I am sending this note on behalf of the DSDP-PMC, since they are still
in the process of picking a successor for Doug Gaff to represent them
on the Planning Council.
Sequoyah [1] is a re-packaging and expansion [2] of the Project
previously known as TmL [3].
TmL was in Galileo, but with all the transition and transformation
into Sequoyah their builds were not ready for M4.
Eric Cloninger kept me informed of their status and outlook since
December of last year, so this isn't as "last minute" as it might
appear. Its been known for a while, plans in place, etc. and if
anything, their lack of a representative these past few months is the
reason for no earlier communication to the council (not, anything to
do with the Project itself).
From a business perspective, there are several justifications for
allowing this exception:
1) The charter change was to allow a unified place for mobile
application development to occur, which is one of the growth areas for
Eclipse
2) The project now contains the code behind Eclipse Pulsar (Eclipse
Mobile Industry Working Group) that has an EPP Package.
As I have stated before, I would like to abstain from these Exception
Votes, to make sure you, the Planning Council, are fully on board,
take responsibility for the content of the Simultaneous Release, and
avoid your tendency just to do as I say (ha ha). So, I'll be looking
for 3 +1 votes to consider this "approved". Please indicate your
approval, or not, by a response to this planning council list. Since a
full one week delay would interfere with getting M5 done, I've told
Eric he can take steps to get in the build, as long as he is willing
to revert, if it turns out there are objections
or a lack of support.
Thank you,
