This is an ugly desperate move and the Eclipse Foundation shouldn't take part in the fight and reject the project.
But I pretty sure Oracle will bind money to the offer and the foundation will say yes. Oracle aim is control through bureaucracy and the Eclipse Foundation is just the perfect match for that ...
- bxr 15y agoThe whole process stinks, the reasonable thing to do is just give the Hudson trademark to Kawaguchi. Oracle won't do that because they want to be in control of the winning project, and they know that without the now-Jenkins community the Hudson project is going to quickly become irrelevant. Moving to the EF is too little, too late, and I don't think the Jenkins community is going to bite. They already dealt with the pains of switching to a new name and anyone who needs Java CI and isn't completely blind will find Jenkins just fine. Remember Ethereal? Yeah me neither.
- sciurus 15y agoIt looks like the eclipse foundation will be happy to adopt hudson. From their executive director: "In our view, Hudson is coming to Eclipse for all the right reasons. The Eclipse community is itself a big user of Hudson, and we all look forward to the growth in momentum, innovation and predictability that will result from this move. With the addition of the Eclipse community processes for development, release and intellectual property management, we’re confident that the Hudson community and ecosystem will be thrilled with Hudson as an Eclipse project." http://mmilinkov.wordpress.com/2011/05/04/hudson-now-at-eclipse/ http://mmilinkov.wordpress.com/2011/05/04/hudson-now-at-ecli...
