Hi:
Here is the latest status.
1. The Che project has been cleared to make an initial contribution into the Eclipse repositories.
2. We are planning to make this contribution happen in our next sprint of development. We are currently in the middle of preparing our source code to make this contribution.
3. We have not yet completed review of 3rd party sources.
4. After the initial contribution, we have to create CQs for each of the 3rd party sources, and then those are reviewed by Eclipse foundation.
5. We will be maintaining a GitHub mirror.
Our GitHub repositories will generally be ahead of the Eclipse release version. This version that is being initially submitted is for Che 3.8. We are about to release 3.10.1, so it's likely that by the time this legal review process is fully completed, we could be on the 3.11.x release train.
Given all of this, we estimate that it will be another 4-8 weeks to complete the initial submission and then to upgrade the release to the latest Che release.
