[cft-dev] Discussion about "Cloud" category for Neon Simultaneous Releas

[Nieraj Singh <nsingh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We are discussing a "Cloud" category for Neon simrel here:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=489467

One question was what would be the criteria to define a "Cloud"
category. To prepare an answer, I though I'd create this post.

Elson and I discussed borrowing the 5 points listed for ECD project
and applying generally to any "Cloud" feature in Neon Simultaneous
Release, in addition to one extra point to cover CFT. The projects
don't need to be part of ECD, but maybe we can apply those criteria to
those wanting to be in the "Cloud" category:

1. Cloud application and service management tool, including
application deployment  (Covers CFT)

(The rest below are from ECD project page):

2. Protocols and Technologies for provisioning cloud development
platforms, cloud developer environments, and the interaction of
clients with distributed services

3. Frameworks for building, loading, managing, running, and executing
distributed tooling extensions with browser-client interfaces

4. Extensions for programming languages, build systems, frameworks,
ALM and code assistant tools

5. Tools and Cloud IDEs that orchestrate developer activity and
development workflow across distributed services

6. Delivering industry-oriented, ready-to-run technologies

The last 5 points are borrowed from:

https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ecd

If this is acceptable, I'll post it as a reply to the bugzilla above.
