Eclipse Board Meeting: Speak Up and Get Heard

In a new post on his blog, Chris Aniszczyk provides a general overview of the happenings at the June Eclipse Board Meeting. "For those who didn't know, there was an Eclipse board meeting last week. Ed has already given his quick synopsis of the meeting, but I figure I would try to give committers a general overview of what happened that's in their interest."

Some of the main points, distilled from Chris' post:

A new "IP Working Group" was established to get input on what can be improved and to help with some of the issues around IP and committers.
The board is trying to prevent projects to depend on components that have a license that is incompatible with the EPL and provide no other way to get similar functionality
The board also passed a resolution for how projects should deal with using proprietary tools.
The topic of project diversity was brought up and how projects can attract new committers (if need be).

In conclusion Chris writes, "I can say that the committer representatives were very happy with the direction that the board meetings went. The board was very responsive to committer issues that were brought up, so that means if you have an issue, please post something and we'll do our best to respond. If you don't speak, your voice won't be heard."
