Eclipse CDT.cloud Restructuring Review

Eclipse CDT.cloud Restructuring Review PMI link

Project leads and committers of the CDT.cloud project agreed that they would like to rename the project from Eclipse CDT.cloud to Eclipse CDT Cloud.

The reason for this change is that .cloud is a top level domain and thus cdt.cloud implies being a valid URL. Thus, people typing this name into the browser's address bar will be directed to the URL cdt.cloud instead of a search engine looking for this term. As the project wasn't able to buy the domain cdt.cloud due to rather high cost, they would like to remove the . of the project name, in order to avoid this issue.

URL changes are not expected (e.g. on github) nor code changes, as the . as part of the name is not being used in identifiers anyway. Thus, it is merely about changing the project name.

Name change

In order to implement the required license change, we need to complete the following:

• EMO (ED) approval
• PMC notified
• Inform the community using the project communication channels
• Infrastructure changes @webmaster
