Hi Shigeki,
Are you following the discussion on the
eclipse.org-planning-council mailing list? Martin and I have advocated
that you be added to the Ganymede release. But it’s really time for you to
make the case on the list and explain why you didn’t understand the
instructions.

Hi
Doug,
I
think that Shigeki should have the final word on this. It doesn't
seem
right
that we fight for his project, and he doesn't even care about
sending
a
single e-mail to the cross-project list. I think he must have the
final
word
of either
(a) explaining why he didn't understand the instructions, and asking
for
his project to be picked up, or
(b) withdrawing the request.
After
all it's his project and we're just mentoring it, right? My personal
opinion
(and that's for Doug S, Nick and Bjorn) is that while it seems
absolutely
obvious for us build+releng guys that creating a *.sc file is
required
for the Ganymatic, it's not that obvious for somebody just reading
the
"must do's". The original text, already cited by Nick,
is:
"Projects
must have stated and demonstrated their intent to join Ganymede by the
M4+0 date. Projects do so by adding themselves to the table/list above
and to the Ganymede common build infrastructure. " (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Ganymede#Must_Do,
#10)
So,
Shigeki did add himself to the list, but what the heck would
that
...
and to the Ganymede build infrastructure" mean?
I
agree that SHigeki can't have been too keen about joining
Ganymede
but
it might also be a cultural question.
However,
I think he should have the final word, and not you.
Cheers,
