I am pleased to announce a proposal for a new project to be created under the Eclipse Runtime (RT) top-level project.

This proposal recommends the creation of a new project called "Enterprise Modules" [1], nicknamed Gemini, to provide a home for subprojects that integrate existing Java enterprise technologies into module-based platforms, and/or that implement enterprise specifications on module-based platforms. Gemini will be a parent ("container project" as defined by the Eclipse Development Process) for several subprojects ("operating projects" as defined by the Eclipse Development Process) that provide the specific implementations/integrations. Gemini will itself be a subproject of the Eclipse Runtime Project and will strive to leverage functionality of existing projects. We encourage and request additional participation and input from any and all interested parties in the Eclipse community.

This proposal is in the Project Proposal Phase (as defined in the Eclipse Development Process) and is written to declare its intent and scope. We solicit additional participation and input from the Eclipse community. Please send all feedback to the Gemini Eclipse Forum [2] or eclipse.gemini newsgroup [3].

Note: the forum and newsgroup should be available within 48 hours.

Thanks,

Wayne

- If you're using pserver for builds, you may want to switch to SSH to avoid possible sync issues

In order to provide a better CVS service to committers, anonynous pserver CVS will be served from a shadow copy of the live CVS data starting December 11/2009.  This means that pserver CVS will not be in perfect sync with SSH CVS.  This change is required to solve/mitigate two distinct problems:

1. Anonynous CVS (pserver) can lock files for long periods of time. Tagging large trees may be difficult.
2. Numerous pserver connections can generate noticeable disk activity, thus making SSH access slower.

EXCEPTION: anonymous pserver CVS from within the Eclipse.org firewall will remain unchanged (ie, it will be served from the live data).  This includes dev.eclipse.org itself, build.eclipse.org, and all the project vservers.

Please note that we're not trying to make it more difficult to access pserver CVS.  We simply want to ensure that anonymous requests do not block committer operations.

Please see http://bugs.eclipse.org/293355 for more information, or to discuss the issue.

1. CVS/SVN slow

You may have noticed that CVS and SVN have been slowing down lately. The disk arrays hosting these files are very busy, partly because the entire world is doing all kinds of stuff with anonymous (pserver) CVS.  Because many teams use pserver for builds, I cannot offer a better class of service for committers.

I am proposing a solution on this bug: http://bugs.eclipse.org/293355  Essentially, I want to use a shadow (delayed) copy of CVS for pserver access. Please take a moment to read it and/or comment, because something will have to change to fix this.


2. Nightly/Integration builds on Amazon AWS

As you may know, we try to exclude Nightly and I-builds from being mirrored, since they make our mirror size very large and require lots of bandwidth to mirror (but get very few downloads).  However, downloading a Nighly build from download.eclipse.org can be challenging.

I have since altered the way we sync to our Amazon AWS service.  We now sync every 2 hours to AWS, and AWS contains everything on download.eclipse.org.  If you need a Nightly build, getting it from AWS is your best bet.


3. git mirror of Eclipse CVS

In bug 280583 I am working on providing a read-only git mirror of Eclipse projects.  Part of the discussion revolves around structuring the git repositories, and I will likely be using the project meta-data to map project<->cvs directories.

Please take a moment to ensure your 'source repository' meta-data is current in the Portal.


As usual, thanks for your help!

Denis

Eclipse is planning a new series of DemoCamps during November.  DemoCamps are events where local Eclipse communities can meet up in cities around the world for networking, and to demo the latest Eclipse technology.

  

We would like to encourage Eclipse member companies and Eclipse committers to help organize DemoCamps.  The Eclipse Foundation will provide up to $500 USD to sponsor each event.  If you are interested in organizing, please see http://www.eclipse.org/community/democamp/organizedemocamp.php for more details.  Also, there are several DemoCamps scheduled already that could use help recruiting demos and attendees – check out the list at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_DemoCamps_November_2009.

 

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Greetings,

Although it has been available for some time, I'd like to officially announce the availability of the new Eclipse Community Forums site.

    http://www.eclipse.org/forums/

This site replaces the simple Newsgroup Web Interface that we have been using for years.  Our goal with this site is to make it easier for users and newcomers to participate in Eclipse-related discussions.  So far we've had great feedback from users who have been using the forums.

What you need to know:

- We're not calling them 'newsgroups' anymore; they are forums.  We'll be updating the terminology on our website on an ongoing basis.

- The NNTP server will not go away. In fact, the Forums are nothing more than a fancy front-end to NNTP.

- Although the old Web Interface can no longer be used to post, it will still work to display news articles to preserve links.

- We are no longer creating HTML archives of newsgroup posts.  The existing archives will live on to preserve links, but new posts to NNTP will no longer be archived.  If you wish to link to a post, please use the forum.

- There are still a couple of quirks with the forum software, specifically with attachments.  We will resolve these issues as quickly as possible.

- The description of your project's Forum is maintained in the Portal 'newsgroup' metadata.

- You can link to your project forum like this:  http://www.eclipse.org/forums/eclipse.technology.phoenix

I hope your community will enjoy the new Forums site!  If you have any questions, please let me know.


Denis

Declaration for the B3 Project

Eclipse B3 (http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/b3/) is a proposed open source project under the PDE Incubator project. The purpose of the project will be to develop a new generation of Eclipse technology to simplify software build and assembly. B3 will be a complement and potential successor to the PDE Build component.

You are invited to comment on and/or join the project. Please send all feedback to the http://www.eclipse.org/newsportal/thread.php?group=eclipse.b3 newsgroup.

Note: the newsgroup has not yet been created, but should be available within 48 hours. Thanks.

Hello all,

Below is the schedule of upcoming project reviews. Review Calls take place only if an Eclipse member, using the project's Communication Channel (given below), requests that the call be held. Otherwise, the EMO will decide the outcome of the review based on the docuware and community feedback.

The request for the Review Call must be posted at least 24 hours before the scheduled review time. The EMO will post a message on the Communication Channel stating whether or not the Review Call will be held. The EMO will also post the results of the review on the Communication Channel. 

Project Reviews

Wed, 23 Sep 2009COSMOS1.1 Release Review (docuware, project log) at 1500 UTC

Reviews are held on a conference call for Eclipse Members. Members (and committers are members) are directed to the MyFoundation portal for the call-in information. If you do not have access to the portal, send email to EMO to request the call information.

Communication Channel: cosmos-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx
