Re: [science-iwg] Review BoF EclipseCon

Hi,

While it does not contain that many projects yet and some are "cross-cutting" other areas like RT, LocationTech, not just technology, the M2M landing page is a nice example with a fresh look. Among the few standalone projects that did something similar seems EMF Client: http://www.eclipse.org/emfclient/

A poster child among existing projects looking like a good match for a Science umbrella (or at least WG for now) would be STEM. Others like the discussed Nebula Visualization or UOMo have  strong use cases in the Science domain, but could be used in other areas, too, take other widgets from Nebula Incubator like GeoMap, that seems to have strong ties to the "Top level" separate LocationTech initiative.

STEM has a conference call every week, if Philip or others from the group wish to discuss what is relevant to this project, please consider joining the call, at least occasionally (like I do, at times almost weekly, sometimes a bit less)

A little Eclipse terminology is needed here:

  * "Working groups" don't own projects. Working groups are intended to
    be forums for member companies, committers, and invited others work
    to complement what is being built in the projects.
  * We are starting to see a pattern where we create a top-level project
    with the same name as the working group. Examples include Polarsys,
    LocationTech, and hopefully soon M2M. It is the top-level project
    and its Project Management Committee (PMC) that ties the projects to
    the Eclipse Development Process.

I would highly encourage this group to consider replicating how the M2M
folks got started. That is, simply create a number of projects in the
Technology top-level project which is the normal place to start
incubators. Once you have a collection of projects started and running
and everyone is more familiar with the various Eclipse processes you
then create a new top-level project and bring the project community
together. In the meantime, all of the community and cross-project
discussions can happen on the science-iwg list.

Similar to M2M, we should also create a science.eclipse.org landing page
(or whichever name folks get comfortable with) to provide a "home" for
the community. See m2m.eclipse.org as an example.

I hope that helps.

At Eclipse, we assign ids to projects. The ids take the form of
<top-level>.<project>. So we have, for example, projects named
technology.egit, and technology.kura. We also have more deeply nested
projects like modeling.emf.cdo. In general, I tend to discourage that
sort of project nesting primarily because it's just not necessary. The
project id is not widely exposed. It is part of the URL for project
"information pages" (e.g.
http://projects.eclipse.org/project/technology.egit).

The last segment of the id is the short name (e.g. technology.kura's
short name is "kura"); we use that in the Java package and OSGi bundle
names (e.g. org.eclipse.kura). We tackle namespace rules for other
languages as they come up. That name is also used for the project's
optional website (e.g. http://www.eclipse.org/kura) and downloads
directory (e.g. http://download.eclipse.org/kura). I encourage the use
of the short name in wiki page names as well (e.g. "Kura/Getting Started").

Using just the short name in namespaces makes it far less disruptive on
adopters/consumers when a project switches from, say the Technology
top-level project to the new and shiny Science top-level project.

HTH,

Wayne
