Dear Technology PMC,
This is to notify you about a requirement for a deviation
of standard package naming for a part of Triquetrum, i.e.
not following the advised org.eclipse.<project>...
naming. We've got an OK for this from Wayne, on the related
incubation mail thread (cfr below).
For one of our lines of work, we will provide connectors to
external systems and to distributed resource managers
(a.k.a. grids etc).
DRMAA [1] is an interesting initiative to define a standard
API for job submission and monitoring on DRMs.
There is no standard Java
API source code available yet, let alone as an OSGi bundle,
and we would provide that in Triquetrum.
There is an advised binding definition though [2].
This requires using the package name
org.ggf.drmaa
for the API definition.
The DRMAA group has expressed interest to potentially use
this as the basis for a Java reference
definition/implementation.
For actual implementations for concrete DRMS we will be
using the normal package naming rules.
regards
erwin

Yes. Use the package name space that makes the best
technical sense.
However... please ensure that the package name does not
infringe on trademarks held by others or that you follow
the the rules established for their use.
Also... bear in mind that I will completely forget that
the conversation occurred and at some point in the future
(likely when you're asking me to review an IP Log) I will
almost certainly ask you about the package name (we really
need to come up with a way to track this sort of thing).
It's a good idea to just let the PMC know that you're
doing this. They shouldn't push back, but it's good for
them to know.
Wayne
