Greetings Ecipse Technical Advisory Committee.
Thank you for your review of the EDP updates.
I've applied updates based on your recommendations and those from the Board of Directors, and now regard it as the final draft. I've attached PDFs of the EDP update and diff documents.
My deadline to send this to the board for their review and approval is June 3 (this Wednesday). My apologies for the short notice.
Please review it and let me know if you have any concerns.
Since we last reviewed it, I've made the following changes:
I removed the content regarding the Project Security Team. As we discussed, I don't believe this update to the development process is necessary to support the notion of a Project Security Team. However, I will leave the corresponding issue open, as I believe we should reconsider including it in a future complete rewrite of the process.
I removed the paragraph that made the EMO's authority to remove inactive committers explicit. As we discussed, this authority is already granted in wording of what is now Section 3.2.
I restored the section on namespaces. I believe we need a larger discussion regarding the coordination of PMCs in matters such as this. Again, my thinking is that we should consider doing this as part of a future complete rewrite.
The term "Membership at Large" is no longer in the bylaws, so I've replaced it with "General Assembly', which is defined in the bylaws.
I removed all "Reserved" headings, renumbered the sections, and modernised the anchors (the original anchors still work).
