SourceLabs is definitely an interesting startup,
yes, and hopefully they will provide an eclipse distribution, too.

We seem all [the startup, you, me] to agree here.
But I think you're comparing apples to oranges.
Of course.
Both (apples and oranges) have taste and appearance.

Both (a "venture-funded startup" and an "open source project") have a "commitment to Ethical Business" [or Openness, or transparency], which I compare.
SourceLabs is a venture-funded startup company.
with an _exceptional_ commitment to Openness [= Ethical Business].
Eclipse is an open source project.
with an _exceptional_ _lack_ of commitment to Openness [= ???].

Do you [Eclipse Board, EMO, you (Eclipse Director)] really don't see the need to apply this openness to the Eclipse Foundation?

This topic (see shorten summary below) relates directly to the private message i've sent you (via email).
Did you receive the message? [I got no answer yet]

The Prime Directive "Tie by Serving" (promise 1)
The Prime Directive "Transparency and Candor" (promise 2)
The Prime Directive "Control of Egoism" (promise 3)!
[...]
You can summarize those 3 as: "Ethical Business".
[...]
Currently, eclipse.org would fail dramatically to pass an [honest]
evaluation against those 3 prime directives. Governance Model, Development
Process, Project Infrastructure - all of them.
[...]
I have lost very much time, but at least I have currently a lot of the
eclipse.org domain knowledge active.
I have extracted many minor changes, which would bring eclipse.org quickly
& smoothly closer to those 3 Prime Directives.
[...]
Based on the time and energy needed to initialize and track only _one_
simple and _undoubtable_ rational change ("dedicated eclipse.org newsgroup",
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=73282), I estimate that it
would take eclipse.org years to become as efficient as it should be.
Years, for something which could be done within a few months.
This is _highly_ disapointing to me.
