Thanks, Nitin, for all your service to the projects and the Eclipse
Community.
Project committers, with this note, Nitin has called for a vote to
make Chris Jaun the project lead. We'll need some +1s to make that
happen.

As
mentioned in last week's status meeting, I'm stepping down as the
lead for Source Editing and JSDT, and hopefully the nominations
for my replacement won't be a shock to anyone. While I won't be
disappearing entirely, I have full faith in their ability to keep
everything running smoothly as I take on new challenges from my
employer. Committers for the respective projects, please reply
with your +1s by next week's status meeting in keeping with the
guidelines at
http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/development_process_2011.php#4_6_Leaders
and
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/Changing_Leadership
.
For JSDT I'm nominating Chris Jaun. As one of the initial
Committers on JSDT, even before we separated it into its own
project, Chris undertook the messy task of removing a lot of
vestigial code that was left over from the original forking from
JDT. Since then he's tackled memory problems and all sorts of
bizarre exceptions and corner cases spanning hundreds of bug
fixes, and shown a talent for and interest in project management
that, frankly, exceeds my own. If there's anyone to step in and
take over those aspects while still having the know-how to help
with the patch and bug backlog, it's Chris. Please give him your
support.
As for Source Editing, I've been working on it for 13 years, give
or take a couple of weeks, and for the last 5 of them Nick
Sandonato's been my right hand. He knows the code base as well as
I do, even better than I do in a few places, and it's been an
honor to be his mentor and friend the whole time. Whether it's
responding to bug reports with an event temper, keeping us from
breaking the build too often, or mentoring potential Committers,
there's no one I would trust more to take on the duties of the
project lead. Please give him your backing.
For everyone else, the 3.4.2 site has been waiting patiently at
http://eclipse.org/webtools/releases/3.4.2/ (releases/3.4.2 in our
web site repository) if anyone has release notes to add. Anything
already intended for post-3.4.2 patch builds comes to mind.
