Description Wayne Beaton CLA 2018-03-26 15:50:45 EDT
We’ll use this Bugzilla record to track the onboarding process for the project. This channel will be the primary means of communication for the project team, your mentors, and the Eclipse Foundation during this process. 
 
To get started on your new project, we need to do the following:
-Ensure that all of the committers listed on the proposal have Eclipse Foundation Accounts [1]
-Identify a mentor for the project
-Transfer ownership of the project name trademark to the Eclipse Foundation
-Get approval for non-standard licensing from the Eclipse Foundation’s Board of Directors

We will open separate Bugzilla records to track this.
 
Once we have all of the requirements above and the proposal has been open for community review for a minimum of two weeks, we will schedule the project for creation. If you have any questions for us, please feel free to reach out anytime! As well, if you’d like an overview of the project creation process, check out our Project Handbook [2].

We look forward to working with you and your team to make this project a success!

Comment 1 Mark Healy CLA 2018-03-27 05:13:55 EDT
Hi Wayne,

In relation to the "non standard licensing" - I'm flexible on the licensing used, so if it's easier to change the licensing model, we can do this instead?

Comment 2 Benjamin Cabé CLA 2018-03-27 13:56:10 EDT
It looks like the project proposal already indicates EPL 2.0? But I guess you are referring to the code on Github being ASLv2?
You being the sole copyright holder (I think?) it would certainly make things simpler for you to just relicense the existing codebase under EPL, otherwise we will need to get approval from the Eclipse Foundation's Board of Directors as Wayne mentioned.

Sorry, this is boilerplate text that I forget to tune. I should have removed that line. Please ignore.
Comment 4 Mark Healy CLA 2018-03-28 05:39:11 EDT
No problem Wayne, although Benjamin raises a good point on the GitHub repos - I'm happy to use EPL for these also.

Let me know if you want me to update these now, or if it can wait until later in the process
Comment 5 Wayne Beaton CLA 2018-03-28 11:29:36 EDT
Jens has volunteered to mentor. I'll update the proposal.
Comment 6 Wayne Beaton CLA 2018-03-28 13:22:19 EDT
We’ve received all of the project requirements and have scheduled the creation review to conclude on April 18/2018. Please continue to monitor communication channels.

Following the creation review, we will initiate the provisioning process. As part of this process, we will bring committers on board. To gain committer status, some paperwork [1] must be completed. The exact nature of that paperwork depends on several factors, including the employment status of the individual and the Eclipse Foundation membership status of the employer.

If you can be ready with the paperwork in time for the completion of the creation review, then we can move quickly through the provisioning process. When we initiate provisioning, committers will be sent an email with instructions; please don't send any paperwork in until after you receive those instructions.

Please encourage all future project committers to join the incubation mailing list [2]. We use this list to connect committers from new projects to their peers in other projects in the incubation phase and to mentors who can help answer questions and discuss issues related to the project onboarding process.

Comment 7 Wayne Beaton CLA 2018-04-18 14:30:02 EDT
Congratulations! Your project review is successful!

We will initiate the project resources provisioning process shortly. Please tell your project committers to carefully monitor their email for a message from The Eclipse Foundation with instructions for providing committer paperwork [1].

Our IT team cannot allocate project resources until after we have processed the paperwork for at least one committer, so your attention in this matter will keep the process moving forward. Be advised that the paperwork process will time out after 120 days; any committers who are unable to complete their paperwork requirements in this timeframe will have to be elected to the project (your project mentors can provide assistance with this).

Comment 8 Eclipse Webmaster CLA 2018-04-27 11:29:21 EDT
The project provisioning process is complete! Here you will find all of the information regarding resources allocated to your project:

Source Code Management:(Existing at Github)      

As your project's main Git repository is hosted at GitHub, we will need to move it to the Eclipse organization and flatten any previous history.  This work can begin as soon as you have check in permission from EMO legal.

Comment 9 Wayne Beaton CLA 2018-04-27 12:05:59 EDT
Thanks Matt.

Mark, your next step is to submit an initial contribution [1] for review by the IP Team. 

Please do not commit any code to an Eclipse Foundation Git repository until after you receive the IP Team's approval. 

IP requests are referred to as Contribution Questionnaires (CQs).  

When the initial CQ receives “check in” and/or “full approval” you are now ready to check the initial project code contribution into your project’s repository.

Comment 10 Mark Healy CLA 2018-04-27 12:12:32 EDT
Hi Wayne & Matt,

That's great, thanks for all your help. I'll start working on the CQ

Have a great weekend

Mark
Comment 11 Jens Reimann CLA 2018-04-30 03:16:45 EDT
@mark: Let me know when you have any questions about CQs, the Eclipse IP process or anything else. You can contact me directly via e-mail if you like.
Comment 12 Cydnie Smith CLA 2018-07-31 09:44:23 EDT
It appears that the initial contribution has been checked in, but there have been no contributions to the repository since then. What is the status of this project?

What are your plans regarding your first release?
Comment 13 Mark Healy CLA 2018-07-31 15:14:22 EDT
I'm finalising a couple of things at the moment:
- A final CQ for the project dependencies - expect to have this complete later this week
- A first draft of the HIP specifications - to be completed over the next 2 weeks

Once these are in place, I will be amending the initial contribution to reflect the updated specification and would expect to have an initial release by the end of Q3

My original roadmap had the specifications scheduled for release by end of Q2, so I'm about 5-6 weeks behind schedule
Comment 14 Cydnie Smith CLA 2019-04-22 14:24:05 EDT
Greetings, 

It looks like your initial contribution received final approval on 2018-10-03; but AFAICT there hasn't been much activity since 2018-05-09. 

What is the status of this project? Is there anything we can do to help?

Now that your initial has been approved, your next step is to start planning your first release. 


For more information about the release process, check out our handbook [1].

Comment 15 Mark Healy CLA 2019-04-26 13:44:15 EDT
Hi Cydnie,

Just a quick update.

The original submission was written in JS - and has been a complete nightmare to maintain in terms of dependencies. Approx 6 weeks ago, I refactored about 60% of the code to Java, leveraging Vertx, in order to reduce dependencies from several hundred to a small handful.

I expect to submit the refactored code in the next 2 weeks. 

In terms of what I need from you guys- for now, just patience :)

Once I've submitted the new codebase, I'd like to discuss adding additional git repos and, if possible, a maven repo for modules (Vertx Verticles) - but I'll prioritize getting the updated code submitted and an initial release first.


Thanks

Mark
Comment 16 Mark Healy CLA 2019-05-10 05:45:20 EDT
Hi,

I've submitted a CQ [1] for the refactored code


Thanks

Mark
