[technology-pmc] Striking fear
|
I like to think that the nicknames on the Technology PMC "leaders" page
[1] are recognised as a lame attempt a humour. However, that may not be
the case.
I have received a couple of emails that hint that some projects are
concerned that we're starting some kind of campaign against them and
that we are actively looking for projects to shut down. I do not believe
that this is the case.
The efforts that I recently started to determine the status of the many
Technology projects is aimed at helping the projects develop and mature.
The main intent has been to highlight for the projects the things that
they can and should be doing to develop a community around them. IMHO,
an Eclipse project needs to be more than code; community development is
an important part of what it means to be a successful Eclipse project. I
blogged recently about why I think this is true.
Another thing that we've been doing is asking projects to start
developing a plan for the future. Again, the intent is not to push
projects out of the Technology Project, but rather to get them thinking
about and doing the sorts of things that they need to be doing now to be
prepared for a move later.
Your thoughts on this topic are welcome.
