Thanks Ed,
The task at hand is to make sure we have some experienced Eclipse committers who are able to get these four components into the Galileo release train. It is my role at IBM to make sure this happens. I will be the committer until such time that I can identify another IBM employee to take over for me. Any new committers will fully follow the Eclipse process.
Cheers...
Anthony

Re: [modeling-pmc] Transition plan for Query and Transaction |
Anthony,
I'll happily include you as a committer without a track record, though the word "delegate" has me a bit concerned. I expect SAP and itemis will propose specific names as well and hopefully will be in a position to provide full leadership. Hopefully some others will step forward too, but if not, so be it.
Cheers,
Ed

Hi Ed, I completely agree with you here. And this was what I thought we discussed on the call yesterday.
When IBM started these modeling components at Eclipse, one of the goals was absolutely to build a community. This is a perfect opportunity, in the absence of an army of existing committers to take over.
All I desire is one IBM committer on these projects, and I am that IBM delegate today. IBM is fully committed to these components, so all we are asking for is one committer.
Believe me, none of the components IBM requires for their commercial product will be left with one committer again :-)
Cheers...

Guys,
I thought I was very clear at yesterday's PMC meeting that I personally will decide the lists of committers for these three components based on input and volunteers from the community. While OCL seems to be a popular technology in which to get directly involved, the EMF QTV components do not appear to be generating the same long list of volunteers. So I will reboot these three components with interested parties, regardless of their prior level of involvement. If we end up with a long list of proven contributors, as is the case for OCL, only then I will consider filtering down the selection. I won't leave these components with just a single committer. Involvement from a diverse group of committers is key to avoiding the problem that we're faced with today.
Regards,
Ed

Hi Bernd,
As you have seen from the controversy over MDL OCL and the precedents set, SAP cannot become commiteers nor lead the EMF Query and Transaction projects. SAP has not demonstrated activity in these components in the last year.
Ed Merks and Christian are going to have to go through the IP logs and tell us who has been activity contributing to Query, Transaction and Validation over the last year.
Cheers...
Anthony

Hi all,
SAP is willing to staff and lead the EMF Query and Transaction.
However there is one little thing missing from our side: Final upper
management approval. We have an informal commitment. The official one
is supposed to be available in early April.
>From our side I would, at least initially, take the lead. For query
we would add 3 more committers. For transactions 2 in addition.
At the moment we are internally rewriting the query. This will also
use the proposed index.
For transactions the plan is to keep the project alive and in
maintenance with some additional features.
Best regards,
Bernd
