Greetings folks. Before I say anything else, let me start with this:
don't panic.
I have received the required PMC Approval of the review materials and IP
Team approval of the IP Logs for most of the projects participating in
the Mars release.
If I have everything that I need from you, your project will appear in
the project activity list [1] under June 10 reviews. Thank you for your
attention in this matter of process and please seek me out if you want a
beer or something at EclipseCon.
As most of you have likely discovered, I use bugs to track each release
review [2]. I've created a couple of different queries to help me keep
track of what we're waiting for.
I'm still waiting on PMC Approval of the review materials from several
projects [3]. I am either waiting for IP Logs or am waiting for
responses regarding questions about IP Logs from several projects [4].
If your project is on one of these lists, you need to take action now.
You've missed the deadline participate in the June 10 review and are
very late for IP Log reviews for a June 17 review. *Immediate action is
required if you intend to release with Mars.* Maybe you can panic a
little,..
If I've missed something, please first accept my humble apology, then be
kind in consideration of how mindnumbing processing a bajillion IP Logs
can be, and let me know what I've missed so that I can take the
necessary steps to remediate.
While I have your attention...
Those of you who created your own review records may have noticed that
the available dates for reviews has been made a little more restrictive.
Moving forward, we are only scheduling reviews on first and third
Wednesdays of the month. I'll admit that the timing of the change could
have been better (I probably should have waited until post Mars)
Exceptions may be permitted at my discretion, but only with input from
the PMC. My preference is to give projects as much flexibility as
possible, but, frankly, we've been running far too many review periods
over the last year or so and I just don't have the bandwidth to continue
to do weekly reviews.
Finally, I'd like to take this opportunity to remind you that IP
tracking needs to be current and complete at all times. You must obtain
approval from the IP Team before you check in any third party code
libraries or code contributions for which the IP due diligence process
mandates an IP Team review. Git commits must correctly indicate the
author of the contribution and all contributions by
non-project-committers must be signed off. If you have any questions
about this, please ask your project mentors, project lead, PMC members,
or me.
Thanks!
Wayne
