Greetings Eclipse Technical Advisory Council!
We've observed a trend of creating an AI_POLICY document in repository roots to provide contributors with guidelines regarding the project's values with regard to the use of AI in the contribution process. I've mentioned this document in a few of our committer office hours sessions and in the
Use of Artificial Intelligence by Eclipse Committers and Contributors committer training video.
The EMO team has been working on a template for a project-specific AI_POLICY.md file. We're tracking that work in this
issue. Your feedback is requested.
Note that this is intended as a template for a project-specific policy; this is specifically not intended as the policy for all Eclipse projects. Nonetheless, this will likely be regarded as a recommendation by some, so we should be sensitive to that.
We considered the opportunity for multiple templates but decided to start with what the team feels is the most common configuration.
Thanks in advance.
Wayne
