Re: [ecd-pmc] Request assistance for Eclipse Theia: approval for release 0.9.0
What we likely agreed to was that the project would continue to do releases outside of the Eclipse Development Process while engaged in the onboarding process. An official Eclipse Development Process release with the source code in a repository that's not hosted by the Eclipse Foundation is unprecedented.

My understanding is that all of the outstanding IP issues have been resolved. It appears that the repository has the necessary legal documentation in place, and that the project team is taking care to ensure that all contributors have signed the ECA and are signing-off their contributions. 

Other than the fact that the repository hasn't been migrated into an Eclipse Foundation organization, I don't see anything that will prevent the project from pushing out an incubation release. 

I need to sort out whether or not this is an invalid intermediate state that the EMO can support. It would certainly help me to decide if you could be more specific than "probably after summer vacations" regarding the timing of the migration. Are there other issues need to be resolved before you can move the repository?

Hi Nedelcho,


In the case of Eclipse Theia, we have a chicken-and-egg type situation: before moving the repo under Foundation control, we want to make sure we are able to release, as part of the Foundation, to avoid delaying releases and risk impacting project adoption.


I had a meeting in early April, with Sharon, Wayne and Gorkem, where we discussed the way forward. Though it was not required by the Foundation, I believe that it was agreed that we could go ahead with one of our monthly release, using the Foundation's process, before moving our repository. The plan was just delayed a bit to iron-out a couple of new IP issues that were noticed around that time.


Note that even if the main project's repo has not yet moved under Foundation control, the most recent state (master) has been subject to the Foundation's IP processes, such that no un-analysed content, that pre-dates the project's initial contribution, should be part of the release.


Regards,


Marc

Hi,

Including EMO as their statement here is required. As far as I remember all the official Eclipse projects have to be under the "eclipse" organization in GitHub and have to start with a clean repository.
