Hi Boris,
thanks for bringing this up! Involving the AC is a great idea. And
even if many of us won't have sufficient background to make an
educated suggestion, it would be helpful as a first step if the AC got
a list of specification organizations that Eclipse is involved in, and
suggestions that are being voted on.
I do think that bringing this information to the AC may add
considerable value for some AC members, thus increasing the value of
membership, and thus increasing the value of strategic eclipse membership.
Cheers,

Boris,
I got a similar note from Bob Lee J
After much discussion at the Board about getting involved in
Specification Organizations
<http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/Eclipse_SpecOrgs_final.pdf>
the agreed policy is that we (the EMO) will vote in the manner we
(the EMO) think best helps Eclipse.
It would be great to hear the opinion of others on how we should
vote. Having the advice of the Architecture Council would be very
helpful data point, I am sure. But in the end Wayne and I are
going to make the final decision.

Mike, Architecture Council,
The Eclipse Foundation is a member of the JCP SE/EE Executive
Committee, which "is responsible for approving the passage of
specifications through key points of the JCP"
(http://jcp.org/en/participation/committee).
Mike, you are the Eclipse Foundation's representative on that
committee. On what basis do you make voting decisions? Would it
make sense to involve the AC on this in some way?
The concrete background of this is that I have been asked by Bob
Lee, one of the proposed spec leads for JSR-330 "Dependency
Injection for Java", that the Eclipse Foundation vote "yes" on
this JSR which is up for "JSR review", i.e. whether it gets
approval for development in the JCP. Personally, I think that the
proposal looks good, and that it would be in Eclipse's interest to
support the JSR, but it doesn't feel right that I just send an
email to you without involving others from the Eclipse community.
Questions? Comments?
Boris
