Re: [wtp-dev] Stepping down as project lead

+ 1 for Nick Sandonato
for Source Editing lead (where I am a committer ... I am not a committer
for JSDT, but would vote +1 there too, if I were. :)
And, thanks to you Nitin, for your many
years of leadership of both projects.

Thanks, Nitin, for all your service to the projects and
the Eclipse Community.
Project committers, with this note, Nitin has called for a vote to make
Chris Jaun the project lead. We'll need some +1s to make that happen.

As mentioned in last week's status meeting, I'm stepping
down as the lead for Source Editing and JSDT, and hopefully the nominations
for my replacement won't be a shock to anyone. While I won't be disappearing
entirely, I have full faith in their ability to keep everything running
smoothly as I take on new challenges from my employer. Committers
for the respective projects, please reply with your +1s by next week's
status meeting in keeping with the guidelines at http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/development_process_2011.php#4_6_Leaders
and http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/Changing_Leadership
.
For JSDT I'm nominating Chris Jaun. As one of the initial Committers
on JSDT, even before we separated it into its own project, Chris undertook
the messy task of removing a lot of vestigial code that was left over from
the original forking from JDT. Since then he's tackled memory problems
and all sorts of bizarre exceptions and corner cases spanning hundreds
of bug fixes, and shown a talent for and interest in project management
that, frankly, exceeds my own. If there's anyone to step in and take
over those aspects while still having the know-how to help with the patch
and bug backlog, it's Chris. Please give him your support.
As for Source Editing, I've been working on it for 13 years, give or take
a couple of weeks, and for the last 5 of them Nick Sandonato's been my
right hand. He knows the code base as well as I do, even better than
I do in a few places, and it's been an honor to be his mentor and friend
the whole time. Whether it's responding to bug reports with an event
temper, keeping us from breaking the build too often, or mentoring potential
Committers, there's no one I would trust more to take on the duties of
the project lead. Please give him your backing.
For everyone else, the 3.4.2 site has been waiting patiently at http://eclipse.org/webtools/releases/3.4.2/
(releases/3.4.2 in our web site repository) if anyone has release notes
to add. Anything already intended for post-3.4.2 patch builds comes
to mind.
