| Board members. Al Nugent (CTO) is replacing Jim Saliba as the |

| time for the Board to recognize the contribution of Dave Thomson to |
| Eclipse Foundation and the broader Eclipse ecosystem. Mike |
| Milinkovich further indicated that without the support of Dave |
| Thomson that the Eclipse Foundation would not exist today. |
| Though not alone, Dave was a primary supporter within IBM for the |
| creation of the Eclipse Foundation. There was unanimous consent |
| to approve the following Resolution: |

| approximately a year. Mike further indicated that one of |
| the goals of the revisions was to have the document more readable and |
| that he felt that the revisions accomplished that goal. Mike |
| further indicated that he wished to recognize the efforts of Adrian |
| Cho, the chair of the IP Advisory Committee and a representative for |
| IBM, who put a lot of personal effort into getting this completed for |
| the benefit of the community. No further questions being |

| <P><B><U>Strategy and Program Plan</U></B></P> |
| <P> |
| Mike Milinkovich introduced the Strategy and Program Plan |
| discussion. Specifically, Mike indicated that he and Ricco |
| Deutscher prepared a presentation which combined the continuing work |
| on the 2009 strategy and the current state of the 2009 Program Plan |
| based on the previous meeting’s SWOT analysis. Mike |
| then turned the floor over to Ricco to drive the discussion with the |
| Board. After much discussion, the Vision Statement and |
| Goals of the Eclipse Foundation were adjusted. . |
| The Strategy Committee took an action item to compare the 2008 Goals |
| against those updated in the meeting and reconcile the two.</P> |
| <P> |
| In reviewing the initiatives in the presentation, the Board concluded |
| that the following three Board Working Groups should be created to |
| consider: (a) the creation of more “barriers to |
| exit” for members, especially strategic members; (b) the |
| creation of a program to support the creation of local user and |
| community groups; and (c) the future evolution of Eclipse |
| Plug-In Central (EPIC).</P> |
| <P><B><U>Industry Working Groups</U></B></P> |
| <P> |
| Dino Brusco presented a proposal to create a Mobile Working Group, a |
| copy of the related presentation for which is attached hereto as |
| <a href="2008_09_exhibits/ExhibitJ.pdf">Exhibit J</a>. Dino indicated that the hardware capability of |
| devices is growing phenomenally which allows for more robust software |
| environments to be hosted in the device and unique opportunities. |
| The Mobile Working Group would look at how to leverage these |
| opportunities by driving the definition and implementation of an |
| application development kit for mobile developers. |
| </P> |
| <P> |
| Mike Milinkovich presented an overview of the Industry Working Group |
| concept, attached hereto as <a href="2008_09_exhibits/ExhibitK.pdf">Exhibit K</a>. Mike pointed out that while |
| Eclipse open source projects are necessary for collaborative |
| development they are not sufficient to meeting all of the needs of a |
| complete industry collaboration. IWG’s are an attempt to create |
| a governance model and process for fostering such collaborations.</P> |
| <P><B><U>Licensing Discussion</U></B></P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm">Jeff McAffer led a discussion on |
| “broader dual licensing for runtime projects at Eclipse”, |
| the related presentation for which is attached hereto as <a href="2008_09_exhibits/ExhibitL.pdf">Exhibit L</a>. |
| </P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm">The copyleft aspects of the EPL were |
| discussed with several directors indicating that those provisions of |
| the EPL were important to them. Following the discussion |
| it was decided to direct the IP Advisory Committee to the Board to |
| provide new projects with guidelines that would help them make their |
| licensing decisions, including the possibility of dual-licensing the |
| project. With respect to dual-licensing considerations |

| David Williams provided a report for the WTP PMC, a copy of the |
| related presentation material is attached hereto as <a href="2008_09_exhibits/ExhibitM.pdf">Exhibit M</a>. |
| There was some discussion regarding the possibility of asking our |
| Tooling Projects to support our Runtime Projects. David |
| Williams indicted that there were some restrictions in the WTP PMC |
| Charter that would need to be reviewed. Mike Milinkovich |
| indicated that the PMC should consider whether those restrictions |
| still made sense and if necessary, pose modifications to the EMO.</P> |

| The Board’s general consensus was that these reports were both |
| appreciated and useful. In an effort to reduce the workload |
| some Board Members suggested that a presentation format might be |
| preferable from the Project’s viewpoint and sufficient for the |
| Board.</P> |

| The Solution Member Representatives provided an update, the related |
| presentation material for which is attached hereto as <a href="2008_09_exhibits/ExhibitO.pdf">Exhibit O</a>. |
| The Solution Member Representatives indicated a preference to be |
| given advance warning of any initiative that was designed to exclude |
| their Member Class so that they would be in a better position to |
| respond to questions from their community. Mike Milinkovich |
| indicated that the proposal for the “Eclipse Strategic Member |
| Custom Delivery Installer Program” was a proposal at this stage |
| and that it had been his understanding that the Board had directed |
| him to pursue programs that would provide differentiated value to |
| Strategic Members. Doug Gaff emphasized the importance of |
| providing such differentiated value, indicating that the lack of |
| differentiated value it is a pain point for Strategic Members in |
| justifying their annual investment. |

| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm">After some discussion, it was |
