Re: [eclipse.org-architecture-council] Feedback on LTS slide presentatio

["Oberhuber, Martin" <Martin.Oberhuber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good point, David.
In fact on slide 7 the color is green / red, it might make sense to re-use the same color.

I'm still not quite clear who's allowed to download and use the LTS binary bits. 
On governance it seems to suggest that access is limited to LTS members (at least participating).
But then every project committer is allowed to commit into the LTS forge ?
So every committer must be granted download rights or they can't test it?
Do you think about a license that limits the right to redistribute LTS binary bits only for participating members ?
And, what if a member stops participating after a while ... would that void the member's license to redistribute bits he has participated in in creating in an earlier year ?

Similar question for VLTS. If access and governance for VLTS is the same as for LTS I'd suggest using the same color as for LTS in the slide, just longer.
Otherwise explain what governs access to VLTS versus LTS (an extra fee?)

Thanks
martin

Thank you for the feedback David, that's a good idea and makes a lot of sense. It is one release with the LTS phase starting after SR2. I'll illustrate it that way. Similar for VLTS, it makes sense to show the VLTS time period after the LTS phase ends.

And thanks Kim for the correction for 4.2 builds.

Much appreciated.

Andrew
