Dear
PMC,
I’ve
contacted the EMO in order to get some feedback on an early
draft of the proposal (see attachment) and to determine the
right parent project. I did not know that the PMC must be
contacted first, sorry for that.
Wayne is a very helpful guy, so talking to him first is never a bad
idea.
I did not intend to bypass you.
My confusion was primarily driven by the heavy use of the word
"proposal" in conjunction with a missing proposal attachment.
FMC
and TAM are not specific to SAP but they are being used by
many other companies (not only SAP partners). Some of them
are listed in this link:
http://www.fmc-modeling.org/consortium.
However, these languages are not standardized by a
standardization body.
It will be good to get permission from some of these other
organizations so they can be listed as interested parties.
We
already have a first implementation of the modeling tool and
the metamodel based on Ecore and Graphiti.
That sounds good.
The proposal looks generally good to me. Typically the scope
section is one of the most important aspects of a proposal so it
will be good to good to crisp that up a little bit. E.g., what
specifically do you mean be "Modeling of FMC..." and "Modeling the
TAM subset..."? Does this mean supporting graphical editors for
those things? Only graphical editors?
Extensibility of tools and frameworks is an important aspect of an
Eclipse project, so some wording to highly how this project will
facilitate extensibility would be a good idea. E.g., you could
mention that an Ecore model for FMC block diagrams can be used to
facilitate interchange, integrate with established frameworks, such
as EMF compare, and to facilitate the development of addition tools
that all a common underlying representation. Do you intend the
tools themselves to be extensible in some way? If so, it would be
good to highlight that.
As I said, in general the proposal looks good, and I'm definitely
willing to help mentor the project.
Kind
Regards,
Benjamin

Dear Modeling PMC,
I’ve sent a new project proposal to the EMO which is
strongly related to the Eclipse Modeling Project.
Normally project proposals (at least
official ones) involve the hosting PMC before they're
submitted to the EMO...
It depends on how you define normally. I am
the first one to receive a lot of project proposals. Many of
our processes are difficult to navigate and I am oftentimes
the first to learn about a proposal. I do not accept or
process proposals that haven't got the blessing of the PMC. In
this case, I read through the proposal, offered minor feedback
on the content and pointed him to the PMC (like I normally
do).
