Re: [eclipse.org-architecture-council] Draft of Eclipse Development Process 2015 for your review

Hi Wayne

Sorry for the late response. I was busy with other stuff.

For a serious review I would like to see a diff between the current EDP and the proposed one. Can you provide that?

Greetings Architecture Council.

I've completed a draft of the update to the Eclipse Development Process for 2015 [1].

I'll admit that I had to scale back my ambition on this, but I think that it does provide some valuable incremental improvements. The list of bugs that track the changes are listed at the bottom of the document. I've also provided a direct link [2].

There is a link to a "diff" on the main document. I'm not all that happy with how it renders, but it should at least point you to the changes.

The more significant changes are these:

415620: [EDP] Streamline review requirements

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=415620

I think that this makes reviews better, though it is really just an acknowledgment of practices that we've been following for some time. Hopefully it will at least make reviews seem less scary.

471367: [EDP] Include "Freedom of Action" requirement in the EDP

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=471367

This probably the only new requirement in this draft. It effectively says that projects are required to use EF-provided Git and download servers.

477238: [EDP] Generalize the expected output of projects

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=477238

I tried to make the document more inclusive of things that aren't necessarily frameworks and tools. This is probably where I need the most help from you to ensure that the changes that I made are right and that I didn't miss anything. Of course, we can't change the quote from the bylaws.

I would very much like to bring this to the board for their approval this quarter which, I believe, means that we need to provide it to them for review by mid-October.

Your attention is appreciated.

Thanks,

Wayne
