Re: [gmf-dev] GMF Tooling Committers
|
Hi Everyone,
As of today, I can not dedicate too much time to
the project, although I expect this to change in the coming months.
Given there are parties interested in active development of the project
right now, I'm eager to support this undertaking as much as I can.
First, I'm going to review code submissions from Mickael I. and Michael
G. to back up nomination them as committers, update bugzilla to reflect
actual plans for this iteration and of course take care of administrivia
(project meta data, etc).
Michael G. and Mikael I., I believe you have certain ideas what you'd
like to focus on in the project. I'd ask you to reflect these in
bugzilla, either reassigning existing bugs or filing new ones (please, check for existing first!). Forum is another nice place to show your expertise meanwhile. I know,
writing code is much more fun, but being committer means there's a lot
of extra dull work to do ;).
Given limited resources, I would suggest GMF tooling project not to join
Indigo train, otherwise being aligned with the its release schedule. However, if Mickael I. would like to take the responsibility and the burden :) there'd be no objection, I believe.
Best wishes,
Artem Tikhomirov

Hi Team,
As lead of the GMP project, I want to
make sure everyone is fully aware of the decision making that has to happen
in the next few weeks with regards to the GMF Tooling project.
Recall that GMF Tooling was a modeling
project lead by Borland. Historically there have never been any non-Borland
committers in the project. Borland was acquired by Micro Focus and the
original Borland committers are no longer are active in GMF Tooling. Both
Alex S and Artem have been very active over the last five years, but the
activity has stopped suddenly. Alex S had his last commit in Feb 2010 and
Artem had his last commit in April 2010. I am not sure what their plans
are currently, but it would be extremely useful if they let the rest of
their Eclipse team know.
During the Helios release and during
the GMF restructure, I was added as a committer to help with releasing
of the overall GMF projects to the Helios release as well as completing
the restructure. The intent was that the commit rights were temporary,
since I was never actually voted on as an official GMF Tooling committer.
I am really only the lead and committer for the GMF Runtime and GMF Notation
projects within the GMF umbrella project.
We are at the situation now where GMF
Tooling really has no active committers. I have a few emails from developers
who are interested. I have asked each of them to document their interest
in the GMF development newsgroup.
We need to staff the project with a
set of developers who will bring GMF Tooling into the Indigo release. These
developers do not just code, they will be expected to do all the administrative
things a project is required to do on the Eclipse simultaneous release.
We need to have some of these tasks completed before the M4 milestone,
which is the third week of December, so there is some urgency to get things
moving.
So once again, would all those interested
parties interested in helping GMF Tooling into the Indigo release, please
let all of us know in the development newsgroup.
I also need Artem as lead of the GMF
Tooling project to let us know his plans. If we do not hear anything back
before the end of November, we will have no choice but to replace Artem
with a new GMF Tooling project lead.
Cheers...
Anthony
