Dear PMC, 

We have successfully finished the Graduation reviews for:
We are now preparing the graduation announcements for early September, and all project teams agreed on it. 

What do you think about preparing a shared statement from the PMC to celebrate this graduation so we can add it to the announcement? If you agree, it would be nice to have a spokesperson on behalf of the PMC, so we can start an email thread with the marketing team.

KR, 

Carmen

Maria Teresa,

Thanks!

We have not heard from Peter Chang, Matthew Gerring, or Tobias Verbeke in several years, and I recommend that we remove them from the PMC (unless they respond to this email and want to discuss it). Torkild Resheim stepped back from Texlipse development last year and cited his focus on other things, so I think we can remove him as well (although, again, happy to discuss if he speaks up).

Hi Jay Jay, 
EMO can assist with that.
I will take care of Erwin, is there anyone else that needs to be retired from this role in the PMC?
Kind regards, 
Maria Teresa

Maria Teresa,

Thank you very much!

How do we handle retirements for PMC members? This process did not work for me when I tried it on, for example, Erwin De Ley, who is retired and no longer involved with Eclipse.

Hi Science PMC, 
I've scheduled the graduations reviews as requested by Jay Jay:

I will consider this email as a +1 for all the above mentioned graduation reviews.

Also, Jay Jay has brought to our attention that you might need a refresher on the committer/PL self-retirement process. The Eclipse Foundation Handbook provides some guidance regarding the process to do this: https://www.eclipse.org/projects/handbook/#elections-retire-cm (remember you need to be logged into your EF account).

If a PL needs to retire a committer for whatever reason, they can do so by logging into their EF accounts, navigating to the  project's "who's involved" tab and clicking on the committer in question, there, PLs will be prompted with a message and a checkbox to retire the committer (see example below):

Hope this helps, if you you find any issue during the retirement process please let us know, we'll be happy to assist you.
Kind regards, 
Maria Teresa

Thanks to everyone who attended the meeting today. I apologize again for the technical hiccup I experienced with Google Meet.

Here are the action items from the meeting, all of which I will handle.
* Retire inactive PMC members.
* Retire dead projects and inactive committers.
* Work with the EMO to schedule graduation reviews for StatET, Chemclipse, and SWT Chart. (The graduation review for Eclipse ICE is already scheduled.)
* Discuss the future of the Science Top-Level Project with Wayne Beaton (when he returns in August)

Please let me know if you have questions, especially those who could not attend.

Best,
Jay
