That is clearly not the case. Where and when ARM porting project was
discussed ? It appeared of nowhere.
For the first week or so it was on this list of orphaned projects as
well. Now it lists Emerging Platform as endorsing community, however,
there was no discussion EP community core contributors about endorsing
this project.
What is the value of procedures if we are not following them ?
I took over the project-setup process back in January of this year and I
have been following that process above since then (and actually for
years I have been following that process for OSUG projects). The ARM
project had already been set up but hidden for six months prior to me
getting on to project-setup and taking over from Eric/Linda, so I am not
sure about all the early history. However, I worked with William
Kucharski to change the name of the ARM project due to a trademarks
issue in January, and I worked with Koji Uno to get the project opened
most recently. During the discussions I had with Bill in January, he
forwarded me the original proposal so if you have any issues, it would
be best if you follow up with him since he would know the history prior
to me getting involved.
These long "hidden" projects tend to cause confusion as time goes by. I
have multiple examples of this. That will not be a problem on the new
site because there will be no "hidden" projects. Projects will be opened
in the open and populated with content and source in the open. In fact,
that`s what I do now. When a project approval comes to project-setup, I
open it right away and I keep all the threads in the process for
documentation.
