| Strategic Members to sponsor the event and attend. Mike further |

| <P><B><U>Amendments to Bylaws and Membership Agreement</U></B></P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm">Mike Milinkovich provided an overview |
| of proposed changes to the Bylaws and Membership Agreement, the |
| related material for which is attached hereto as <a href="2008_06_exhibits/ExhibitE.pdf">Exhibit E</a>. |
| Mike Milinkovich further advised that the Foundation is also actively |
| looking at setting up working groups in a variety of industry |
| verticals with the expectation that these working groups would be led |
| by either Strategic or Enterprise Members and funded by the Member |
| companies involved. </P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm">Mike indicated that there were two |
| resolutions to be discussed in relation to the changes to the Bylaws |
| and Membership Agreement. The first is to approve the changes |
| to the Add-In Provider dues, the related material for which is |
| attached hereto as <a href="2008_06_exhibits/ExhibitF.pdf">Exhibit F</a>. The second is to approve the |
| amendments to the Bylaws and Membership Agreement and turn the matter |
| over to the Membership-at-large to vote, the related material for |
| which is attached hereto as <a href="2008_06_exhibits/ExhibitG1.pdf">Exhibit G.1</a> |
| and <a href="2008_06_exhibits/ExhibitG2.pdf">Exhibit G.2</a>. Following a discussion, |

| Agreement, the related materials for which are attached to these |

| <P> |
| Mike Milinkovich introduced the proposed amendments to the Bylaws and |
| Membership Agreement, thanking the Board Members for their comments, |
| many of which had been incorporated into the revised draft. A |
| concern was raised that Enterprise Members may not gain |
| representation on the Board given the structure of elected Board |
| Member representation. Mike Milinkovich replied that the EMO |
| had considered this possibility but felt that given that historically |
| the Add-In Provider Representatives election has been by acclamation |
| or excluded only one of the potential candidate’s running, it |
| was unlikely to be a problem. Further, it was felt that |
| Enterprise Members were more likely to have brand recognition and |
| therefore would face less of a challenge on this front. |
| Following the discussion, the following resolution was approved:</P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.27cm"> |
| <B>RESOLVED</B>, there was unanimous consent to approve the proposed |
| amendments to the Bylaws and the Membership Agreement, attached |
| hereto as <a href="2008_06_exhibits/ExhibitG1.pdf">Exhibit G.1</a> and |
| <a href="2008_06_exhibits/ExhibitG2.pdf">G.2</a> respectively.</P> |

| <P STYLE="page-break-after: avoid"> |
| Mike Milinkovich presented an update on behalf of Adrian Cho, Chair |
| of the IP Advisory Committee. The related presentation is |
| attached hereto as <a href="2008_06_exhibits/ExhibitH.pdf">Exhibit H</a>. The IP Policy changes that |
| have been under discussion for the past year have resulted in |
| significant beneficial changes to the Policy; though more work |
| remains to be done. There are a number of other items |
| that remain on the IP Advisory Committee’s queue including the |
| matter of what position the Foundation takes on GPL/EPL compatibility |
| and proposed changes to the Terms of Use. |
| </P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.27cm"> |
| <B>RESOLVED</B>, there was unanimous consent to appoint Steve |
| Saunders to the IP Advisory Committee.</P> |
| <P><B><U>Roadmap Process</U></B></P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm">Mike Milinkovich introduced a |
| discussion on the roadmap process and related concerns. A copy |
| of the related slides is attached as <a href="2008_06_exhibits/ExhibitJ.pdf">Exhibit J</a> hereto. Mike |
| began by reminding Board Members that the Bylaws require that the |
| Eclipse Foundation annually produce an overview document. The |
| Board had previously concluded that it would be useful that the |
| projects create a standardized plan to give the ecosystem an |
| indication of where Eclipse was heading. The EMO created a |
| standardized format to support this effort. The Projects have |
| not reacted favorably to the Board’s request and only 4 out of |
| 115 Projects have complied. The Eclipse Foundation is not |
| inclined to take drastic measures in the event that the Projects do |
| not comply and are seeking guidance from the Board on how best to |
| proceed. |
| </P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm">Some Board Members indicated that they |
| felt that what was being requested of the Projects and why was being |
| poorly communicated and further that the tools to support the effort |
| were difficult to find. Others felt that if the relevant PMC |
| was not driving this initiative, then the PMC itself was broken. |
| The prevailing view was that the EMO should strongly push this issue |
| and that the Planning Council and PMCs should be involved in the |
| effort. It was decided that the new timetable should be that |
| the Projects would have to get their Project Plan to their PMC by the |
| end of September, that the Planning Council would hold a session to |
| solidify the roadmap in November, and that there would be plenary |
| session with the Board and Councils at the December Board meeting. |
| In addition, it was felt that there should be a way to highlight when |
| it is believed that a PMC is not doing their job and corrective |
| action taken if need be (i.e. removing the relevant PMC Lead).</P> |
| <P><B><U>TPTP PMC Report</U></B></P> |
| <P> |
| Oliver Cole provided a report to the Board of Directors on behalf of |
| the TPTP PMC, a copy of the related presentation is attached hereto |
| as <a href="2008_06_exhibits/ExhibitK1.pdf">Exhibit K.1</a> and |
| <a href="2008_06_exhibits/ExhibitK2.pdf">Exhibit K.2</a>. |
| </P> |
| <P><B><U>BIRT PMC Report</U></B></P> |
| <P> |
| Paul Clenahan provided a report to the Board of Directors on behalf |
| of the BIRT PMC, a copy of the related presentation is attached |
| hereto as <a href="2008_06_exhibits/ExhibitL.pdf">Exhibit L</a>. Following the presentation Paul was |
| asked what makes Actuate invest 45 resources in Eclipse. Paul |
| replied that the higher the number of people involved in the Project, |
| the greater the profile, and the greater the install base to sell |
| products and services into. |
| </P> |
| <P><B><U>Standardizing eRCP at the OSGi Alliance (at the request of |
| the DSDP PMC)</U></B></P> |
| <P> |
| Jeff McAffer outlined a proposal to have eRCP standardized at the |
| OSGi Alliance, the related presentation for which is attached hereto |
| as <a href="2008_06_exhibits/ExhibitM.pdf">Exhibit M</a>. Jeff indicated that it was important to |
| note that Eclipse is retrospecting in pursuing this path. eRCP |
| was developed at Eclipse. The intention is for eRCP to work |
| with OSGi to spec what has already been implemented. Concerns |
| were raised that there may be pressure on the related Eclipse |
| Project(s) to change their code to reflect OSGi’s interests and |
| it was felt that this concern should formally be addressed with OSGi. |
| Following the discussion, the following resolution was passed:</P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.27cm"> |
| <B>RESOLVED</B>, the Board unanimously approved that the eRCP Project |
| may standardize it’s APIs using OSGI mobile expert group, |
| subject to the resolution of the governance of the interaction such |
| that the future evolution of Eclipse Technology is not impeded and |
| the Eclipse Foundation is ensured continuous access to all relevant |
| TCKs at no cost. |
| </P> |
| <P><B><U>Strategy Discussion</U></B></P> |
| <P> |
| Ricco Deutscher introduced a Strategy Discussion, the related |
| presentation materials for which are attached as <a href="2008_06_exhibits/ExhibitN.pdf">Exhibit N</a> hereto, |
| updated to reflect the discussion at the Board Meeting. Ricco |
| provided an outline of the intended approach to develop the Eclipse |
| Foundation’s strategy together with a draft of Eclipse’s |
| strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) for |
| discussion by the Board. Ricco indicted that the |
| intention was to revisit the strategy for the Eclipse Foundation |
| annually. |
| </P> |
| <P STYLE="page-break-after: avoid"><B><U>Add-In Provider Issues</U></B></P> |
| <P STYLE="page-break-after: avoid"> |
| Todd Williams expressed concerns regarding the Packaging Project’s |
| recent announcement which appears to propose the creation of a server |
| based provisioning system which is being built separate from |
| Eclipse. It further appeared to Todd that the Eclipse |
| Foundation intended to take delivery of the Project once developed. |
| Todd expressed concern that this appeared to be out of scope of the |
| Project’s Charter. Upon further discussion, it was |
| determined that raising this matter at the Board level was premature |
| and that this was best discussed by the parties involved at this |
| point in time.</P> |
| <P><B><U>Committer Issues</U></B></P> |
| <P><B><I>Localization of Bugzilla</I></B></P> |
| <P> |
| Doug Gaff expressed an interest in having a Japanese localized |
| version of the Bugzilla UI available. Concerns were expressed |
| about the Eclipse Foundation’s resource constraints to deal |
| with Bugzilla localization and the likelihood that Bugzilla UI’s |
| in other languages were likely to be requested in the event we were |
| to do so for Japanese. In addition, the concern was |
| raised that with a localized UI discussion would more likely ensue in |
| that native language which could reduce the “openness” to |
| the community as a whole. Further, the localized UI may |
| increase the likelihood that IP submissions would be received in a |
| different language which would be a concern from an IP review |
| standpoint. Mike Milinkovich indicated that the EMO would take |
| the proposal under consideration. |
| </P> |
| <P><B><I>IP Policy</I></B></P> |
| <P> |
| Jeff McAffer indicted that there was a growing need for Projects to |
| work very closely with non-Eclipse projects and consume their code on |
| a frequent and sometimes on-going basis and that currently; the IP |
| Policy restricted the Project’s ability to do so, the related |
| presentation materials for which are attached as <a href="2008_06_exhibits/ExhibitO.pdf">Exhibit O</a> hereto. |
| Following discussion, the following resolution was passed.</P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.27cm"> |
| <B>RESOLVED</B>, the board requests that when the IP Advisory |
| Committee returns to the Board with a revised version of the IP |
| Policy, that the Committee specifically report whether the Committee |
| believes that they have addressed the situation where one Eclipse |
| Project is working closely with a non-Eclipse project and needs to |
| bring in frequent code updates of that non-Eclipse project’s |
| code into the Eclipse code base.</P> |
| <P><B><I>Enforcement of Board Mandated Requirements</I></B></P> |
| <P> |
| Ed Merks indicated that the Board often passes resolutions in support |
| of rules for the Projects that the EMO must later implement in the |
| face of both non-compliance and opposition and questioned whether |
| this type of enforcement is something that the Board wants the EMO to |
| focus their efforts on. One such resolution is the December 14, |
| 2006 resolution concerning Project’s website content. |
| Following discussion, the following were agreed upon: </P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.91cm; text-indent: -0.64cm">1) |
| Having the EMO proactively search out non-compliant Projects and |
| enforcing compliance is not a useful exercise.</P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.91cm; text-indent: -0.64cm">2) |
| Having Projects comply with these guidelines should be the |
| responsibility of the PMCs. The EMO needs to make it abundantly |
| clear to the PMCs that it is their responsibility to ensure that all |
| the Projects under their control comply.</P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.91cm; text-indent: -0.64cm">3) |
| The EMO took the action to: (a) highlight non-compliant |
| Projects; (b) add compliance with Board approved Policies to all of |
| the review checklists (other than creation review). You will |
| not pass the review unless you comply (i.e. Graduation, Continuation, |
| and Release reviews),</P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.91cm; text-indent: -0.64cm">4) |
| The Board reminded the EMO of its responsibility to terminate |
| non-compliant PMC Leads and members.</P> |
| <P>In addition, the need for greater Project education was |
| recognized. The Planning Council was highlighted as one such |
| place where this could take place. |
| </P> |
| <P><B><U>Dual-licensing Embedded Runtime Components</U></B></P> |
| <P> |
| Doug Gaff introduced the proposal to dual license the RTSC and TCF |
| agents under the <A HREF="http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/epl-v10.php">Eclipse |
| Public License</A> (“EPL”) and <A HREF="http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/edl-v10.php">Eclipse |
| Distribution License</A> (“EDL”) which is based on the |
| <A HREF="http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php">BSD |
| template</A>. The related presentation material is attached |
| hereto as <a href="2008_06_exhibits/ExhibitP.pdf">Exhibit P</a>. The Board recognized the importance |
| of enabling these technologies and maintaining the technology at |
| Eclipse and felt that the dual licensing of these components was |
| appropriate in this case. Accordingly, the following resolution |
| was passed:</P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.27cm"> |
| <B>RESOLVE</B>D, there was unanimous consent to approve the dual |
| licensing of the RTSC and TCF agents under the <A HREF="http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/epl-v10.php">Eclipse |

| <P> |
| Ricco Deutscher re-introduced the strategy discussion, the related |
| material for which is attached as <a href="2008_06_exhibits/ExhibitQ.pdf">Exhibit Q</a> hereto. In |
| discussing the Eclipse Foundation’s Mission, it was felt that |
| the Mission was adequately outlined in the “Purposes” |
| Section of the Eclipse Bylaws (Section 1.1). Ricco asserted |
| that the Eclipse vision does not appear to exist today and that this |
| was a necessary component in order to develop a strategy. |
| In discussing Eclipse’s vision, Mike Milinkovich indicated that |
| he thought that the “secret sauce” at Eclipse had nothing |
| to do with technology. Rather, Mike felt that the “secret |
| sauce” is that Eclipse has created the best platform in the |
| world for doing industry collaborative development in that Eclipse is |
| the place where many people and companies come together to |
| collaborate on industry platforms, whatever that might be. |
| </P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm">The Board of Directors then divided |
| into groups to discuss Eclipse’s strengths, weaknesses, |
| opportunities, and threats (“SWOT”) that had been |
| discussed the previous day. Each group was to come back with |
| proposals to address the points identified. |
| </P> |
| <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm">Mike Milinkovich |
| declared the meeting adjourned at approximately 2:40 Mountain Time. |
