Re: [imagen-dev] Introducing myself and suggesting a way forward for the

Hi Andrea,

First, I think this is great; I am +1 on you being added as a committer to this project.  With the greater context of this project, I will say that you could have been added as a committer at any point. 

In terms of the Eclipse process, I believe the existing committers would need to nominate and elect you as a committer.

From the Eclipse project page (https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.imagen/who), the committers are 

Jeffrey Xie
Jody Garnett
Simone Giannecchini

Any of them could go to the Eclipse portal, and nominate you.  That'd start an election which runs for a week (or until everyone responds).

Hope that helps!

Jim

Hi all,

I've just subscribed to the developer list and I'd like to introduce myself.

My name's Andrea Aime, I've been a long-time developer, and PMC member, 

of the GeoTools and GeoServer projects, as well as the JAI-EXT project,

which extends JAI with several fixes, performance improvements, along with

NODATA support.

In the GeoTools ecosystem we'd like to remove the JAI dependency and 

adopt ImageN instead. To do so, ImageN needs to be improved, and tests

be added on all operators and core classes we use.

The idea is to merge JAI-EXT and ImageN, grabbing in the process all

the existing tests, improvements and bug fixes already done in such project,

following this draft plan (to be discussed):

https://github.com/aaime/imagen/wiki/JAI%E2%80%90Ext-GeoTools-GeoWebCache-GeoServer,-migration-to-ImageN

To implement this vision I'd like to request commit access to the ImageN project.

Best regards

Andrea
