Hi,

EPF 1.0 has been released, see http://www.eclipse.org/epf/ for download
information, revised website, including Getting Started information. We
expect to add additional Getting Started information within a week or so.

I think this is an important milestone for the industry. I am convinced, as
are many of the other people involved in the project, that EPF will
radically change the whole dynamics of the process landscape. It will help
drive unification and collaboration of software best practices as never
before, which will help accelerate industry adoption of practices known to
improve productivity and quality.

Interesting project statistics:
- We have closed 895 bugs and enhancements
- 36 different people have owned a bug
- We have had 6 face-to-face meetings with more than 100 participants in
total
- We have 27 committers and 13 contributors from 16 organizations listed in
the IP log <More than that have added value>
- We have made 21,441 commits to CVS


What did we accomplish
- We built a strong developer community
- We have made significant progress towards building a strong end user and
value-add communities
- We have built a very stable and mature EPF Composer
- We have produced a strong OpenUP/Basic
- We graduated from the incubation phase to the implementation phase

EPF Next Steps
With this release, we have laid the foundation for the next important steps
for EPF
- We can now expand to cover also other process. Contributions are in
progress or imminent around XP, Scrum, Agile Modeling, DSDM...
- We can now expand OpenUP content beyond OpenUP/Basic to focus on value-add
content around MDD, GUI prototyping, database modeling, deployment, etc.
- As more and more processes are available in EPF, we can leverage each
other's content. Maybe there is good stuff in XP that we can bring over to
OpenUP, etc.
- Further expand on the tooling capabilities, covering capabilities such as
Wiki. Wiki contribution is currently under way.
- Expand the community, gaining more direct involvement and feedback from
end user, universities, adopting organizations, and others.

The development team hopes that you will find EPF 1.0 useful. Please provide
us with feedback on how to improve it further. Even better, please get
involved in evolving EPF Composer, OpenUP, and the future processes arond
XP, DSDM, Agile Modeling, Scrum, etc.

Enjoy
