[eclipse.org-membership-at-large] Proposal to establish the Eclipse Open VSX Working Group
All;

The Eclipse Foundation is pleased to announce the proposal to establish the Eclipse Open VSX Working Group [1].

The proposed charter [2] for this working group outlines the overarching goal of this working group is to ensure the continued sustainability, integrity, evolution and adoption of the Open VSX Registry [3]. In particular, it is formed to provide governance, guidance, and funding for the communities that support the implementation, deployment, maintenance and adoption of the Eclipse Foundation’s Open VSX Registry.

To this end the working group aims to foster the long term viability of the Open VSX Registry as both a vibrant open source project as well as a stable hosted registry service by:

  • Supporting and guiding relevant open source projects that support the Registry
  • Providing governance, resources, and support to enable the hosting, operation, maintenance and evolution the Open VSX Registry
  • Establishing and driving a funding model that enables this working group and its community to operate on a sustainable basis
  • Assisting in the fostering of the growth and evolution of the ecosystem

  • Promoting the Registry brand and service in the marketplace.

The proposed charter for this working group is now available for review.  

All Members of the Eclipse Foundation are invited to join and participate in this working group and we encourage you to join the working group mailing list [4] to stay abreast of updates and latest news.  All comments and feedback are welcome.

Please feel free to contact me directly, or the mailing list, if you have any questions.
