| The Eclipse Foundation Board of Directors has approved a new revision to the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/">Eclipse Development Process</a> (EDP). | |
| The document now more closely reflects how our open source projects operate. The changes include the following: | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>The term "frameworks and tools" is now "frameworks and applications" to acknowledge that projects are creating | |
| deliverables that expand the traditional focus on tools.</li> | |
| <li>"Freedom of Action" has been added as a principle of the EDP. This formalizes the requirement that teams | |
| ensure the continued viability of the project by using only those resources approved by the Eclipse Foundation for critical project operations.</li> | |
| <li>New projects now require only one mentor from the Architecture Council.</li> | |
| <li>A new mailing list, incubation@eclipse.org, provides a way for incubating projects to participate more directly with each other and with the | |
| Architecture Council. This list is open to everyone interested in the process, and we hope the community will use it to share hard-earned | |
| wisdom and help make our projects stronger.</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| Note that at the bottom of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/">document</a> there is a list of issues addressed in the revision, and a link to | |
| a "diff" document that details the updates.<br> | |
