So Christian, are you willing to baby sit the components on your own
time until a termination review?
Or would you rather vote in a some committers on each of these
components to take over next week, with the provision that things
could change based on the to be scheduled termination review?
Cheers...
Anthony

Hi, Kenn,
Thanks for your prompt input. That has been my understanding, too.
Perhaps the name of this review mechanism is problematic: it should
be called the
"Please-help-Eclipse-to-decide-what-to-do-with-this-project Review." :-)
I shall work up some slides, then, for termination reviews of these
components and send them out for feed-back before asking the EMO to
schedule the reviews. These slides will make it clear that there is,
in my opinion, sufficient interest to re-boot these components with
new committers under new leadership and that this should be the
recommended course of action. As I understand it, the interested
parties will have an opportunity to collaborate on the new road-map,
committer team, and leadership for these components.
Thanks!
Christian

Christian,
The process for “vaulting of individuals into committer
positions” IS the Termination Review, AFAIK. To be clear,
a Termination Review does not automatically mean the
project/component will be terminated/archived; it gives
the community the chance to step up and potentially do a
reboot. I don’t think we can/should replace all of the
committers (only one in this case) with new ones via the
usual voting process unless we can justify the new
committers based on meritocracy…

Hi,
Thanks to Anthony, Cédric, and Bernd for expressing
willingness to commit to the continued vitality of these
components! It's great to see such support.
Just to be clear, again: as I understand it, Termination
Review is the only process by which a project's committer
team might be changed /en masse/ on events such as this,
and the preferred outcome for all stakeholders is always
that the project continue under new leadership with a new
committer team.
If there is another mechanism available, or if the
Modeling PMC can direct a transition, please let me know!
I prefer a smooth transition of these components into
willing and capable hands. For example, if the PMC can
approve the vaulting of individuals into committer
positions that they would not, under normal
circumstances, yet have earned, then that works for me.
Kenn? Ed? What is your recommendation as PMC reps for the
projects involved?
Thanks,
Christian

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
