Re: [pde-dev] Invitation for an open Eclipse IDE - Developers community

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Hannes,

I don't think we've ever met, but I'm Scott Lewis, project lead for ECF, which provides the 'filetransfer' component for use in p2 in Eclipse along with a full and compliant implementation of the OSGi Remote Services and Remote Service Admin specifications.

Since ECF is one of the two or three projects that Eclipse depends upon (EMF and one other?) I think ECF filetransfer qualifies as Eclipse core.

In any event, I thought you might want to discuss in this meeting that ECF has been supported by me and others for about 20 years now with minimal corp or other support...and that's soon coming to an end one way or another.  See my posting on rt-pmc mailing list [1].

I would like to attend this meeting but I'm not sure if I'll be able to.  Just thought you and the wider dev community would want to know and this seemed like a good way to spread the word.  Thanks BTW for putting this together.

Regards,

Scott

Dear fellow Eclipse developers,

 

all discussions about the development of Eclipse currently happen in textual form, but some topics are discussed easier and faster in person and personal connections can improve.

Therefore I want to invite you to an open Eclipse core developer video call starting at

 

Thursday 13th of June, 14:00 UTC / 16:00 CEST / 10:00 EDT / 19:30 IST

 

and to be repeated every two weeks (given there is constant interest).

 

Everyone that participates or is interested in participating in the development of the Eclipse core itself is invited to join, newcomers are explicitly encouraged to join too. It is planned as an open meeting without a fixed agenda, where everyone can suggest to discuss general or specific topics, changes or issues or can ask questions.

This call is dedicated to the development of the core of Eclipse itself, mainly the top-level projects Eclipse-Platform [1], Equinox [2], Eclipse Java development tools (JDT) [3] and Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment (PDE) [4]. It is not intended to provide support for users or consumers of Eclipse, for that other channels exists.

If specific issues or changes are discussed, the exchanged arguments should be summarized in the corresponding issues or Pull-Requests and if decisions are made they should be justified. Of course others not participating in the call should still have the same chance to influence a decision.
