Hey Scott,
The interesting thing is to
understand
what things you (potential committers in general) would work on.
Eclipse
projects that have approval to use some third party libs should also
look
to have these libs bundled in Orbit. The libs may already be a bundled
or you may need to "contribute" bundled versions. In the
former case you are done and there is no particular need to take on the
responsibilities of being an Orbit committer. In the latter case
you can decide to contribute and maintain the bundled version (and
future
versions) of the libs you need. In that way it is akin to how it
works on other projects: you are coming with an initial contribution
and committing to nurturing and maintaining it.
Look at it this way, if you are
already
setting up and maintaining bundled versions of third party libs in your
project then you are a prime candidate for being an Orbit committer and
doing that work in Orbit where it can be easily discovered and shared.
I see. Yeah actually I was thinking
1) Suggest moving the Jive Smack Libs to Orbit under ECF (once they
have the providermanager made extensible...I've been working with Matt
Tucker on this)
2) I'm thinking that the Maven 'embedded' (Maven runtime API) could
also eventually go under Orbit (associated with the heretofore project
called 'CITP'...probably moving to be called 'Kepler') as a plugin/set
of plugins.
So I guess I wouldn't need separate approval to contribute either/both
of these to Orbit as long as people come to agreement about
contribution appropriateness for Orbit (and all legal checks passed,
etc)?
Scott
Make sense?
Jeff
This is Scott Lewis, committer and project lead
for
the Eclipse
Communication Framework. http://www.eclipse.org/ecf.
I'm interested in becoming an Orbit committer. Would this be possible?
What should I do to make it so (assuming this is OK with existing
committers, of course).
Thanksinadvance,
Scott
