[alf-dev] Announcing the Archival Review for the Eclipse ALF project
|
Dear ALF
participants and users,
It is with regret
that we are announcing the termination of the Eclipse ALF project. The
termination review will be held this Wednesday (see the Eclipse Review schedule
and announcement, pasted below.) The call-in numbers can be found on the
Eclipse MyFoundation portal pages.
The reason for
archiving the project is a lack of particiation by organizations or individuals
other than those of Serena Software. While we have been enhancing the code
up to the present, there has simply not been sufficient community interest to
justify continuing the project as a community activity.
Some notes to those
with continuing interest:
1. The code,
website, WIKI, and mailing lists will be archived and will be available for
download from Eclipse.
2. A major subsystem
of ALF is the ALF SSO (Single SignOn) and we are coordinating with the Eclipse
Higgins project to contribute that code and continue to develop that code as
part of the Higgins project. Given the synergies of the ALF SSO code with
the Higgins components and its focus on identity and authentication,
Eclipse Higgins is a natural venue to continue enhancing that code, and we
encourage you to take a look at the Higgins project before and after we
contribute the SSO components to Higgins.
3. The project may
be restarted in the future, should there be sufficient
interest.
4. The ALF project
components have been consumed by a commercial product, Serena Business Mashups,
and their functionality will continue to be available on a commercial basis
from Serema Software as part of that project.
We thank all those
who have contributed their time, ideas, energy, code, bugs and
enhancements to the project.
Regards,
Brian

Hello all,
Below is the schedule of upcoming
project reviews. Review Calls take place only if an Eclipse member, using the
project's Communication Channel (given below), requests that the call be held.
Otherwise, the EMO will decide the outcome of the review based on the docuware
and community feedback.
The request for the review call
must be posted at least 24 hours before the scheduled review time. The EMO will
post a message on the Communication Channel stating whether or not the Review
Call will be held. The EMO will also post the results of the review on the
Communication Channel.Project

Reviews are held on a
conference call for Eclipse Members. Members (and
committers are members) are directed to the MyFoundation portal for the call-in
