+ 1 for Nick Sandonato for Source Editing lead (where I am a committer ... 
I am not a committer for JSDT, but would vote +1 there too, if I were. :) 

And, thanks to you Nitin, for your many years of leadership of both 
projects.

Thanks, Nitin, for all your service to the projects and the Eclipse 
Community.

Project committers, with this note, Nitin has called for a vote to make 
Chris Jaun the project lead. We'll need some +1s to make that happen.

As mentioned in last week's status meeting, I'm stepping down as the lead 
for Source Editing and JSDT, and hopefully the nominations for my 
replacement won't be a shock to anyone.  While I won't be disappearing 
entirely, I have full faith in their ability to keep everything running 
smoothly as I take on new challenges from my employer.  Committers for the 
respective projects, please reply with your +1s by next week's status 
meeting in keeping with the guidelines at 
http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/development_process_2011.php#4_6_Leaders
 
and http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/Changing_Leadership . 

For JSDT I'm nominating Chris Jaun.  As one of the initial Committers on 
JSDT, even before we separated it into its own project, Chris undertook 
the messy task of removing a lot of vestigial code that was left over from 
the original forking from JDT.  Since then he's tackled memory problems 
and all sorts of bizarre exceptions and corner cases spanning hundreds of 
bug fixes, and shown a talent for and interest in project management that, 
frankly, exceeds my own.  If there's anyone to step in and take over those 
aspects while still having the know-how to help with the patch and bug 
backlog, it's Chris.  Please give him your support. 

As for Source Editing, I've been working on it for 13 years, give or take 
a couple of weeks, and for the last 5 of them Nick Sandonato's been my 
right hand.  He knows the code base as well as I do, even better than I do 
in a few places, and it's been an honor to be his mentor and friend the 
whole time.  Whether it's responding to bug reports with an event temper, 
keeping us from breaking the build too often, or mentoring potential 
Committers, there's no one I would trust more to take on the duties of the 
project lead.  Please give him your backing. 


For everyone else, the 3.4.2 site has been waiting patiently at 
http://eclipse.org/webtools/releases/3.4.2/ (releases/3.4.2 in our web 
site repository) if anyone has release notes to add.  Anything already 
intended for post-3.4.2 patch builds comes to mind.
