Hi David,
Thank you very much for your response.
Please, take a look to my in-lined comments below:

Welcome Adolfo. I can't read your website (http://www.opencanarias.com/
)[due to my language limitations] but assume you're doing cool stuff with
Eclipse.
If we didn't impose this kind of limitations, too many people would
know when, how and why we are going to destroy the world and that's not
good for our purposes .... Just kidding ;P. I agree that an English
version would be nice :(
I can only provide you an English link related to the EPL licensed work
published by Open Canarias S.L:
http://www.modelset.es/atc/atcdownload.html
As for information about Orbit, I'd point you first to our wiki pages:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Category:Orbit
Then later, as you have more pointed questions, you can ask those on this
list and get more pointed answers.
Thank you very much. It was just what I needed.
As for becoming an Orbit Committer, by you stating your intent here on
this mailing list you have taken the first step.
Well, I have asked just for information about Orbit, not being a
committer itself. However, as I have read in the wiki, since Christian
is the current representative of the modeling project, I guess that
somebody must occupy his place. Maybe you know somebody else - probably
more experienced - who may want to do it, but in any case I don't have
any problem for filling the hole ;P
Since you sound new to
Eclipse in general (that is, I assume, not too many people in Eclipse know
you) can you please provide a brief summary of what work you do (such as
your "day job", that is ... though a statement or pointer to your MDT-OCL
work would be good too? What are your long term plans with Eclipse? (I
think you stated your short term plans). Have you have created OSGi
bundles before?
I'm new as a committer, but not in Eclipse. I started to work with/on
it, nearly 3 years ago, and I early had to implement some plugins to
build a generic/extensible transformation launcher (basically, some
core and UI plugins to support model2model transformations launching).
I think that you could check those plugins in the link I provided
above. They may not be the best plugins you have ever seen, but the
knowledge and experience gained since then has obviously increased.
I'm currently working on:
- An internal tool (Eclipse RCP) focused on the software processes
management, based on the ideas of SPL(Software Product Lines), RAS
(Reusable Asset Specification), etc and having SPEM (Software Process
Engineering Metamodel, another OMG specification) as its data model.
- MDT-OCL maintenance/evolution (20% daily work).
I have also participated in other tools:
- A MDA (Model-Driven Architecture) tool (based on OMG's UML).
- An ADM (Arhictecuture-Driven modernization) tool (based on OMG's
Knowledge Discovery Metamodel and Software Metrics Metamodel).
About MDT-OCL, I just point you to some bugs which I related when I was
proposed to be MDT-OCL committer:

- Bug throwing nonStaticAttribute error, in

About my plans in Eclipse, my intention is obviously being part of
Eclipse as long as possible. I love Eclipse, and I like working with/on
it ;P. I can't obviously state how long my company will sponsor me as
committer, although since I'm also doing my phD (at this moment focused
on model transformations), I'm also investing free time on using and
improving Eclipse technology such as MDT-OCL project.
I don't mean any of that to sound like I'm giving you the third degree or
springing a pop-quiz on you ... I sincerely would just like to hear a
little more about you before I nominate you as an Orbit Committer. The
pop-quiz will be how many poor idioms I included in this short note. :)
Oh, I like talking about myself or my (and company) work, so it's a
pleasure. In this case, I hope that a link to my blog and (not
accurately updated) linkedin profile is sufficient.

http://www.linkedin.com/in/adolfosbh
But, to be more serious, after you read some of the technical "how to"
stuff, tell us a little more about yourself, and if by then you still want
to be an Orbit committer .... then your are in! (well, after the required
votes, paper work, etc.)
Thanks for offering to taking over some of Dumus' work ... this fills an
important hole.
Again, If my novice status as an Eclipse committer (I must say,
counteracted by my learning capabilities :P ) is not a problem, I would
be happy to fill Christian's hole. In other case, I hope you can point
us how we could solve the MDT-OCL concern about the possibility of
including a new version of the LPG library.
Cheers,
Adolfo.
Thanks again,

Hi,
I'm Adolfo Sanchez-Barbudo Herrera (Open Canarias S.L.). I have recently
been promoted as committer in the MDT-OCL project and I want to ask for
some information related to Orbit. The project currently uses a version of
a third party plugin (LPG v1.1 - LALR Parser Generator) which is already
included in Orbit. However, we are studying the possibility of including
the last version of LPG. As the previous project committer (Christian
Damus) and previous responsible Orbit-related task is not a MDT-OCL member
any more, I have decided to take the responsibility of doing any task
related to Orbit.
Any help, guideline or whatever you can point me will be welcomed.
Cheers,
Adolfo.
