The Development of the
Eclipse Platform is organized into a set of Top Level Projects,
each of which may contain
one or more Projects. Each Project
coordinates work on one
or more Subsystems. Each Top Level Project has a Charter and is managed by a
Project Management Committee (PMC). The Charter
describes the purpose, scope,
and operational rules for
the Top Level Project. The Board approves these Charters as
part of the Top Level
Project approval. The EMO recruits a PMC Lead who forms the
PMC. PMCs are expected to
ensure that
• All Projects operate
effectively by providing leadership to guide the Project’s
overall direction and by
removing obstacles, solving problems, and resolving
conflicts.
• All Project plans,
technical documents and reports are publicly available
• All Projects operate
using open source rules of engagement: meritocracy,
transparency, and open
participation. These principles work together. Anyone can
participate in a Project.
This open interaction, from answering questions to
reporting bugs to making
code contributions to creating designs, enables everyone
to recognize and utilize the
contributions.
…
Strategic Developers are
required to lead at least one Project, and encouraged to lead a
PMC. However, the EMO may
approve any qualified individual to lead a PMC, and
PMCs may approve any
qualified individual to lead a Project.
…
5. PMC Lead replacement
If the PMC Lead position is
vacant, the EMO is responsible for recruiting a replacement.
If the PMC Lead is not doing
a satisfactory job, the EMO can replace the PMC Lead with
Board approval.
