Marcello,
I watched a good science fiction movie named "The day the earth Stood
Still" last week on my SkyBox last week.
Keen Reeve was an Alien named Klaatu" coming to earth to decide how to
save the earth.
He had long talks etc....but at the end his conclusion was that the
only way to save the earth was to get rid of human being and let
animals leave in peace.
Hopefully a professor explained to the Alien that: "all
civilizations only change when they're at the precipice of a crisis.
He says human will change, now that they are really at the edge of
destruction".
At the end of the movie the sphere and Klaatu have disappeared. Then
EVERYTHING shuts down -
lights, buildings, cars, etc. People everywhere cautiously emerge.
Do you think there is a parallel between EMF and the edge of
destruction ?

Hi,
Dave and I have been talking about
EMF
builds and the issue worry us a bit. Although most of the work can be
automated,
the build does require some attention: from running scripts and
checking
test results on a regular basis, to actually maintaining the build in
order
to provide new artifacts or fix something that got broken due to
changes
in a dependency. Since neither Dave nor I can assume this
responsibility,
ideally someone else would step up to task. This person would hopefully
be committed to all parts of code and, for example, make some noise
even
if a test focused on a less important piece fails (a test for the
mapping
support for example).
An alternative to have a single
soul
working on this is to gather a pool of people and share the burden.
Dave
and I could be members of this pool, if this makes sense.
Btw, if it helps making this topic
a
little more exciting, Dave and I are willing to move the EMF build to
Athena
(Nick has already done some of the required work!). Obviously "old
build or Athena" is a completely irrelevant matter if no one cares
about EMF builds. If that's indeed the case, is it OK if EMF doesn't
have
a new build? All affected projects, people, and companies are OK with
it?
Anyhow, the microphone is open for
everyone.
Any input is welcome.

Hi all,
I'm going to be changing jobs at IBM in a week, and as result, working
on EMF will not be part of my "day job." I'd like to remain a
committer and stay involved in the project as much as possible.
One responsibility that I'll need to shed, however, is the EMF Core
build.
Mostly this has just meant pushing buttons on the build system that
Nick
built, ensuring things work, and manually filling in the gaps when they
don't. But I don't feel I can be the single point of failure for
getting
EMF built and promoted anymore.
So I'm wondering if someone else is willing to take primary
responsibility
for build stuff, or if we could somehow share it amongst committers?
Also,
would it be helpful to finally move to the Athena Common Build, or to
further
enhance the existing modeling build? It would be great if we could have
builds automatically run when new changes are committed and have weekly
I builds promoted automatically if they are clean (no build or test
errors).
If there's some work that's needed up-front to make things easier in
the
future, I'm willing and able to contribute some effort now. Marcelo has
indicated to me that he's willing to help, too.
Everyone's input would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Dave
