Re: [birt-dev] #666 the number of the BIRT

Wayne,

We appreciate everything you've done to help us get back on our feet.

I've received the email from Emo. Most of the recommended changes are boilerplate text, so I will review them and get them posted.

Wim, let me know if you want to send the email to the PMC or if you want me to do it.

I need to be more careful about how I use the term "review". 

So... no, I hadn't set it up, but I've asked EMO to make it happen. We're already done most of the leg work, so I think that the review should be pretty much a rubber stamp at this point.

Can I ask you, Wim, to request approval from the PMC for the release? Go here and click "Send Email to the PMC". I'd like you to do it, because (at least in part) me (BIRT committer) sending an email to me (PMC Member) feels weird.

This will be my last act as a committer on Eclipse BIRT. You're good to go and I'm adding nothing of particular value. I'll retire from the committer role following this release.

Note that following a successful review, the project can push out however many releases as they choose for a year.

Wayne, to be clear. You have scheduled a release review, correct?

I've run an IP Scan using the Eclipse Dash License Tool and have initiated reviews for the four libraries that it identified. Based on a cursory look, I don't anticipate problems. The reviews are underway.

We did it, people.

By closing the ominous issue #666 opened by Steve Schafer we have the confidence to call for a release review.

Being able to close this issue is the result of over 100 issues we have fixed in this milestone. [1]

This has been a great team effort. It was very nice to meet all of you on this rescue mission. There are still a few nuts to tighten but we are going to make the release date.

Thanks to all of you who made this possible and especially to the following people.

Alexander Fedorov, for being there from day one with reviews, patches, and advice
Alexander Lehman, for patches and advice
Claes Rossell, who singlehandedly broke through several major blockers including resurrecting the report viewer and bringing us to Jetty 10
Henning von Bargen was the main driver, by relentlessly pinging the issues for progress, bug reports, analysis, and testing
Steve Schafer worked on many issues but also the changing of the license from epl v1 to epl v2 (more than 5000 file changes)
Ed Merks, for helping create the development environment
Christophe Loetz, for creating our new website and logo

and also from Gabriel Einsdorf, the laserninja, Wyane Beaton and Bernhard Giselka.

To the batmobile. Let's go!

Cheers, Wim
