<h2>Attendees</h2>
<h3>PMC Members</h3>
<ul>
    <li>David Williams: Y</li>
    <li>Naci Dai: N</li>
    <li>Raghunathan Srinivasan: N</li>
    <li>Neil Hauge: Y</li>
    <li>Tim deBoer: Y</li>
</ul>
<h3>Invited Guests</h3>
<ul>
    <li>Bob Goodman (ATF): Y</li>
</ul>
<h2>Planning Council Report</h2>
<ul>
    <li><a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Planning_Council_Minutes_2007.11.06">Official Minutes</a></li>
    <li>We will own, at least, the "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers" distribution and remove our "WTP all in
    ones". The goal is to do more cross-project testing and promotion.</li>
    <li>Ganymede dates "compressed" to allow for 3 levels of dependancies. The expectation was to try to get to
    where all builds done quick, and then do smoke or final testing. (I could not convince the room what a bad idea this
    was, for some reason). We are still +2 which is now approximately 1 week. The package distributions will be built
    immediately and everyone is to encourage testing with those packages, instead of just our own.</li>
    <li>Action item: update our "planning" documents with dates for Ganymede and Winter maintenance</li>
</ul>
<h3>Notes:</h3>
<p>Tim asked "what are +3 projects?" I recalled, I think GMF, SOA Toosl, but sent not to planning council to confirm
and get complete list</p>
<h2>EclipseWorld Trip Report</h2>
<ul>
    <li>Good conference. Reston was nice trip! Will be there next year too.</li>
    <li>Small: approximately 400 people. Definitly was more for "end users" than EclispeCon.</li>
    <li>Approximately 50 people per class. Naci bragged he had even more, many had to stand up :)</li>
    <li>Action item: we need to maintain our "presenations downloads" page!</li>
    <li><a href="http://www.eclipseworld.net/">EclipseWorld 2007, NOV. 6-8, RESTON, VA</a>.<br />
