[babel-dev] Welcome Martin, Alexej and Stefan

[Denis Roy <denis.roy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd like to welcome Martin, Alexej and Stefan as committers to the Babel 
project.

As you've seen from past posts, they have brought their Messages editor 
enhancements and RBE tools (affectionately called "Tapiji") to Babel.  
The committer process is well under way, and they should be receiving 
their committer accounts shortly.

In the meanwhile, please familiarize yourselves with the Eclipse 
Development process:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Development_Resources

Specifically:
- IP Due Diligence.  In very short, if you accept code contributions 
from non-committers, they must be attached to a bug where the 
contributor states they have authored 100% of the code.  If the 
contribution is < 250 lines, it can be committed without review. 
Otherwise, a CQ must be opened.  We'll help you.  Also, if you wish to 
use third-party code, it must be approved by the IP team.  There are 
thousands of packages that are already approved - it is best to look 
through IPZilla (https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla) to see what has 
cleared and what has not.

- IT Infrastructure: http://wiki.eclipse.org/IT_Infrastructure_Doc If 
you want to use Hudson, sign your plugins, how to make plugins available 
for download, etc.


If you have any questions, please post them on this list, and Kit and I 
will do our best to assist.  Furthermore, we encourage open and 
transparent conversation, even if it's amongst yourselves.  The more you 
post on this list, the happier everyone is!
