Re: [technology-pmc] Release Review Request MAT 0.7

["Chris Aniszczyk" <caniszczyk@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think this is a great idea I'm impressed with MAT's plan and tools themselves. So definitely a +1 on the release review.

As a favor to me and I think in alignment of your "Building Community" project goals, how about becoming part of the Galileo Simultaneous Release?

It shouldn't take much for you to become part of the release and we as the Technology PMC can guide you in this process.

The biggest challenge will be to ensure you have a consistent build process and can sign your bundles. Here is the list of Must Do's:

On a side note, have you talked to the guys at IBM about contributing the code from Alphaworks to Eclipse? It would be easier for communities to consume.

Dear Technology PMC Members,

we'd like to request your approval to schedule a release review of our first interim release (0.7) of the Memory Analyzer.

Please find attached a set of draft slides for the review.

The rationale for the interim release is this:
* IBM has released an adapter on Alphaworks which allows users to analyze system dumps from IBM virtual machines. Supported are J9 and Sovereign VMs starting with IBM JDK 1.4.2 SR12, 5.0 SR8a and 6.0 SR2. As we continue to develop, outside communication is easier if there is a stable version available.

* While community interest is still low, it is slowly picking up. After all, this is a niche tool. The download numbers show on average 450 downloads per week (not counting the update site), newsgroup and bugzilla usage is up. By providing a stable and release version, we hope to increase interest and signal the relative maturity of the Memory Analyzer.

Please let me know if you need further material.


Thanks & Kind Regards,

Andreas.
