| <h1>Minutes</h1> |
| |
| <h2>BIRT 1.0 Release Update</h2> |
| <p> |
| BIRT 1.0 is still tracking for the end of May. We are doing daily bug reviews and |
| deferring non-essential fixes to a post-1.0 release. |
| <p> |
| The community is strongly encouraged to look at the current builds since each |
| is a potential release candidate at this stage. |
| |
| <h2>Post BIRT 1.0 and Bugzilla</h2> |
| <p> |
| As a reminder, we are moving all bug tracking to Bugzilla immediately after |
| BIRT 1.0 releases. As part of this, we intend to move the existing outstanding |
| inventory to Bugzilla. This is a manual process and will take time. We will |
| start with the highest priority bugs and go from there. |
| |
| <h2>Designation of 1.1 Release Changes to 1.0.1 </h2> |
| <p> |
| After the BIRT 1.0 release, we are planning to have a BIRT maintenance release. |
| We had been referring to this as the "1.1" release. We are changing the |
| designation of this release to "1.0.1" to better reflect the fact that it is a |
| maintenance and packaging release, not a feature release. |
| <p> |
| BIRT 1.0.1 will provide Eclipse platform 3.1 support and an RCP version of BIRT. |
| The target date for BIRT 1.0.1 is 1 month after the platform 3.1 release |
| (scheduled for end of June). Based on this, BIRT 1.0.1 target is end of July. |
| |
| <h2>BIRT API Documentation </h2> |
| <p> |
| The PMC wants to improve the documentation process for BIRT APIs for the |
| community. This is something that we will work on for BIRT 1.0.1, and is an |
| ongoing effort as we add new APIs or enhance existing APIs. There are two goals: |
| |
| <ul> |
| <li>Improve the documentation and specification of the BIRT APIs |
| <li>Involve the community earlier in the review of new APIs |
| </ul> |
| <p> |
| To help the development team with this task, the PMC will coordinate the |
| development of API documentation templates that provide guidance on what |
| types of information should be provided. We will make the templates available |
| for community review to get feedback. |
| |
| <h2>Eclipse Requirements, Architecture and Planning Council Updates </h2> |
| <p> |
| The PMC discussed the Council meetings for the benefit of the PMC members |
| who were not present. In particular, the discussions around "Eclipse Quality". |
| Refer to the Eclipse Council meetings minutes for information on what was |
| discussed at the Council meetings. |
| |
| <h2>Next PMC Meeting </h2> |
| <p> |
| There is no PMC meeting for Monday 30th since this is a public holiday. |
