Dear Tools PMC,
I was looking over the PDT 1.0 Graduation Review slides and slide 18
caught by eye: "17 committers from 2 organizations (Zend and IBM)".
And yet looking at the commit explorer for the PDT project, I see that
all the code has come from Zend-employed committers and none from the
IBM-employed committers:
http://dash.eclipse.org/dash/commits/web-app/summary.cgi?company=y&year=x&top=tools&project=tools.pdt
Three of the 17 committers are from IBM, but:
- bburns has never committed any code, ever, to any Eclipse project
- pberkland has been active in Webtools, but not in PDT or in any
Tools project
- rgoodman has been active in Webtools, but not in PDT or in any
Tools project
Thus my question for the PDT Leadership and the Tools PMC is:
- Given that the Eclipse Development Process says:
- 2.5
"a thriving, diverse and active community of developers is the key
component of any Eclipse Project"
- 6.3
"Reasonable diversity in its committer population as appropriate for
the type of Review. Diversity status must be provided not only as
number of people/companies, but also in terms of effort provided by
those people/companies."
- 6.3.2
"The purpose of the Graduation Review is to confirm that the Project
is/has: ... active and sufficiently diverse communities: adopters,
developers, and users"
- Given all that, how does "all the committers come from one
company" qualify as "sufficiently diverse"?
Thanks for helping me understand,
Bjorn
