Re: [recommenders-dev] SnipMatch Local Installation Instructions (and se

[Marcel Bruch <bruch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Doug,

Thanks! I'm looking forward to see SnipMatch in action this afternoon.

Regarding the upload:
The process is a bit more involved than "just upload" :) Your code has to be checked for IP violations by the Eclipse IP team before it can be checked in. Also one of the existing committers has to review the code and check that it satisfies Eclipse naming conventions etc.

For a quick introduction to the IP process, please read these two pages:

http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/ip-process-in-cartoons.php
http://www.eclipse.org/legal/EclipseLegalProcessPoster.pdf


You and Zi should also read the collection of pages for new committers (especially the naming section) here: 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Recommenders/CommitterResources


So, how should we continue? I'd like to propose the following:

1. You put your code into a GIT repository hosted at eclipselabs.org/p/code-recommenders
2. One committer the reviews the code and checks it for accordance to naming conventions, legal stuff such as license headers etc, and potential privacy concerns.
3. In parallel, we setup a maven build for the project and create a build job for snipmatch.
4. If our review and the automated build works, you create a zip file from the repository and attach it to Eclipse's bugzilla.
5. I'll then initiate the official IP legal check.

Please note that the legal process (step 5) may take up to 4 weeks until it got reviewed by the IP team. In the meanwhile, we (you, Zi, and committers) can continue development at Eclipselabs and start your committer election. If both processes completed, we move snipmatch to the repository at eclipse.org (moving to Eclipse.org before you have committer status doesn't make much sense since this would lock you out).

Could you send me your and Zi's Google email addresses? I'll add you to the eclipselabs committer list and prepare a repository.
IMHO we should move to eclipselabs as soon as possible and setup the automated build in the case we need emergency fixes.

Thanks,
Marcel
