+ 1 for Nick Sandonato for Source Editing lead (where I am a committer ...
I am not a committer for JSDT, but would vote +1 there too, if I were. :)

And, thanks to you Nitin, for your many years of leadership of both
projects.

Thanks, Nitin, for all your service to the projects and the Eclipse
Community.

Project committers, with this note, Nitin has called for a vote to make
Chris Jaun the project lead. We'll need some +1s to make that happen.

As mentioned in last week's status meeting, I'm stepping down as the lead
for Source Editing and JSDT, and hopefully the nominations for my
replacement won't be a shock to anyone.  While I won't be disappearing
entirely, I have full faith in their ability to keep everything running
smoothly as I take on new challenges from my employer.  Committers for the
respective projects, please reply with your +1s by next week's status
meeting in keeping with the guidelines at
http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/development_process_2011.php#4_6_Leaders
 and http://wiki.eclipse.org/Development_Resources/Changing_Leadership .

For JSDT I'm nominating Chris Jaun.  As one of the initial Committers on
JSDT, even before we separated it into its own project, Chris undertook the
messy task of removing a lot of vestigial code that was left over from the
original forking from JDT.  Since then he's tackled memory problems and all
sorts of bizarre exceptions and corner cases spanning hundreds of bug
fixes, and shown a talent for and interest in project management that,
frankly, exceeds my own.  If there's anyone to step in and take over those
aspects while still having the know-how to help with the patch and bug
backlog, it's Chris.  Please give him your support.

As for Source Editing, I've been working on it for 13 years, give or take a
couple of weeks, and for the last 5 of them Nick Sandonato's been my right
hand.  He knows the code base as well as I do, even better than I do in a
few places, and it's been an honor to be his mentor and friend the whole
time.  Whether it's responding to bug reports with an event temper, keeping
us from breaking the build too often, or mentoring potential Committers,
there's no one I would trust more to take on the duties of the project
lead.  Please give him your backing.


For everyone else, the 3.4.2 site has been waiting patiently at
http://eclipse.org/webtools/releases/3.4.2/ (releases/3.4.2 in our web site
repository) if anyone has release notes to add.  Anything already intended
for post-3.4.2 patch builds comes to mind.
