Re: [mdt.dev] Update


Thanks, Christian.

Component leads, now that the Modeling PMC has put an "official" committer removal policy in place (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Modeling_Project_Committer_Policies), please consider identifying the inactive committers for your components, as Chrisitian has done. For example, based on the numbers (see http://dash.eclipse.org/dash/commits/web-app/active-committers.cgi?project=modeling.mdt), it would seem that there are at least 2 inactive committers for EODM (mli and pyue). I would like to send an email to the PMC proposing the removal of the identified committers by the end of this week.

Cheers,

Hi, Kenn,


I have followed up with the following OCL committers, and they have graciously volunteered to relinquish their committer status:


   Chris McGee

   Vishwanath Ramaswamy


Thanks to Chris and Vishy for their past contributions to the success of MDT OCL!

Team,


FYI, you can use the information at http://dash.eclipse.org/dash/commits/web-app/active-committers.cgi?project=modeling.mdt in making your decision about removal of inactive committers.

[mdt.dev] Update










Team,


Congratulations on a (mostly) successful Europa release! Despite a few hiccups, I think things went reasonably well. Note that there are still a few 1.0 plan items that are not yet in resolved state - please work toward getting your bugs updated in Bugzilla as soon as you can.


At this time, I'd like to call on your help in doing a post mortem on the MDT 1.0 release. It would be great if you could share your perspectives on what went well and what didn't go so well for this release, and also any ideas you may have on improvements we can make for the next release. I'll do my best to work with the Modeling PMC and our committer representatives at the Foundation to ensure that your feedback is given proper consideration.


Now is also the time to start planning for the next release. I will be putting together a draft plan for MDT 1.1 over the next few weeks. Please start thinking about the items you would like to include for your components.


Finally, there are a number of committers on the various MDT components that were inactive during this development cycle (i.e. they haven't committed any changes in the past year). Component leads, please give some thought as to whether any of the committers on your component should be removed. Note the following excerpt from the Eclipse Development Process:


Becoming a Committer is a privilege that is earned by contributing
and showing discipline and good judgment. It is a responsibility that should be neither given nor taken lightly, nor is it a right based on employment by an Eclipse Member company or any company employing existing committers.


We, as the MDT development team, have a responsibility to ensure that (all of the) committers on the MDT project influence the project's development in a positive way; IMHO, it does not serve the Eclipse community's best interests to retain committers that do not actively participate in this development...

Thanks,
