Becoming an Eclipse Committer

Tuesday, April 7, 2020 - 10:11 by Wayne Beaton

Committers are the developers who hold the keys for an open source project. They are the ones who get to push code directly to source code repositories, configure build servers, push the output of builds to the download server, and so on. They are the ones who make decisions that set the path of their open source project.

Specification Scope in Jakarta EE

Monday, April 8, 2019 - 10:56 by Wayne Beaton

With the Eclipse Foundation Specification Process (EFSP) a single open source specification project has a dedicated project team of committers to create and maintain one or more specifications. The cycle of creation and maintenance extends across multiple versions of the specification, and so while individual members may come and go, the team remains and it is that team that is responsible for the every version of that specification that is created.

License Certification (Mostly) Just Happens

Wednesday, July 19, 2017 - 13:17 by Wayne Beaton

The Eclipse Intellectual Property Policy defines two types of intellectual property (IP) due diligence for third party content. The so-called Type A Due Diligence is concerned exclusively with license certification; and Type B Due Diligence is concerned with license certification, provenance checking and a deep dive scan of the content for various anomalies.

Long-time Eclipse Committer, Ian Bull initiated a interesting short chat on Twitter yesterday about one big challenge when it comes to intellectual property (IP) management.
