Bjorn is on
vacation.
Janet and Mike, any
advice here? What are the ramifications to switching to a source forge
CVS repository until the Foundation can focus on our due diligence items?
At this point, we need contingency plans.

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.
