| </OL> |
| <P><B><U>Outgoing Board Members</U></B></P> |
| <P>This was the last meeting for Kai-Uwe Maetzel and Scott Lewis, as |
| they decided not to run for re-election as committer representatives. |
| They were each given an opportunity to provide some parting comments |
| to the Board.</P> |
| <P><B><U>Newly Elected Board Members</U></B></P> |
| <P>Each newly elected Board member in attendance was given an |
| opportunity to introduce themselves and discuss their objectives for |
| their term.</P> |
| <P><U><B>Add-In Provider </B></U> |
| </P> |
| <P>The Add-In Provider representatives were provided an opportunity |
| to raise issues of import to their community.</P> |
| <P><I>Issue #1: IBM Jazz Initiative</I></P> |
| <P>The topic of the IBM Jazz initiative was discussed. In particular, |
| the concern for the Add-In Provider members is that it is concerning |
| that there is some talk in the media about Jazz being competitive to |
| Eclipse. No one questions IBMs right to pursue their business |
| strategy, but if this represents a lessening of support in Eclipse, |
| then it would be good to know because it could have an impact on the |
| ecosystem.</P> |
| <P>Dave Thomson, the board representative for IBM addressed the |
| concerns, by pointing out that there have been some inaccuracies in |
| the press. Jazz is the next generation platform for Rational, where |
| the integration point is the lifecycle, not the desktop. It is a |
| commercial effort. It is not an open source initiative and it isn’t |
| an open source license. Jazz is built on Eclipse, not intended to |
| compete with it, and IBM will work with the Eclipse Foundation to |
| ensure that message is consistently portrayed.</P> |
| <P><I>Issue #2: Establishing the Infrastructure Customization Working |
| Group</I></P> |
| <P>There have been instances where various Eclipse projects have been |
| interested in using commercial software tools for their development. |
| The current policy is that the infrastructure used for Eclipse |
| projects is open source and supported by the EMO. Maintaining a |
| fairly homogenous infrastructure allows for economies of scale, and |
| simplifies the learning required by committers, contributors, |
| adopters and users when interacting with Eclipse projects. However, |
| since the core Jazz frameworks are not sufficient to completely host |
| development, there would be a requirement that a mix of open-source |
| and commercially-licensed infrastructure be running on Eclipse |
| servers in order to host Jazz-based projects at Eclipse. |
| </P> |
| <P>The real issue for the Board is providing a level playing field. |
| If we are going to allow projects to use commercial tools and |
| infrastructure in their development, we would have to allow everyone |
| to do that.</P> |
| <P><B>RESOLVED</B>, that there was unanimous consent to create a |
| working group named “Managing Proposed Infrastructure |
| Customization” with the following terms of reference:</P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 0.64cm">The set of infrastructure available to |
| developers is vast. Bugzilla, CVS, MediaWiki, Jira, Confluence, |
| Subversion, and an array of commercial projects and products such as |
| Jazz. Currently eclipse.org runs a particular subset of these. |
| Over time, various project and company communities may wish to use |
| additional or different infrastructure. The Foundation should |
| develop a consistent approach to allowing and implementing this |
| requirement should it arise. This working group is charged with |
| developing guidance for: |
| </P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.91cm; text-indent: -0.64cm">a) |
| maintaining a level playing field for all projects and members |
| (committer and corporate). For example, should one member be |
| able to mandate the use of their (or other’s) infrastructure? |
| </P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.91cm; text-indent: -0.64cm">b) |
| ensuring access by all members of the community (maintaining a low |
| barrier to entry and operating). For example, would having a |
| wide and varied set of infrastructure present an excessive barrier to |
| the community who must learn and use each of the different tools to |
| participate? |
| </P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.91cm; text-indent: -0.64cm">c) |
| managing infrastructure on a per project and community basis. |
| For example, should the foundation’s infrastructure team be expected |
| to install, maintain and update many different facilities?</P> |
| <P>Participants: Saunders, Steve, Dave Thomson, Jeff McAffer, Brian |
| Roberts, Howard Lewis, Michael Bechauf, Mike Taylor, Konstantin |
| Komissarchik</P> |
| <P><I>Issue #3: Establishing the Cross-Project Resource Allocation |
| Working Group</I></P> |
| <P>As a continuation of the previous conversation and the points |
| raised by the outgoing committer representatives, the question was |
| raised on how to increase diversity in the core platform project(s) |
| and to increase investment in projects and activities for the common |
| good of the Eclipse community. A number of different ideas were |
| discussed, such as: imposing a headcount “tax” on |
| strategic developers to force contributions to platform projects, and |
| changing the membership agreement for future strategic members. There |
| was no consensus on any of these ideas.</P> |
| <P><B>RESOLVED</B>, that there was unanimous consent to create a |
| working group named the Cross-Project Resource Allocation Working |
| Group with the following terms of reference:</P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 0.64cm">There are a number of requirements |
| that cut across projects where focused efforts would benefit the |
| broader community (e.g. translations and Europa release train |
| engineer). This working group will examine the need for |
| cross-project resource allocation and examine the alternatives |
| available to meet any needs identified (including the possible |
| addition of a “tax” to support such efforts).</P> |
| <P>Participants: Richard Gronback, Philip Dodds, Dave Thomson, |
| Dino Brusco, Mitch Sonies, Brian Roberts, Ed Cobb, Tim Barnes, Denis |
| Leung, Konstantin Komissarchik, Steve Saunders, Darrin Swanson, Eric |
| Newcomer, and Mike Taylor.</P> |
| <P><I>Issue #4: Recognition of Skip McGaughey</I></P> |
| <P>Howard Lewis raised the point that Skip McGaughey is retiring from |
| the Eclipse Foundation at the end of May. Skip has been involved with |
| Eclipse since its inception: first on the staff of IBM as the |
| original Chairman of the Eclipse Consortium, then on the staff of the |
| Eclipse Foundation as Director, Ecosystem.</P> |
| <P><B>RESOLVED</B>, that there was unanimous agreement by the Board |
| of Directors to recognize the contributions of Skip McGaughey for his |
| many contributions to the success of the Eclipse community. |
