[wtp-pmc] FW: WTP PMC requesting 1.0 release review scheduling

Title: Bjorn Freeman

Update from Janet on the release review (fine in general) and Cactus (not fine). On the PMC call this morning we will need to discuss the contingency plan of removing and restoring it around the 1.0 release. Janet will continue her due diligence, but a mandatory 30 day Board review period has been added to the policy, making it less likely that we can get a pass in time even if there are no problems (and the message below indicates there may be).

Hi Tim,

 

I’m finding quite a few things in the scan for Cactus that I’m going to need to follow up on.   There are references to GPL, LGPL, a Sun copyright with an indication that the code may be subject to Sun patents, an indication that the project started out independent then went to SourceForge and then went to Apache (this could pose difficulties from a pedigree standpoint).  That isn’t to say that I may not be able to resolve these issues to our satisfaction, but it is going to take time.

 

Janet

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.  I’ll go over your contributions and status in greater detail tomorrow but believe we are in good shape.  I expect all submissions to be approved with the exception of the cactus files outlined in your email of 10/25.  These files (with the exception of the Eclipse code file – aspectjrt) post due diligence will need to be submitted to the Board for approval.  All non epl submissions going forward will need to be approved by the Board post due diligence for inclusion in Eclipse.  The fastest this can occur is approximately a month and if any concerns are raised it would take longer (until the concern was resolved).  As a result, they will not likely be approved in time for your 1.0 GA date of 12/16.

 

Regards,

 

Janet Campbell
