Yes,
I had also thought about starting a CVS repository on
SourceForge for our stuff
while the EMO's not ready.
I'm not sure how much effort an "initial review" for the IP
team actually is. I've heard
once that if the code doesn't contain 3rd party code or
cryptography, they just run
some automated scanners on it, which doesn't seem to be too
much of an effort.
Perhaps we should talk to Bjorn again and ask his opinion,
given that moving to
an external CVS repository appears to be the only option
while the IP stuff
is such a bottleneck. Perhaps the EMO could schedule such
"initial checkin
roadblocks" earlier than other stuff.
Cheers,
Martin

Yep,
This sounds really bad.
Because we cannot check unchecked code to CVS and we are
actually not able to proceed without those "to be checked" pieces I quess that
we have two options:
1) stop development
2) continue development in private CVS for the next few
months
Do you see any other options? (are there still options
that MTJ pieces could be checked at the same time as
Callisto...)

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.
