Hi Bjorn,
I think it is a great idea to make the architecture council
a group
of active committers!

Architecture Council members,
Given the Architecture Council's
role in ensuring the architectural integrity of the Eclipse frameworks by
mentoring new projects on technical (APIs, etc), social (how to be open
source), and process (Eclipse IP, ...) issues, it is now time to expand the
Council membership. The goal is to have a sufficient sized Council to balance
these factors:
- we maintain our high quality standards across all projects
- none of us are overly burdened by mentoring
- new proposals are able to find mentors
Membership in the
Architecture Council is for Eclipse committers who are senior software
developers (i.e., they've shipped quality code) and have demonstrated the open
source philosophy (i.e., they understand that working in the open means
_working_ in the open, not just opening up the code repository). I'd like to
accept nominations and discussion for the rest of April. My goal is to have
finalized the set of candidates by April 30th. Then I will contact each of
them to verify their interest, followed by present the slate to the Executive
Director by May 4th.
Appointment to the Architecture Council should be
reserved for those Eclipse committers who are actively and currently involved
in Eclipse; who embody the principles of open source; and who have a firm
commitment to high-quality extensible frameworks.
I look forward to
your nominations,
Bjorn
