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.

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.
