Re: [adoptium-pmc] Creating the Adoptium Incubator project
|
I'll leave this open for discussion for another 24hrs, and unless there
is an objection, or somebody asks for an extension to consider it, I'll
start a formal vote to (i) create the project, and (ii) set it up with a
repository for the proposed work mentioned below.
Regards,
Tim

In the Adoptium Working Group meeting last week [1], the group agreed to
support the Adoptium TLP PMC in creating a dedicated project as a place
to try out new runtime, build, test, and infrastructure ideas. This
fulfils an aspect of the TLP charter's scope to support such activities
[2].
The working title for the new project is "Eclipse Adoptium Incubator".
The driver for creating the project now is that Alibaba and others would
like a shared location to collaborate on ideas currently being
discussed. Using the established governance model of Eclipse Adoptium
for such collaboration ensures the work is open and vendor-neutral.
The intent of the proposed Eclipse Adoptium Incubator is to foster
collaboration, and hopefully results in work proceeding to contribution
by their original authors into upstream projects, including OpenJDK, or
moving the work into a new Eclipse Adoptium project. The Adoptium
Incubator would not make any releases itself.
The Eclipse Foundation Development Process has explicit provision for
such permanent incubator projects [3]. Thanks to Wayne Beaton for
pointing us to this method for structuring the Adoptium project.
Creating such an incubator project does not require a formal project
proposal as was done for Temurin etc., rather the PMC can simply request
one and the to the Eclipse Management Office will create it.
At this point I'm just opening it up to the PMC to discuss the idea,
decide how the incubator will be defined, and pick a suitable name. When
we are happy we'll put in the request.
