| <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm; margin-top: 0.42cm; page-break-after: avoid"> |
| Mike Milinkovich introduced discussion on the draft minutes that had |
| been circulated prior to the meeting. He asked those in |
| attendance to note specifically the greater detail that had been |
| included in the abridged minutes and asked everyone to ensure that |
| they were comfortable with that level of detail.</P> |
| <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm; margin-top: 0.42cm; page-break-after: avoid"> |
| There was unanimous consent to approve the following Resolutions:</P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.27cm; text-indent: 1.27cm"><B>RESOLVED</B>, |
| the minutes and abridged minutes of the March 5, 2007 meeting as |
| circulated prior to the Board Meeting and attached hereto as |
| <a href="2007_03_05_Minutes.php">Exhibit A</a> are approved.</P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.27cm; text-indent: 1.27cm"><B>RESOLVED</B>, |
| the minutes of the April 18, 2007 conference call as circulated prior |
| to the Board Meeting are approved.</P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.27cm; text-indent: 1.27cm"><B>RESOLVED</B>, |
| the minutes of May 16, 2007 conference call circulated prior to the |
| Board Meeting, with one minor modification to add Steve Saunders as |
| an attendee, is approved.</P> |
| <P><U>YTD Financial Actuals</U></P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.32cm">Chris Larocque provided an overview of |
| the YTD financial actuals as provided prior to the Board Meeting. |
| Chris indicated that we are pretty much on budget. In looking |
| at the Q1 budget vs. actuals, there are some variances, but this is |
| primarily related to timing. |
| </P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.27cm"> |
| <B>RESOLVED</B>, there was unanimous consent to approve the Q1 |
| financial results. |
| </P> |
| <P><U>Forecast and Program Plan</U></P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm">Chris Larocque reviewed the |
| forecast. Revenue and Expenses are both down somewhat but |
| we expect to end up close to the original budget. |
| </P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm">Mike Milinkovich provided an overview |
| of the program plan as provided prior to the Board Meeting and |
| attached hereto as <a href="2007_06_exhibits/ExhibitF.html">Exhibit F</a>. |
| Mike reminded everyone that this |
| program summary was approved last December as part of the budget, the |
| idea being that there is a financial budget that says where the |
| dollars are going and the program summary says what the foundation is |
| doing and where it is spending the money. The program |
| summary is coupled with the forecast and has been updated to show |
| current status, items that have been identified as at risk, and items |
| that we are no longer pursuing.</P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.27cm; text-indent: 1.27cm"><B>RESOLVED</B>, |
| there was unanimous consent to approve the updated forecast and |
| program plan. |
| </P> |
| <P><U>Trademark Guidelines</U></P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.32cm">Mike Milinkovich introduced the |
| revised Trademark Guidelines as provided prior to the Board Meeting |
| and attached hereto as <a href="2007_06_exhibits/ExhibitG.pdf">Exhibit G</a> indicating that the Foundation |
| intended to start asserting that Eclipse project names are Eclipse |
| trademarks. The guidelines are intended to provide guidance on |
| use and try to ensure that there isn’t confusion between |
| Eclipse projects and Eclipse based products. </P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.25cm">During the discussion, Mike |
| Milinkovich clarified that these guidelines would apply to Projects |
| and Sub-Projects, that the contemplated cost is expected to be |
| covered by the existing legal budget, and the Foundation would not be |
| pursing registration, but would be conducting a limited trademark |
| search on proposed project names. There is no expected impact |
| to the IPTeam or the Projects of implementing this policy. In |
| addition, while this policy does not address asserting trademark |
| rights over non-project acronyms such as RCP, it was decided that |
| this would be worth investigating further. |
| </P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.25cm">Some Board members expressed concern |
| regarding the impact on their organizations of the proposed changes |
| to the Guidelines and indicated they would be more comfortable if |
| they had the opportunity to review the document in greater detail |
| with their legal counsel. With these concerns noted, a vote was |
| held. By a majority vote of the Board the following |
| resolution was passed:</P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.27cm"> |
| <B>RESOLVED</B>, the revised trademark guidelines circulated prior to |
| the Board Meeting and attached hereto as <a href="2007_06_exhibits/ExhibitG.pdf">Exhibit G</a> are approved.</P> |
| <P>Mike Milinkovich invited those that did not approve the guidelines |
| to review it with their organization’s lawyers indicating that |
| the Foundation is always open to considering further revisions to the |
| guidelines. |
| </P> |
| <P STYLE="page-break-after: avoid"><U>Eclipse Project PMC Lead</U></P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm; page-break-after: avoid">Mike |
| Milinkovich put forward the following resolution which was approved |
| unanimously:</P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.27cm; text-indent: 1.27cm"><B>RESOLVED</B>, |
| that there was unanimous consent to appoint Philippe Mulet head of |
| Eclipse Project PMC.</P> |
| <P><U><B>Add-In Provider Issues</B></U></P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.24cm">The Add-In Provider representatives |
| were provided an opportunity to raise issues of import to their |
| community. The subject of translations was raised in relation |
| to Eclipse 3.3. Mike responded that we do not currently have a |
| plan for translations for Eclipse 3.3. However, the Babel project has |
| been proposed for translations. In the short term |
| this project would be able to give the community a means to |
| contribute to localization. It would not address documentation |
| in the short term, this would be more long term if pursued. |
| Mike highlighted that we have an immediate problem in that China is |
| now our #1 downloading country and Japan is #4. If we combine |
| downloads for China, Japan and South Korea together, those downloads |
| represent 30% of our total downloads. Europe as a region |
| represents the second highest downloading region followed by North |
| America in third place. |
| </P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.25cm">The add-in provider representatives |
| indicated that it was a challenge to get feedback from the add-in |
| provider community. |
| </P> |
| <P><U><B>Committer Issues</B></U></P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.25cm">The Committer representatives were |
| provided an opportunity to raise issues of import to their community |
| as attached hereto as <a href="2007_06_exhibits/ExhibitH.pdf">Exhibit H</a>. The Committer |
| representatives raised concerns in three areas: (1) the IP |
| Policy; (2) Committer Meetings; and (3) Committer |
| Diversity.</P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.25cm">Regarding the IP Policy, the Committer |
| representatives raised concerns regarding the length of time that was |
| required for IP reviews, the challenges of planning releases in the |
| absence of predictable completion time for IP reviews; and technical |
| advisement. From the standpoint of improving the IP process, |
| committer representatives expressed an interest in looking at the |
| possibility of increased staffing, improved tooling, and education |
| for committers. In some cases, such as with the Apache |
| Ant community, there may be close ties between the two communities |
| where it is to the benefit of both communities if Eclipse projects |
| can test another project’s release. The inability to |
| check code into CVS prior to full due diligence review for |
| non-incubating projects is a limiter in this case. The |
| possibility of allowing all projects to participate in parallel IP |
| was raised. Mike Milinkovich indicated that concerns had been |
| expressed by some members of the IP Advisory Committee in pursing |
| such an approach. Mike further indicated that the IP Advisory |
| Committee would benefit from hearing the perspective of the Committer |
| community. As a result of this discussion, Mike Milinkovich |
| proposed the following two resolutions which were passed unanimously:</P> |
| <P> |
| <B>RESOLVED</B>, Ed Merks and Konstantin Komissarchik are hereby |
| appointed to the IP Advisory Committee.</P> |
| <P> |
| <B>RESOLVE</B>D, the Board requests that the IP Advisory Committee |
| reconsider the decision not to allow parallel IP for all projects.</P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.24cm">The Committer representatives |
| indicated an interest in expanding education opportunities for |
| Committers. Mike Milinkovich indicated that the leverage point |
| are mentors from the Architecture Council, but there may be |
| opportunities for us to reach out at events such as Member Meetings, |
| Eclipse Summit Europe, OS Summit Asia, JUGs, plug-in fests and code |
| camps. The Committer representatives also indicated an interest |
| in having a track at EclipseCon 2008. Committer |
| representatives raised the possibility of having the Foundation fund |
| some travel for Committer representatives to attend events such as |
| Eclipse Summit Europe. This is currently not permitted |
| under Section 11.4 of the Eclipse Foundation Bylaws. The |
| subject of increasing Committer Diversity was also discussed and the |
| need for working groups, committer meetings, and mentoring. The |
| Committer representatives also raised a concern that there is a |
| perception amongst some in the community that the Strategic Members |
| are not living up to their resource commitments. Mike |
| Milinkovich responded that there is a ramp up period and Strategic |
| Members who have been with the Foundation for 18 months are generally |
| compliant. Mike took the action to have the EMO investigate |
| ways through our web site to give greater visibility to the |
| contributions of strategic members. The point was made that it |
| is important for new organizations that visibility is given in such a |
| way that doesn’t embarrass the new member. The |
| possibility of the Foundation assisting with IP Logs was also raised |
| and Jeff McAffer took an action item to raise a bug on this subject. |
| </P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-top: 0.42cm"><U><B>General Business</B></U></P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-top: 0.42cm"><U>Confidentiality of Board Discussions</U></P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm; margin-top: 0.42cm; margin-bottom: 0.2cm"> |
| Mike Milinkovich noted that discussions at the last face to face |
| Board meeting were leaked to the press and though it useful for the |
| Board to discuss the confidentiality of Board discussions. |
| </P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm; margin-top: 0.42cm">Mike proposed that |
| the Foundation get the Board and public minutes completed for |
| approval at the next Board meeting. If during a discussion at |
| the Board, committer representatives or Add-In Provider |
| representatives would like to raise a topic to their constituency, |
| they ask the Board. The Board would then vote on the proposal |
| with all votes being a simple majority. The understanding |
| would be that no Board member would ever attribute a statement to |
| someone else. Mike further indicated that he would add this |
| topic to the new Board Member Bootcamp presentation.</P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-top: 0.42cm"><U>Policy of Pre-Requiring Code in |
| Eclipse Projects</U></P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm; margin-top: 0.42cm">Mike Milinkovich |
| introduced the “Guidelines for the Review of Third Party |
| Dependencies” document circulated prior to the Board meeting |
| and attached hereto as <a href="2007_06_exhibits/ExhibitI.pdf">Exhibit I</a>. The document is |
| intended to provide guidance to the projects on what they can and |
| cannot do. Currently, these decisions are not transparent to |
| the community. The document was discussed, modified |
| during the discussion and re-circulated to the Board for discussion |
| the following day. |
| </P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-top: 0.42cm"><U>Use of Commercial Tools in Eclipse |
| Development</U></P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm; margin-top: 0.42cm">Mike Milinkovich |
| introduced a draft Policy and Resolution concerning the use of |
| Commercial Tools in Eclipse Development in non-core areas that was |
| circulated prior to the meeting and attached hereto as <a href="2007_06_exhibits/ExhibitJ1.pdf">Exhibit J.1</a>. |
| The issue of whether this would create a barrier to contributors was |
| raised. Mike Milinkovich indicated that it would, but making |
| sure that every project must have access to the same tool would |
| reduce the risk that a contributor might have to know a lot of |
| different tools. The document was modified during the |
| discussion and attached hereto as <a href="2007_06_exhibits/ExhibitJ2.pdf">Exhibit J.2</a>. Mike Milinkovich then |
| proposed the following resolution which was passed unanimously: |
| </P> |
| <P> </P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.27cm; text-indent: 1.27cm"><B>RESOLVED</B>, |
| that the Board hereby instructs each Eclipse project to conform to |

| process. |

| <P STYLE="page-break-after: avoid"> |
| Mike Milinkovich re-opened discussion on this document, which |
| following modification by the Board the previous day, had been |
| re-circulated for further review. Following further |
| discussion and minor modification, Mike Milinkovich proposed the |
| following resolution which was passed unanimously.</P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.27cm"> |
| <B>RESOLVED</B>, the Board approves the Guidelines for the Review of |
| Third Party Dependencies, as amended and attached hereto as |
| <a href="2007_06_exhibits/ExhibitS.pdf">Exhibit S</a>.</P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-top: 0.42cm"><U>Vendor Neutrality</U></P> |
| <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY> |
| Mike Milinkovich introduced the topic of vendor neutrality. |
| Essentially in some circumstances we are sourcing open source code |
| originating from a single vendor and that is something we should |
| specifically consider the implications of. The lack of a |
| definition of “open source”, what constitutes a “neutral” |
| project, and the fact that this state could change over time was |
| discussed and the associated problems of managing any such |
| distinction. In addition, Mike Milinkovich expressed concerns |
| in having the Board direct the EMO to second guess a project’s |
| decision. Some concerns were expressed regarding the inclusion |
| of third party packages and the difficulty this presents to her |
| company when selling to customers. The possibility of an RRS |
| feed on requested and approved submissions was discussed and will be |
| investigated further by the Foundation. |
| </P> |
| <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><U>Strategy Discussion</U></P> |
| <P> |
| Mike Milinkovich initiated a brainstorming session on strategies that |
| the Foundation could pursue. This was followed by re-examining |
| the Foundation’s strategy document to see what changes the |
| Board wished to consider. There was insufficient time to |
| complete this effort and so a working group was created to work on |
| proposed revisions to the strategy slide for review at the August |
| Board meeting. During the course of the discussion, the |
| possibility of inviting donations to Eclipse and charging additional |
| funds for EclipseCon in order to fund program plans was discussed. |
| The following resolution was proposed and approved unanimously:</P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.27cm"> |
| <B>RESOLVED</B>, the Board directs the EMO to use its discretion to |
| make a profit on its annual EclipseCon conference, and to use those |
| profits to fund programs.</P> |
| <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY> |
| There being no additional business to tend to, Mike Milinkovich |
| declared the meeting adjourned. |
