The Development
of the
Eclipse Platform is organized into a set of Top
Level Projects,
each of which may
contain
one or more Projects. Each
Project
coordinates work on one
or more Subsystems. Each
Top Level Project has a Charter and is
managed by a
Project
Management Committee (PMC). The Charter
describes the purpose, scope,
and operational
rules for
the Top Level Project. The Board approves these Charters as
part of the Top
Level
Project approval. The EMO recruits a PMC Lead
who forms the
PMC. PMCs are
expected to
ensure that
• All
Projects operate
effectively by providing leadership to guide the Project’s
overall direction
and by
removing obstacles, solving problems, and resolving
conflicts.
• All
Project plans,
technical documents and reports are publicly available
• All
Projects operate
using open source rules of engagement: meritocracy,
transparency, and
open
participation. These principles work together. Anyone can
participate in a
Project.
This open interaction, from answering questions to
reporting bugs to
making
code contributions to creating designs, enables everyone
to recognize and
utilize the
contributions.
…
Strategic
Developers are
required to lead at least one Project, and encouraged to lead a
PMC. However, the
EMO may
approve any qualified individual to lead a PMC, and
PMCs may approve
any
qualified individual to lead a Project.

PMC Lead replacement
If the PMC Lead
position is
vacant, the EMO is responsible for recruiting a replacement.
If the PMC Lead
is not doing
a satisfactory job, the EMO can replace the PMC Lead with
Board approval.
