The [Eclipse Foundation release process](https://www.eclipse.org/projects/handbook/#release) is focused on a set of non-technical criteria, which includes Intellectual Property management, Branding and Trademarks, Legal Documentation requirements and Open Source Rules of engagement. A project can graduate out of incubator status when it passes its first Eclipse release review. This process is then only required to be revisited on a yearly basis.

I am not a fan of unnecessary process. As a project lead of the AQAvit project, I had been putting off doing what I considered to be some unwelcome extra 'paperwork' imposed upon me by the Eclipse Foundation. I had considered the Eclipse Foundation release an arbitrary and disconnected statement about the maturity and readiness of a project, especially given that AQAvit has been actively delivering Github releases.

I had considered the Eclipse Foundation release an arbitrary and disconnected statement about the maturity and readiness of a project, especially given that AQAvit has been actively delivering Github releases.

I learned that the release review process was not as onerous as I had expected. The Eclipse Foundation is streamlining many of the steps, reviewing and removing some of the previously required pieces of documentation that are not necessary for a project to have in order to prove it is healthy and mature. Some of the required documentation includes the License, Readme and Contributing files as well as recommended Code of Conduct and Security files be present in every repository within a given Eclipse project. The AQAvit project which happens to hierarchically be a sub-project of Eclipse Adoptium, has its [7 repositories](https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/adoptium.aqavit/developer) under the Adoptium Github organization, so many of those required files are inherited from the Github organization files. For the [AQAvit 1.0.0 release review](https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/emo-team/emo/-/issues/669), there were very few updates needed.

As part of the [AQAvit manifesto](https://github.com/adoptium/aqa-tests/blob/master/docs/pages/Manifesto.md) which is the set of criteria that we created to guide the work in the AQAvit project, we aim to continuously evolve alongside the continuously changing JDK implementations in order to stay relevant and useful. The 'vit' in AQAvit from the Latin root and reminds us of this criteria to remain vital. With that in mind, we have a great deal of cool work in the 2024 plan.

In our upcoming [AQAvit Community call](https://github.com/adoptium/aqa-tests/issues/5090), we will take a look at the targeted items of 2024, including some stretch goals such as enhanced developer support through the upcoming Trestle initiative, additional tools to support AQAvit verification and much more. You can find a list of 2024 features in the proposed agenda, and feel welcomed to join the call or put comments into the [community call issue](https://github.com/adoptium/aqa-tests/issues/5090) to give your input into the activities of the AQAvit project.
