| [location-iwg] Who curates code & IP |
|
Hi Everyone, Craig asked me a good question that I wanted to bring to the mailing list for discussion & input. It was: Who curates code and other intellectual assets to ensure they are useful and appropriate? Good question Craig, there are a few main forces involved: 1) The Eclipse Development Process will govern important project life-cycle such as creation/incubation/archiving, structure, etc. My colleague Wayne Beaton, Director of Open Source projects is the lead in this area. 2) The Eclipse IP process also. My colleague Janet Campbell, Director of Intellectual Property is the lead in this area. 3) The industry working group itself decides on direction and can define a list of outputs/deliverables. One item that we've talked a bit about already is defining and producing a platform to be released regularly. 4) My mandate as Director of Ecosystems will be influenced to support the above & help drive execution on IWG initiatives. Our vision/mission/architecture/business strategy as a IWG will shape how we recruit projects & organizations. I'd love to hear each of your thoughts on this area to keep a constant focus on the value you're seeking. Thanks for bringing this up Craig, Andrew |
