[eclipse.org-architecture-council] Invitation to speak at committer and

[Ward Cunningham <ward.cunningham@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Architecture Council Members and Elected Committer Representatives,


We are conducting a fast-paced and in-depth "boot camp" for new  
committers and projects from 1 to 5 pm on Sunday, March 4th, as a no- 
fee addition to EclipseCon. We've had a great responses and have  
filled the room. I've attached more information about the event below.

I would like to invite those of you who will be in town Sunday  
afternoon to participate in a Q&A panel as part of this event  
starting at 4 pm in the Tasman room of the hotel. This will not  
require any preparation on your part and is intended to show off your  
expertise in the best possible light. I will adjust the format  
depending on how many of you confirm participation. Please let me  
know if you can join us this week. Thanks.

Best regards,

Ward Cunningham

You're new to Eclipse. Our experience at the foundation suggests you  
have a lot of questions. We've seen past questions cluster around  
three topics: development process, intellectual property cleanliness,  
and, techniques of community development. So we've assembled the  
relevant foundation expertise to answer your questions in a fast- 
paced and in-depth afternoon we're calling "boot camp". But don't  
worry about drill sergeants or push-ups.

Our boot camp will consist of three sections. The first will provide  
an in-depth review of steps to create and manage an open source  
project at Eclipse, including writing a project proposal, getting  
ready for your first creation review and the responsibilities of all  
committers/project leaders. The second section will cover the  
licensing and IP process that is required for all Eclipse projects.  
And finally there will be a discussion on what are the best practices  
for building a community around your project.
