Hi guys,
FYI. This is bad news for DSDP and the IP
review process. Please get your IP requests in ASAP so you’re at least
in the queue.

[eclipse.org-technology-leads] Release Reviews around the CallistoSimultaneous
Release
Eclipse Project and PMC Leads,
As you know by the longer days (here in the north; you Australians are having
shorter days), the end of June is rapidly approaching and the end of June is
the big Callisto Simultaneous Release. Not only are the "Callisto
Ten" planning a simultaneous release, but many other projects are also
interested in releasing at, or very very near, the same time (see http://www.eclipse.org/projects/timeline/).
The Callisto projects are having one giant Release Review on Friday, May 26th
(see http://www.eclipse.org/projects/
for the list of all scheduled reviews). Other projects, of course, must also
have Release Reviews. Release Reviews must be scheduled in advance (send email
to emo@xxxxxxxxxxx) and must include
Eclipse Legal clearance of all third-party content, the IP Logs, etc. (see http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/release-review.php).
Janet and her staff are working very hard to get through all the code and legal
reviews as fast as they can - however they can only guarantee to get the
Callisto work done in time for the end of June. The rest of the reviews will be
first come, first served, and it is highly unlikely that all such reviews will
get done in time for all the projects to release alongside Callisto. In the
interim, please respect the Eclipse IP Policy, and the processes which have
been mandated by the Eclipse Board of Directors, and wait for both approval by
Eclipse Legal and a successful Release Review prior to any (non-milestone) releases.
We look forward to processing your requests and scheduling your reviews as
expediently as we can, and we request your understanding of the increased
workload. Thank you.
