Re: [gmf-dev] GMF Tooling Committers
|
Hi Anthony,
Perhaps I didn't express myself clear enough, although I feel Ed got my point right somewhere down the thread. At the moment, there are two 'partial' commitments (mine and Mikael's "I won't
be able to spend much time on GMF itself (maybe a very few hours a
month)", and Michael's promised 100%. Perhaps, I'm too much pessimistic, but I'd top it up to a man and a half ;) Not too much workforce, right? Besides, Michael G. has no experience with simultaneous release (UML2 Tools didn't take part in Helios) and it would just hog his invaluable time.
Moreover, personally I don't see a tangible benefits of being on the Indigo train for the project. However, the point Ed made about 'once in, forever in' makes perfect sense. I didn't object participation, though, rather questioned if there's willingness to sacrifice scarce time of this "fraction-challenged" developer ;)
Best wishes,
Artem Tikhomirov

Hi Artem,
Suggesting "GMF tooling project
not to join Indigo train" because you have no time to lead the project
is not a good solution. GMF Tooling leaving the release train is the worst
case scenario. Hopefully others in the development community can express
a similar opinion.
Michael Golubev is willing to commit
100% of his time to GMF Tooling starting December 12. Given his GMF experience
leading UML2 Tools, I would suggest he can take over leadership of GMF
Tooling and with help from the other committers get GMF Tooling back on
track.
What do you all think?
Cheers...
Anthony

GMF Tooling Committers

Hi Everyone,
As of today, I can not dedicate too much time to the project, although
I expect this to change in the coming months. Given there are parties interested
in active development of the project right now, I'm eager to support this
undertaking as much as I can. First, I'm going to review code submissions
from Mickael I. and Michael G. to back up nomination them as committers,
update bugzilla to reflect actual plans for this iteration and of course
take care of administrivia (project meta data, etc).
Michael G. and Mikael I., I believe you have certain ideas what you'd
like to focus on in the project. I'd ask you to reflect these in bugzilla,
either reassigning existing bugs or filing new ones (please, check for
existing first!). Forum is another nice place to show your expertise meanwhile.
I know, writing code is much more fun, but being committer means there's
a lot of extra dull work to do ;).
Given limited resources, I would suggest GMF tooling project not
to join Indigo train, otherwise being aligned with the its release schedule.
However, if Mickael I. would like to take the responsibility and the burden
:) there'd be no objection, I believe.
Best wishes,
Artem Tikhomirov

Hi Team,
As lead of the GMP project, I want to make sure everyone is fully aware
of the decision making that has to happen in the next few weeks with regards
to the GMF Tooling project.
Recall that GMF Tooling was a modeling project lead by Borland. Historically
there have never been any non-Borland committers in the project. Borland
was acquired by Micro Focus and the original Borland committers are no
longer are active in GMF Tooling. Both Alex S and Artem have been very
active over the last five years, but the activity has stopped suddenly.
Alex S had his last commit in Feb 2010 and Artem had his last commit in
April 2010. I am not sure what their plans are currently, but it would
be extremely useful if they let the rest of their Eclipse team know.
During the Helios release and during the GMF restructure, I was added as
a committer to help with releasing of the overall GMF projects to the Helios
release as well as completing the restructure. The intent was that the
commit rights were temporary, since I was never actually voted on as an
official GMF Tooling committer. I am really only the lead and committer
for the GMF Runtime and GMF Notation projects within the GMF umbrella project.
We are at the situation now where GMF Tooling really has no active committers.
I have a few emails from developers who are interested. I have asked each
of them to document their interest in the GMF development newsgroup.
We need to staff the project with a set of developers who will bring GMF
Tooling into the Indigo release. These developers do not just code, they
will be expected to do all the administrative things a project is required
to do on the Eclipse simultaneous release. We need to have some of these
tasks completed before the M4 milestone, which is the third week of December,
so there is some urgency to get things moving.
So once again, would all those interested parties interested in helping
GMF Tooling into the Indigo release, please let all of us know in the development
newsgroup.
I also need Artem as lead of the GMF Tooling project to let us know his
plans. If we do not hear anything back before the end of November, we will
have no choice but to replace Artem with a new GMF Tooling project lead.
Cheers...
Anthony
