Hi Shigeki,
Are you following the discussion on the
eclipse.org-planning-council mailing list? Martin and I have advocated that you
be added to the Ganymede release. But it’s really time for you to make the case
on the list and explain why you didn’t understand the instructions.

Hi Doug,
I think
that Shigeki should have the final word on this. It doesn't seem
right that
we fight for his project, and he doesn't even care about sending
a single
e-mail to the cross-project list. I think he must have the final
word of
either
(a)
explaining why he didn't understand the instructions, and asking for
his project to be picked up, or
(b)
withdrawing the request.
After all
it's his project and we're just mentoring it, right? My personal
opinion
(and that's for Doug S, Nick and Bjorn) is that while it seems
absolutely
obvious for us build+releng guys that creating a *.sc file is
required
for the Ganymatic, it's not that obvious for somebody just reading
the
"must do's". The original text, already cited by Nick, is:
"Projects
must have stated and demonstrated their intent to join Ganymede by the M4+0 date.
Projects do so by adding themselves to the table/list above and to the Ganymede
common build infrastructure. " (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Ganymede#Must_Do,
#10)
So,
Shigeki did add himself to the list, but what the heck would that
... and to
the Ganymede build infrastructure" mean?
I agree
that SHigeki can't have been too keen about joining Ganymede
but it
might also be a cultural question.
However, I
think he should have the final word, and not you.
Cheers,
