| [dsdp-dd-dev] DD Project Leadership |
|
Hi DD folks, I’m really pleased with how the DSF coding camp went
last week. Many thanks to Pawel for organizing and running the event!
It’s great to see Ericsson and MontaVista engaged with developers, and it
was helpful to have Jim from CodeSourcery attending. I can’t say
enough how much I appreciate the commitment of engineering to the DD project
from other companies. As many of you know, I have my hands full with the DSDP
project, my Wind River management responsibilities, and now my role as Technical
Program Chair of EclipseCon 08. The time has come for me to nominate a
proper project lead for DD that can help drive the DD 1.0 delivery on the
Ganymede train. We’ve got a lot of good technology forming in DD,
and we need someone who has the fulltime job of running the project. As such, I’d like to nominate Pawel Piech to run DD.
As most of you have worked with Pawel on DSF over the past several months, I
think you already know his technical leadership skills. The project
mechanics will be the easy part…or so I’ve promised him. J Changing a project lead is initiated
and voted on at the PMC level, so this change will be official once the DSDP PMC
approves. As was discussed in the coding camp, the next step for DD is
a project plan with milestones for the development work on the DSF+GDB
implementation. This will be Pawel’s first task as project lead. Finally, I’m not planning on disappearing. You
can expect me at most DD project meetings and discussions. I’m very
excited about finishing DSF+GDB and getting to 1.0…and then tackling our
next problems – SPIRIT, multi-core, …. Doug |
