Hi
all,
here
is the draft E-Mail which I proposed sending to Eclipse.org-committers,
announcing
our new bugzilla CC abilities. Feedback is welcome, and I
intend
finalizing the draft in our meeting tomorrow.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Subject:
Announcing the EAC bug component
channels
for discussions and questions:
As
you may be aware, the EAC is staffed by appointed members
representing
the most senior committers in the entire community,
as well as
representatives from each PMC and strategic member.
You
can now leverage this combined wisdom in the following ways:
- File
a bug against the Eclipse Foundation / Community /
Architecture Council component. All EAC members will
get notified and answer the bug as appropriate.
- Put
the eclipse.org-architecture-council@xxxxxxxxxxx
E-Mail address on CC of an existing bug. All EAC
members will get notified and comment on your bug
as appropriate.
Q:
What should be the scope of discussions initiated with the EAC?
A:
Think of it as a means of "escalation". Any question that you'd
like
a mentor's advice on can be brought to the EAC's attention.
Including
questions like "How do other projects..." - it doesn't
even
need
to be limited to technical questions, in our opinion
"architecture"
includes
organizational issues just as much. We especially appreciate
questions,
ideas or suggestions that might be interesting on a broader
In
many cases the EAC may not answer your question directly, but
point
you in the right direction; your bug's log will keep the history
of
the discussion.
Q: How does
this relate to the existing cross-project-issues-dev mailing list and
bugzilla component?
A: We consider the cross-project-isses
component as a tool for
day-to-day work coordinating between
projects, especially those
that are on the release train (Galileo). The EAC
bugs can be more
fundamental, broader in scope, or with a longer time
horizon.
Q: Is this going to scale?
A: We'll see,
it is an experiment for now but we're very much looking
forward to
getting involved in the questions, ideas or suggestions that
you may have.
Cheers,
