Re: [udig-dev] technology-pmc exemption discussion

[Wayne Beaton <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

For any "works with" dependency, the PMC needs to determine if the request is reasonable from a technology point-of-view. We don't need to include anybody else in this discussion, unless there is some exceptional need. If we are unable to make the technical assessment ourselves, we might consider including subject matter experts, but I'm pretty sure that this isn't the case here.

Hi Frank:

Responding to your question "on the side" so it does not get in the way of the discussion of the JAI and ImageIO exemption request.

My understanding is that asking for an exemption needs to go up the chain of command for a sanity check as it is not a common occurrence

Agree, wondering how long this could take. However, I guess you prepared it very well. 

Thanks, I only have our conversation with Wayne to gauge timeframe. I have not done this before either.

But who is on the other end to discuss this request? IP Team / Technology heads of LocationTech / Eclipse.

The Technology PMC list is the correct place for discussion. Wayne is there anyone else who needs to be involved in this stage?

Have you already created an CQ by now? If so, could you share the link here?

I have not created the CQ, although I think you have rounded up an excellent description of what we need to distribute.

Aside: I am not going to return to CQ land until tomorrow evening. I expect a CQ number is not needed for the discussion to take place.
