Dear Tractus-X Community,

and IP Policy Office Hours take place, see below.
It would be great if you could be there!
See you there

Greetings Committers.
Our March 2024 Committer Office hours are scheduled for
next Thursday. Details are at the bottom of this message.
I'd like to remind you that Eclipse open source projects
are required to operate in an open, transparent, and
meritocratic manner. These fundamental principles are
the foundation of the Eclipse Foundation Development Process
and the basis for vendor neutral open source.
Committer Elections
The process of adding committers to your project is also
open, transparent, and meritocratic. Before somebody can be
granted committer status, they need to demonstrate through a
public record of quality contribution that they are ready to
take on the responsibility.
In the nomination criteria for a
committer election,
this most often takes the form of a list of merged commits (a
pointer to the candidate's commit record is generally
sufficient).
The fact that somebody has been hired by your
organisation to take the role, is irrelevant in the context
of a committer election.
If somebody is ready to be a committer on your project,
they should reasonably be able to provide contributions in the
form of merge or pull requests, or engage in meaningful
discourse on issues and other public communication channels to
demonstrate that they're ready to take on that responsibility.
Google Summer of Code
The Eclipse Foundation has been accepted as a mentoring
organisation for Google Summer of Code 2024. Through this
programme, students can access funding to work on open source
projects. It's best that you think of this as an opportunity
to build a relationship with a student rather than as a means
to get some free work done. While it's often the case that
we're able to get some quality contributions from students,
they come at the expense of mentoring effort. Again, it's best
to think of it as an opportunity to build a relationship with
potential to pay off in the long run.
To give students a fighting chance of having their proposal
accepted, we provide a list of project ideas. We'd like to add
a few ideas for small (90h) student projects related to
security. For example:
- Adding/integrating your Eclipse project with sigstore;
- Adding support for Fuzzing via OSS-Fuzz, or
expanding fuzzing coverage where it already exists;
- Remediating known vulnerabilities;
- Improving build/release security by automating builds,
releases, adding build provenance, signing and improving
reproducibility; or
- Improving OpenSSF Scorecard
scores of projects (remediating various risk assessments).
Accepted student projects will benefit from working in
collaboration with a mentor from GOSST (Google Open Source
Security team). Please contact the EMO ASAP if you are
interested in getting your Eclipse project involved.
Office Hours
During this session, we'll tackle some frequently asked
questions. We already have a pretty good list, but if
there's something that you'd like to add to the list, let me
know.
March 14 2024 at 1330h UTC
(1430h CET, 0930h EDT)
We'll capture a recording of this session and include
it along with the recordings of past sessions on the
EMO's
Project Calendar page
(note that there are links on this page to import our
calendar).
