Friday everyone,
Smiling as I read this thread. Allow me to provide a history on the MP drives:
Main drive created when MP was launched:
& since then used for all releases, marketing, content creation, ect.
We have chosen 2 add 2 cards on that page about the drive and its importance.
This is not new, it has been there for years. 💛 and it is even pushed via MP social media!
When MP chose to move to the EF foundation in January 2017, the drive was transferred ownership from Tomitribe to the Eclipse foundation. See below.
When MP was obligated to become a Working Group to fix its IP gaps, the EMO created a "private drive" for the MPWG. MPWG had no choice but to accept that it needed to collaborate with the EMO via a hosted drive under the EF infra. That drive is "External"
drive called MicroProfile Working Group as it doesn't welcome collaboration from anyone who is not a member of the steering committee. Further, we voted to make it globally public b/c MP doesn't operate in a vacuum of privacy. The MPWG steering cmtee formally voted to fix that privacy of the external drive. The drive is now visible and linked via a few finalized documents to the website under MPWG page.
Maybe we need to drop the Community entry on the MPWG drive?
---
Both drives are under the Stewardship of the EF.
The community drive is the one where MicroProfilers heart lives as openness thrives accomplishing & archiving tasks within the drive. The
The external drive and its limited access serves as MPWG official "finalized" stuff. That comes after our community has been welcomed to shape the future of MP.
I welcome MPWG drive to be imported into the original Community drive & be keeped under its restrictive editing to only the EF and the Steering Cmtee members.
However, I am -1 to moving the original drive to such a restrictive environment.
I hope this helps the discussion,
Wishing all a peaceful wknd.
