Changes in TPTP PMC

We would like to announce that we have completed the transition of TPTP leadership as mentioned earlier in the forwarded email.  Wayne Beaton is now the PMC lead for TPTP.  Torsten Stolpmann from Verit is the project lead for the Platform, Testing Tools, and Trace and Profiling Tools projects.  The other existing PMC members (including myself) had resigned from the PMC in the April 11 PMC meeting as originally planned.  Thank you Oliver, Jonathan, Ernest and Jerome for your participation in the TPTP PMC!  

In the next couple of weeks, we will also be cleaning up the committer list for the various TPTP projects to remove committers who will no longer be actively participating.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their contribution to the TPTP projects.

So, over to you Torsten and Wayne.  Best wishes with the TPTP projects!

Regards,

TPTP Community,

As communicated in November 2011, the PMC had plan to archive the TPTP projects after TPTP 4.7.2, which was released back in February.  Details of the plan was available in:

http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/project_info/devplans/EclipseTPTPProjectPlan2010.htm

In mid-February, the PMC was notified by the EMO that Claudia Könnecke and Torsten Stolpmann from Verit (verit Informationssysteme GmbH based in Germany) had expressed interest in taking over the TPTP project rather than let it terminate.   We had a number of PMC meetings since then to discuss the best course of action.  Details of those discussion can be found in the  http://wiki.eclipse.org/TPTP_PMC.

In summary, Verit plans to preserve the current state for the Platform and Testing Tools sub-projects.  As they don't have hands-on experience with the Trace and Profiling Tools sub-project or the resource to support it, they agreed that the Trace and Profiling Tools sub-project should be archived.  

Verit is currently setting up their build environment to be able to perform TPTP builds.  Once a stable build environment is established, they will attempt to restructure the build to remove the Trace and Profiling Tools features and plugins.  Afterwards, they will re-address the possible archiving of the Trace and Profiling Tools sub-project.

The current group of committers and PMC members plan to stay on the project until April 11.  Wayne Beaton from the EMO had joined the PMC to help out with the transition.  In order to ensure smooth transition, we will be proposing to add new committers from Verit to the various sub-projects and will soon be transferring project leaderships to them as well.  

In the next two weeks, the current PMC members and the build team will continue to provide support to Verit as they get up to speed with the TPTP project.  Torsten will be communicating further updates of this transition to the community.

Please let the PMC know if you have any questions or concern.
