned contractor work. The process of sizing the individual items, putting a price tag on them, start some bidding, etc, sounds like a lot of work to get someone to work on those items. But maybe this isn’t as much overhead in practice as it sounds from the description…
I feel like I would prefer something more lightweight and trust-based, something like contract a budget of time from good people that we know/trust, that are committers in that area, etc, and use a lightweight agile approach to feed them with work items during that contracted period of time. Would keep the budget rock solid and clear upfront and guarantee at the same time that we get the most and best out of this money.
Just my 2 cents…
Cheers,
-Martin
