[simrel-dev] Staging for SimRel 2025-12 RC1 is Complete

[Ed Merks <ed.merks@xxxxxxxxx>]

The SimRel project website provides one-stop shopping:

https://eclipse.dev/simrel/

You can easily find the current schedule via the navigation bar:

There is also the list of Participants which includes links to N&N (release notes).   If you have comments about the N&N link for your project, please use this issue for that purpose:

https://github.com/eclipse-simrel/simrel.build/issues/1053

At the end of the release cycle (during the quiet period after RC2) I will update  (regenerate) the N&N links a final time.  I'll review them and any that don't look to contain any interesting current information, I will simply delete. 

The more detailed Contributor Report is also now available on the website.

Some of you may be interested in SBOM generation:

 https://eclipse.dev/simrel/cbi/?file=eclipse-cbi/p2repo-sbom/main/docs/index.md

I'm still fleshing out the documentation.  Nevertheless, I've been using this to generate an SBOM for Orbit and for SimRel.  You all have access to these:

• https://sbom.eclipse.org/projects/5efe6b7a-9439-4c59-9602-c4a1a4e79725
• https://sbom.eclipse.org/projects/220b8a94-4a83-49f3-a9b7-8067d17fafad
