All,

 

We are please to announce a new Eclipse working group called openArchitectureWare (oAW0).  This group is open to all members of the Eclipse Foundation.  Peter Friese from itemis is the leader of the group and additional details are below.

 

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

openArchitectureWare (oAW) is a set of best practices and processes for using Eclipse modeling technology in Model Driven Software Development.  The purpose of the openArchitectureWare working group at Eclipse.org is to grow and foster a community of people interested in Model Driven Software Development (MDSD) based on oAW and Eclipse.

 

To achieve this goal, the oAW working group will:

- provide downloads (distributions) of openArchitectureWare, based on tools and frameworks from the Eclipse Modeling Project (EMP), such as Xpand (incl.
Xtend and Check), Xtext, MWE, EMF, and so forth.

- provide documentation (articles, tutorials) for openArchitectureWare, either by creating these articles and tutorials or by linking to already existing articles and tutorials at sites such as the Eclipse.org articles corner.

- provide opportunities (e.g. regular meetings / mailing lists) to define and discuss the roadmap for openArchitectureWare and its constituent components

- provide a forum (not in a technical sense, rather in the sense of "a space where people gather to talk")

- follow the Eclipse guidelines and processes

- provide communication channels such as mailing lists and newsgroups on Eclipse.org

The working group will hold regular meetings open to everyone interested in Model Driven Software Development (MDSD) solutions based on openArchitectureWare. These meetings will usually take place as telcos. To improve contact among members, the working group will try to schedule a face to face meeting at least once a year, preferably at one of the Eclipse-related conferences (EclipseCon, Eclipse Forum Europe).
