Re: [emf-dev] Transition Plan for MDT OCL and EMF "QTV" Components?

[Anthony Hunter <anthonyh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Christian,

Since IBM originally committed these components and since IBM definitely requires these components in our Eclipse based modeling stack, we will not let them go to termination review. The Eclipse modeling package also requires these. GMF requires these components. I can go on...

I will find out which of our older IBM committers for these components would be able to take back their commit rights that have expired.

At worst I will make sure these get through the Galileo release. We are in the home stretch and cannot let the release fall apart.

Anyone else want to help me with these components for Galileo?

Cheers...
Anthony

Hello, my PMC,

As most of you already know, I have been unemployed for some time  
now.  That interval is now coming to an end, to my great relief.

However, in my new employment, the job description does not include  
time to spend on development of the Eclipse Modeling components on  
which I am currently a committer.  Nor would I expect it to, as the  
work is quite removed from the MDD sphere.

I would not be able to contribute as a committer on these components  
to the standard expected of the Eclipse community, and certainly not  
my own standard, on my own personal time.  Therefore, I shall need to  
relinquish my committer rights on the MDT OCL component and the EMF  
Query, Transaction, and Validation components as of next week.

The problem is, of course, that I am the only committer on these  
components.  As I understand the Eclipse process, a Project that finds  
itself without any committers proceeds to Termination Review in the  
hope that the project can be re-staffed.  Is the same true of  
Components?  Can we assume that the rules of the new process (in which  
these components that are still Components would be Projects) should  
apply?

Please advise.

Thanks,

Christian
