Re: [science-pmc] ChemClipse / Retire Project Lead
|
Hi PMC/EMO,
I'm fine with retirement, as from my experiences ChemClipse is
effectively a project only managed for the whole purpose of Lablicate
GmbH, so you are either working for Lablicate GmbH or it is impossible
to make substantial contributions:
- issues are created and instantly fixed by a commit so no way to really
participate here, as there is no API baseline constantly break existing
code without any notice
- on the other hand code contributed by me are just reverted/removed or
even reclaimed as own code, my request to just working on distinct
branches was rejected
- No releases for years or even a downloads of ChemClipse (beside
building from source), so there is no real way for any community wanting
to actually use it as is, as a real open-source solution without any
additional terms
- Lablicate GmbH even tried to sue me on court for offering solutions
based on ChemClipse
So for me ChemClipse is just a dead-end for any open-source minded
contributor and I thus won't mind leaving it.
Anyways it was fun to work on ChemClipse and I wish all the best to
current and future contributors and of course the whole science community.
Have a good day,
Christoph

Dear PMC,
I would like to retire Christoph Läubrich as a project lead / committer
of ChemClipse:
https://github.com/eclipse/chemclipse
Christoph has not taken any actions since April 15th 2020 on ChemClipse:
https://github.com/eclipse/chemclipse/commits?author=laeubi
My relation to Christoph is problematic. He worked two years for my
company Lablicate GmbH. Eventually, in February 2020 he had to go due to
several reasons. I kept him in the position of a project lead /
committer for 2 years now to see if he will keep on supporting the
project, despite of our conflict. As it turned out, he offers a similar
software, based on ChemClipse, since 2020:
https://labratry.de/en
As he didn't do any commits on ChemClipse but seems to be very active on
his own project, I assume that he either just consumes the ChemClipse
bundles as is or has deeply forked the source code of ChemClipse.
That's the reason why I'd like to retire him as a project lead / committer.
Best,
Philip
