Here's the note I promised at last week's status meeting, which I also just posted on our newsgroup.

First, Tim Wagner announced last January he'd be resigning his WTP PMC Lead position, effective in March. As the PMC Lead position is an appointed position (not voted on) Mike Milinkovich researched, recruited, and recommended to the Eclipse Board of Directors (and they approved at their March 5th meeting) that WTP be co-lead by myself (David Williams) and Jess Garms. I have been involved with WTP since it's beginning and look forward to playing a larger leadership role. Likewise, Jess has been involved with Eclipse for many years in the APT component of JDT so will be a great addition to WTP-Eclipse leadership. Second, at our WTP PMC meeting on March 8th, we voted in two new members to the WTP PMC: Neil Hauge and Tim deBoer. Neil has long lead the JPA project (which recently graduated from incubation!). Tim has long lead the Server component of WTP and is quite familiar with all aspect of WTP. Third, in the past we have documented that we've had Architecture, Planning, and Requirements Groups in WTP to help manage these specific areas, with 4 to 6 members each. In practice, these have not work as "groups". That is, there have been few regular group meetings and even fewer group deliverables. So, instead, we will assign individual PMC members to be the focal point for these functions, and they will form groups, call meetings, get help, etc., as they need. So, this doesn't really represent a change in what we do ... but, we will be better documenting what we do. In fact, there are even additional and important roles in WTP that PMC members will fill: Architecture: Tim deBoer Quality: Neil Hauge Requirements: Raghu Srinivasan Education: Naci Dai Planning: David Williams Community Relations: Jess Garms As a corollary of these assignments, Tim deBoer will be our WTP representative to the EMO Architecture Council, and I, David Williams, will be our WTP representative to the EMO Planning Council. We will soon be better documenting what these roles mean and hope you will see their positive effects in the year(s) ahead. Please welcome these new members. We all look forward to your continued use (and help!) with WTP.
