Re: [wtp-dev] Stepping down as project lead
|
Thank-you Nitin, for all of your efforts at Eclipse and of course good luck with future endeavors.
Your nominations indeed are not surprising and definitely make sense...
So... +1 for Chris and although not a committer on Source Editing +1 for Nick and his excellent work.

Subject: [wtp-dev] Stepping down as project lead
Sent by: wtp-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx
As mentioned in last week's status meeting, I'm stepping down as the
lead for Source Editing and JSDT, and hopefully the nominations for my
replacement won't be a shock to anyone. While I won't be disappearing
entirely, I have full faith in their ability to keep everything running
smoothly as I take on new challenges from my employer. Committers for
the respective projects, please reply with your +1s by next week's
status meeting in keeping with the guidelines at
http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/development_process_2011.php#4_6_Leaders
and http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/Changing_Leadership .
For JSDT I'm nominating Chris Jaun. As one of the initial Committers on
JSDT, even before we separated it into its own project, Chris undertook
the messy task of removing a lot of vestigial code that was left over
from the original forking from JDT. Since then he's tackled memory
problems and all sorts of bizarre exceptions and corner cases spanning
hundreds of bug fixes, and shown a talent for and interest in project
management that, frankly, exceeds my own. If there's anyone to step in
and take over those aspects while still having the know-how to help with
the patch and bug backlog, it's Chris. Please give him your support.
As for Source Editing, I've been working on it for 13 years, give or
take a couple of weeks, and for the last 5 of them Nick Sandonato's been
my right hand. He knows the code base as well as I do, even better than
I do in a few places, and it's been an honor to be his mentor and friend
the whole time. Whether it's responding to bug reports with an event
temper, keeping us from breaking the build too often, or mentoring
potential Committers, there's no one I would trust more to take on the
duties of the project lead. Please give him your backing.
For everyone else, the 3.4.2 site has been waiting patiently at
http://eclipse.org/webtools/releases/3.4.2/ (releases/3.4.2 in our web
site repository) if anyone has release notes to add. Anything already
intended for post-3.4.2 patch builds comes to mind.
