| conferences had changed a great deal over the last few years and that |
| there now existed a lot of inexpensive developer conferences. |
| Ian further commented that he believed that the Foundation needed to |
| reduce the costs of putting on the conferences. Paul |
| Lipton commented that food must be a good portion of the EclipseCon |
| costs. Ian replied that it was, though it also helped with |
| networking which conference attendees valued a great deal. Ian |
| indicated that the current thought was to have a light breakfast and |
| nice lunches, but then cut back on the receptions significantly. |
| Paul Lipton commented that the Foundation could also consider looking |
| at other venues, indicating that Philadelphia had a large food market |
| right across the street from its major convention centre. |

| Milinkovich responded that when the Foundation completed an analysis |
| of the competing conferences, EclipseCon came out looking quite |
| expensive. Ian Skerrett further commented that the |
| Foundation was looking at the possibility of starting the conference |
| on the weekend. Dennis Leung asked what the Foundation’s |
| current view was on whether to stay at the Reston venue. Ian |
| Skerrett responded that he’d like to start that discussion in |
| terms of whether to stay on the East or West coast of North America. |
| Ian further indicated that his personal preference was not to go back |
| to Santa Clara, California and that if a Bay location was of interest |
| in California, to look at San Francisco. Mike Milinkovich added |
| that the Foundation was also considering starting up another couple |
| of conferences to address specific needs, such as Orion.</SPAN></P> |

| there is a great deal of value in the intellectual property due |
| diligence work that the Eclipse Foundation does. Paul |
| noted that the Board had agreed that any approval on an exception |
| basis be marked in IPZilla clearly. Janet Campbell responded |
| that this had been done and took an action item to circulate the |
| steps necessary for someone with IPZilla access to identify those |
| records in the IPZilla database. Following the discussion, the |

| advised Board members that if they have not yet started testing their |
| Projects on Eclipse 4.2, that they were running late. Igor |
| Fedorenko commented that he had tried both M4 and M5 for the 4.2 |
| release and neither had worked. He also commented that while he |
| had opened a bug in December, it had not yet been fixed. Mik |
| Kersten expressed concern on how adoption may be affected in the |
| event other companies elected not to do testing and something doesn’t |
| work. Mike Milinkovich reflected back to the group that |
| he believed that there were three primary concerns: (1) the |
| amount of testing on the compatibility layer and whether it was good |
| enough; (2) concerns about the state of the UI; and (3) in some |
| scenarios, it just doesn’t work in cases where there are |
| outstanding bugs. John Kellerman advised that the Eclipse |
| Platform Team had asked for help and asked Igor for a reference for |
| the bug he was referencing. </SPAN> |

| <SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike Milinkovich provided an update on Eclipse |
| Foundation Membership, the related slides for which are attached as |
| <a href="2012_03_exhibits/ExhibitE.pdf">Exhibit E</a>. Mike reported that in terms of overall membership, |
| the Eclipse Foundation was as good as it has ever been, though a |
| lower number of Strategic Members had resulted in lower revenues for |
| the Foundation. Mike also reported that the Foundation had seen |
| more growth in Europe, thanks in large part to Ralph Mueller’s |
| efforts there. Mik Kersten commented that the growth of |
| the modeling community in Europe likely contributed positively as |
| well. Mike noted there was also a cultural aspect, in that he |
| believed Europeans were more inclined to join clubs. Mike also |
| noted that the Foundation was now seeing an increase in the number of |
| North American companies in the pipeline which was good news. </SPAN> |

| <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY> |
| <SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike Milinkovich provided an overview of the |
| Foundation’s Key Performance Indicators. Mike indicated that there had |
| been a significant uptick in download trends and a shift in where |
| many of those downloads are originating from. Mike indicated |
| that China is now a very large source of downloads for the Eclipse |
| Foundation. Mike further indicated that putting Eclipse |
| Marketplace client in the packages had been a major success and that |
| more and more Eclipse developers are looking to Eclipse Marketplace |
| as a way to get the things that they need. Bernd Kolb asked if |
| the Foundation had considered doing an EclipseCon in Asia. Mike |
| indicated that the Foundation wasn’t confident that it would |
| not lose money doing so. Mike added that if there was a group |
| of member companies that said they would sponsor an EclipseCon Asia |
| if the Foundation put one on or support marketing efforts in Asia, |
| the Foundation would consider it. Dennis Leung indicated that |
| he would need to have a better understanding on what a marketing |
| program would look like – both from the standpoint of framework |
| and cost. Mike Milinkovich added that if members of the Board |
| had ideas to generate memberships in Asia, he would welcome |
| suggestions. Paul Lipton responded that what other |
| organizations have found is that companies in Asia have close ties |
| with their governments and that building close relationships with the |
| right government agencies was key.</SPAN></P> |
| <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY> |
| <SPAN LANG="en-US">In touching on other Key Performance Indictors |
| Mike Milinkovich commented that while there was a slight upward slope |
| on the Eclipse momentum, the new membership pipeline wasn’t |
| where he would like to see it. With respect to Project and |
| Committer Metrics, Mike commented that for the first time the Eclipse |
| Foundation had over 100 companies funding Committers at Eclipse. |
| Mike added that at the request of the Board the Eclipse Foundation |
| had begun tracking active Projects at Eclipse. He mentioned further |
| that the EMO would be archiving some of the inactive Projects in |
| Modeling with Ed Merks’ assistance. Mike |
| highlighted that the IP Backlog was high and that Committers may |
| start complaining about delays in approvals. He further noted |
| that the intention was to hire for a start in Q3 which should address |
| the issue. Bernd Kolb asked if the requests for IP review were |
| from projects that the Foundation had already seen. Janet |
| Campbell indicated that the Foundation was increasingly seeing new |
| versions of previously reviewed packages, the exception being when we |
| see a new Project in a new technological area. In those cases, |
| the Foundation sees more new technology that we need to look at for |
| the first time. </SPAN> |

| sure that Eclipse is seen as the place to source OSGi material. |
| Bernd Kolb indicated that it was important to have the central point |
| to ask for the bundle, but technically, why did it need to be sourced |

| <SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike Milinkovich introduced a discussion on the |
| Industry Working Group Process, indicating that currently the |
| Industry Working Group Process document and Charter are approved by |
| the Executive Director. Based on discussions at a prior Board |
| meeting, Mike wanted to discuss with the Board whether they remain |
| comfortable with that. Boris Bokowski indicated that his |
| concern had primarily been that large portions of the Eclipse |
| Foundation’s Bylaws and Membership Agreement had appeared in |
| the Charter. Mike responded that that issue had now been |
| fixed. The general consensus was that people were comfortable |
| with the existing approach. </SPAN> |

| <SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike Milinkovich provided an overview of some |
| Eclipse Foundation web download statistics, the related slides for |
| which are attached as <a href="2012_03_exhibits/ExhibitL.pdf">Exhibit L</a>. Paul Clenahan suggested that perhaps |
| the Foundation could look at other opportunities for advertising and |
| other locations within eclipse.org. Mike Milinkovich asked if |
| anyone had any concerns in the Foundation sold ads for a Project |
| download page. John Kellerman indicated that the Project would |
| want to have some choice – it would be a concern for some for |
| example if a competitor elected to advertise on their Project page. |
| Paul Clenahan responded that he would prefer if the Foundation |
| gravitate towards competitors dealing with each other assuming there |
| was a fair mechanism associated with the purchase of advertising. |
| Bernd Kolb asked about commercial ads associated with Eclipse |
| Marketplace. Mike Milinkovich indicated that he had not thought |
| about that, though his initial thought was that what was being |
| discussed with respect to Project pages would be easier. Chris |
| Aniszczyk indicated that he did not favour selling advertising on |
| Project pages, adding that he believed the Foundation could make |
| money other ways. Mik Kersten added that giving the Project |
| more control over the pages incents the Projects to invest in them. |
| Mik added that he believed more “Foundation trim” on |
| those pages would result in less Project investment in the pages. |
| Ed Merks added that a certain segment would not react well to |
| advertising on Eclipse Project pages because they will see it as |
| inconsistent – “you give away stuff, but then the Eclipse |
| Foundation gets to advertise on your page.” The general |
| consensus was that the status quo should remain, and there will be no |
| advertising on project download pages.</SPAN></P> |
