 <h1>Gemini JPA Committers Guide</h1>

 <p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]>&nbsp;<![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>

 <p class=MsoNormal>Welcome to Gemini JPA! As a committer you have demonstrated
 that you are not only interested in the project but are willing to contribute
 some of your time and energy to improving and advancing it. Thanks for that.</p>

 <p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]>&nbsp;<![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>

 <p class=MsoNormal>This page contains some hints and helps to get you up to
 speed and on your way.</p>

 <h3>Communication</h3>

 <p class=MsoNormal>Gemini is a multi-faceted project, with multiple subprojects
 that work together. The most important way to achieve this is to ensure there
 is regular communication not only with other team members but with members of
 the other teams. This is achieved in 3 different ways:</p>

 <p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]>&nbsp;<![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>

 <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo1;
 tab-stops:list .5in'><![if !supportLists]>1)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
 </span><![endif]>Project Conference Calls</p>

 <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'><![if !supportEmptyParas]>&nbsp;<![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>

 <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'>The Gemini team has a regular
 conference call that is open to both committers and community members alike
 (although in practice consumers rarely join). Comitters are strongly encouraged
 to be on this call as it is the primary way that important issues are discussed
 and resolved. See the wiki <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Gemini/Meetings">http://wiki.eclipse.org/Gemini/Meetings</a>
 for the call details, agenda for the next call, and minutes of previous calls. </p>

 <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'><![if !supportEmptyParas]>&nbsp;<![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>

 <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo1;
 tab-stops:list .5in'><![if !supportLists]>2)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
 </span><![endif]>Gemini Dev List</p>

 <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'><![if !supportEmptyParas]>&nbsp;<![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>

 <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'>The dev list can be used to ask
 questions or bring up issues to the Gemini JPA subproject or the Gemini project
 at large. Committers should subscribe to the dev list (<a
 href="https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/gemini-dev">https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/gemini-dev</a>)
 and participate in the discussions.</p>

 <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'><![if !supportEmptyParas]>&nbsp;<![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>

 <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo1;
 tab-stops:list .5in'><![if !supportLists]>3)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
 </span><![endif]>Bugzilla threads</p>

 <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'><![if !supportEmptyParas]>&nbsp;<![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>

 <p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'>Bugzilla is used to track bugs and
 issues and there are often bug-related discussions. Avoid having these
 discussions in email since the discussion has value worth capturing and should
 be associated with and locatable from the bug under discussion. </p>

 <h3>External Contributions</h3>

 <p class=MsoNormal>External code must come through the Eclipse IP process (<a
 href="http://www.eclipse.org/legal/EclipseLegalProcessPoster.pdf">http://www.eclipse.org/legal/EclipseLegalProcessPoster.pdf</a>).
 Bugs must be filed by the contributor, with the code attached. Contributers
 should have been the primary authors of the code, and the code should be
 approved by the project lead before being committed to the repo.</p>

 <h3>Committing Code</h3>

 <p class=MsoNormal>All code that is being committed to the Gemini JPA repo
 should have an associated bug or enhancement request in Bugilla. The code
 should be revewed by another member of the team and have appropriate tests in
 place before being committed. </p>

 <h3>Project Builds</h3>

 <p class=MsoNormal>Builds are done by individual developers using Eclipse. To
 build Gemini JPA import the Eclipse project in the org.eclipse.gemini.jpa
 folder and build from within Eclipse. </p>

 <p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]>&nbsp;<![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>

 <p class=MsoNormal>The Gemini JPA team is not currently big enough to
 experience checkin collisions, but this highlights the importance of
 communication. If a checkin collision should occur, contact the team member you
 are colliding with and work out a suitable solution. It will likely just
 involve doing a simple managed merge.</p>

 <h3>Dependencies</h3>

 <p class=MsoNormal>Gemini JPA depends on EclipseLink so the most recent
 versions of the EclipseLink bundles should be obtained. The OSGi JPA classes
 are also required and are checked in the repo. Potential new dependencies
 should be discussed on the dev list before entering CQ requests.</p>

 <h3>Decision Making</h3>

 <p class=MsoNormal>We try (and have been successful up to this point) to
 achieve consensus around any issues and decisions that come up. This implies
 that there be flexibility on the part of all those involved. Stances taken
 based on pride or preconception are not productive and only serve to make
 issues more difficult to resolve. </p>

 <p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]>&nbsp;<![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>

 <p class=MsoNormal>In the event that a decision cannot be reached by consensus
 then a simple polling of the committers will be taken, with the project lead
 having the right to exercise a veto.</p>

 <h3>Release Process</h3>

 <p class=MsoNormal>Releases should be discussed and included in the project
 plan. The release process must include an Eclipse release review as dictated by
 <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/HOWTO/Release_Reviews">http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/HOWTO/Release_Reviews</a>.</p>

 <h3>Resources</h3>

 <p class=MsoNormal>A number of developer resources are available on the Eclipse
 wiki: <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources">http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources</a>.

	<h1>Gemini JPA Committers Guide</h1>

	<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>

	<p class=MsoNormal>Welcome to Gemini JPA! As a committer you have demonstrated
	that you are not only interested in the project but are willing to contribute
	some of your time and energy to improving and advancing it. Thanks for that.</p>

	<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>

	<p class=MsoNormal>This page contains some hints and helps to get you up to
	speed and on your way.</p>

	<h3>Communication</h3>

	<p class=MsoNormal>Gemini is a multi-faceted project, with multiple subprojects
	that work together. The most important way to achieve this is to ensure there
	is regular communication not only with other team members but with members of
	the other teams. This is achieved in 3 different ways:</p>

	<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>

	<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo1;
	tab-stops:list .5in'><![if !supportLists]>1)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
	</span><![endif]>Project Conference Calls</p>

	<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>

	<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'>The Gemini team has a regular
	conference call that is open to both committers and community members alike
	(although in practice consumers rarely join). Comitters are strongly encouraged
	to be on this call as it is the primary way that important issues are discussed
	and resolved. See the wiki <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Gemini/Meetings">http://wiki.eclipse.org/Gemini/Meetings</a>
	for the call details, agenda for the next call, and minutes of previous calls. </p>

	<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>

	<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo1;
	tab-stops:list .5in'><![if !supportLists]>2)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
	</span><![endif]>Gemini Dev List</p>

	<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>

	<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'>The dev list can be used to ask
	questions or bring up issues to the Gemini JPA subproject or the Gemini project
	at large. Committers should subscribe to the dev list (<a
	href="https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/gemini-dev">https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/gemini-dev</a>)
	and participate in the discussions.</p>

	<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>

	<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo1;
	tab-stops:list .5in'><![if !supportLists]>3)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
	</span><![endif]>Bugzilla threads</p>

	<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>

	<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.25in'>Bugzilla is used to track bugs and
	issues and there are often bug-related discussions. Avoid having these
	discussions in email since the discussion has value worth capturing and should
	be associated with and locatable from the bug under discussion. </p>

	<h3>External Contributions</h3>

	<p class=MsoNormal>External code must come through the Eclipse IP process (<a
	href="http://www.eclipse.org/legal/EclipseLegalProcessPoster.pdf">http://www.eclipse.org/legal/EclipseLegalProcessPoster.pdf</a>).
	Bugs must be filed by the contributor, with the code attached. Contributers
	should have been the primary authors of the code, and the code should be
	approved by the project lead before being committed to the repo.</p>

	<h3>Committing Code</h3>

	<p class=MsoNormal>All code that is being committed to the Gemini JPA repo
	should have an associated bug or enhancement request in Bugilla. The code
	should be revewed by another member of the team and have appropriate tests in
	place before being committed. </p>

	<h3>Project Builds</h3>

	<p class=MsoNormal>Builds are done by individual developers using Eclipse. To
	build Gemini JPA import the Eclipse project in the org.eclipse.gemini.jpa
	folder and build from within Eclipse. </p>

	<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>

	<p class=MsoNormal>The Gemini JPA team is not currently big enough to
	experience checkin collisions, but this highlights the importance of
	communication. If a checkin collision should occur, contact the team member you
	are colliding with and work out a suitable solution. It will likely just
	involve doing a simple managed merge.</p>

	<h3>Dependencies</h3>

	<p class=MsoNormal>Gemini JPA depends on EclipseLink so the most recent
	versions of the EclipseLink bundles should be obtained. The OSGi JPA classes
	are also required and are checked in the repo. Potential new dependencies
	should be discussed on the dev list before entering CQ requests.</p>

	<h3>Decision Making</h3>

	<p class=MsoNormal>We try (and have been successful up to this point) to
	achieve consensus around any issues and decisions that come up. This implies
	that there be flexibility on the part of all those involved. Stances taken
	based on pride or preconception are not productive and only serve to make
	issues more difficult to resolve. </p>

	<p class=MsoNormal><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]><o:p></o:p></p>

	<p class=MsoNormal>In the event that a decision cannot be reached by consensus
	then a simple polling of the committers will be taken, with the project lead
	having the right to exercise a veto.</p>

	<h3>Release Process</h3>

	<p class=MsoNormal>Releases should be discussed and included in the project
	plan. The release process must include an Eclipse release review as dictated by
	<a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/HOWTO/Release_Reviews">http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/HOWTO/Release_Reviews</a>.</p>

	<h3>Resources</h3>

	<p class=MsoNormal>A number of developer resources are available on the Eclipse
	wiki: <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources">http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources</a>.
