Hi Bjorn,
Given the promised lag on IP due diligence,
my DSDP projects are all considering going off Eclipse CVS so they can continue
development.
I see no other alternative. We can’t
block development while the Foundation tries to clear the backlog. Do you have
any advice?

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.

[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.
