| <h1>WTP PMC Minutes for September 6, 2005 Conference Call</h1> |
| <h2>Community Update [LM]</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>EclipseWorld - many WTP presentations from both inside and outside the WTP dev community, all |
| talks well attended and received</li> |
| <li>Website content still in flux; component leads are working on project plans</li> |
| <li>Arthur suggested factoring the website content so that component leads can update the relevant |
| portion quickly</li> |
| <li>Phoenix not ready yet; we will try to be early adopters when they're ready</li> |
| <li>DW suggested making "audience organization" (users, extenders, devs) more obvious</li> |
| <li>EclipseCon program committee has set aside two technical and one tutorial slots per top-level |
| project; projects still need to go through the proposal process (and can submit additional talks, of |
| course)</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Procedural matters</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>No procedural matters to report.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>0.7.1 (Maintenance Stream) Status</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Using Thursday status/component lead meeting for triage; PMC members are invited to attend |
| that.</li> |
| <li>Arthur researching SOAP schema IP issues; may need to re-vet in 0.7.1 with Foundation legal.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>1.0 and 1.5 Planning</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>WTP joining the 1.5 release train; will need to join train ASAP to improve likelihood of final |
| ship.</li> |
| <li>We are using many internal APIs from the platform; any drift caused by this reliance on |
| platform internals could be mitigated in either the 1.0 line or the (not yet created) 1.5 line. Split |
| point will be late October/early November (roughly the M9 milestone).</li> |
| <li>We need to create the 1.5 line at least in time to handle new feature work that cannot go into |
| the 1.0 codebase.</li> |
| <li>Once we move to 1.5 (and join the Zebra train), we will need to migrate to a 6 week release |
| cycle in order to synchronize. (DW: suggesting our M9 timeframe).</li> |
| <li>1.0 will remain on its existing (8 week milestones) schedule.</li> |
| <li>For 1.5, we would need to begin synchronizing with platform I-builds (not an immediate |
| requirement).</li> |
| <li>Chuck will be presenting a proposal soon on project-related APIs.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Requirements Update [JK]</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Open requirements call will be held this Thursday. Oracle, BEA, and others are planning to |
| participate; IBM has conflict with internal planning meetings. Will attempt to solicit feedback on 1.5 |
| plan and any additional requirements.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Architecture Update [DW]</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Weekly call will resume this week.</li> |
| <li>Feature split up will proceed as proposed (little feedback received so far). Will start with |
| the low-hanging fruit; some of the more difficult divisions may extend beyond 1.0 release.</li> |
| <li>Feature split up will be important to build / releng restructuring as well. Might be able to |
| use Buckminster's tools to view the dependency arcs.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>JSF Update [RS]</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Legal process moving forward within Oracle (committer agreement, etc.)</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Action Items</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>[RS] Will investigate EclipseCon presentation topics.</li> |
| <li>[TW] Get platform dates and drive process of setting 2006 WTP milestone dates.</li> |
| <li>[JK] Follow up with SAS and SAP w.r.t. requirements call (Th).</li> |
| </ul> |
