Re: [equinox-dev] Project maya related to equinox?

[Jeff McAffer <Jeff_McAffer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a good question.  The basic
answer is that the Equinox provisioning work and the Maya work are complementary.
 Equinox provisioning is intended to be a "provisioning platform/framework"
with an examplary application being an Update Manager replacement.  Maya
will, eventually, use that same provisioning platform to implement a particular
brand of server managed provisioning.  In the mean time, Maya has
its own underlying infrastructure that it uses to do the actual moving
of bytes, installation/configuring of bundles, etc.  Over time the
plan is for them to move over to use the Equinox infrastructure.

Last April we all got together for a
Provisioning workshop 
        http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Ganymede_Provisioning_Workshop
and setout a number of terms and directions
as captured in the workshop results
        http://wiki.eclipse.org/Ganymede_Provisioning_Workshop_Breakout_Results
Note that one of those results was the
creation of a provisioning-dev mailing list
        https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/provisioning-dev
that can/should be used for general
provisioning related discussions.

I think these guys are actually pretty
far along.  I saw their talk at EclipseCon back in March (or was it
April?).  I think they’re a bunch of Cisco guys, but my memory is
hazy.  I think they were having some issues convincing Cisco to loosen
their fingers on some of the source.  But again, could be my bad memory.
 Their provisioning was designed for some reeeeally complex environments
if I recall.  But seems like their should be some synergy to
be had.

Hi,
 I just came across the page for this eclipse incubator project - Project
maya
http://www.eclipse.org/maya/

it seems to be doing some of the same things we are doing with the equinox
provisioning. 
anybody enlighten me how these two can be related?
