| RE: [eclipse.org-planning-council] Release train wiki pages |

John, et al, You may likely be interested in knowing that as per the
Bylaws[1], the three Councils (Requirements, Planning, Architecture) are
actually defined as being part of the Eclipse Management Organization (EMO).
In other words, I do agree that stating "The Eclipse Foundation produces a
simultaneous release" is appropriate. An alternate
formulation could be "The
Eclipse Foundation and its projects produce a simultaneous release". I hope that helps. [1] http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/Eclipse%20BYLAWS%202008_07_24%20Final.pdf
see pages 16-18 I
was also asked if it is correct to say "The Eclipse Foundation produces a
simultaneous release". I think this is right, as I believe the planning
council and committer members are "part of" the Eclipse Foundation.
We tend to equate "Eclipse Foundation" with "Eclipse Management
Organization (EMO)", but I think these are distinct entities (the EMO
being a small but important element of the overall Foundation). Am I splitting
hairs here? Would it be better to say "The Eclipse community produces a
simultaneous release"? This doesn't seem right either, as anybody using or
talking about Eclipse is in some way part of the Eclipse community. Please dive
in to correct me here... |
