| <P> </P> |
| <P>Present at the invitation of the Board was Mike Milinkovich, |
| Executive Director, Janet Campbell, Secretary, and Chris Larocque, |
| Treasurer of Eclipse.org Foundation, Inc.</P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-top: 0.42cm; page-break-after: avoid"><B><U>General |
| Business</U></B> |
| </P> |
| <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm; margin-top: 0.42cm">Paul |
| Czarnik gave a brief overview concerning Compuware’s decision |
| to renew as an add-in provider member, rather than a strategic |
| developer. The decision was not one of backing away from |
| Eclipse. Rather it was decided that maintaining Compuware’s |
| strategic status did not make sense during their current business |
| consolidation.</P> |
| <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm; margin-top: 0.42cm">Mike |
| Milinkovich introduced the minutes from the July and August meetings |
| and asked for any corrections and/or comments. Some minor |
| changes were introduced and the following resolution passed:</P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.27cm; text-indent: 1.27cm"><B>RESOLVED</B>, |
| that there was unanimous consent (Dave Thomson abstaining) to approve |
| the amended minutes of July and August. </P> |
| <P><B><U>Review of Year to Date Financial Actuals:</U></B></P> |
| <P> |
| Chris Larocque gave an overview of the year to date financial |
| actuals. Essentially, the P&L is pretty much |
| tracking on budget and we are where we expected to be on the Balance |
| sheet. . |
| </P> |
| <P><B><U>IP Tooling Improvements:</U></B></P> |
| <P> |
| Mike Milinkovich gave an overview of IP tooling improvements that are |
| underway and additional improvements that are planned, the related |
| presentation material for which is attached as <a href="2007_09_exhibits/ExhibitA.pdf">Exhibit A</a>.</P> |
| <P><B><U>Committer Community Issues:</U></B></P> |
| <P> |
| <U>Simultaneous Release Train:</U> The topic of the |
| simultaneous release train was raised and whether we would be able to |
| support the release train from an IP standpoint. Janet Campbell |
| indicated that we expected to be able to support the release train, |
| though we did not yet have a good view on the size of the train. |
| Mike Milinkovich indicated that he sees the release train, not just |
| growing wildly, but increasing in quality and integration. |
| </P> |
| <P> |
| <U>Build System:</U> The subject of the build system and |
| whether the Foundation could assist projects with this requirement |
| was discussed. Mike Milinkovich took an action to look at |
| what could the EMO could do to support this goal and come back to the |
| Board by March 2008.</P> |
| <P> |
| <U>Infrastructure Limitations: </U>The subject of |
| infrastructure limitations was raised. Mike Milinkovich |
| indicated that he and Denis were already in discussions to determine |
| how to best address these potential limitations. The Board |
| unanimously approved following resolution to create a Common Build |
| Infrastructure Working Group open to all projects:</P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.27cm; text-indent: 1.27cm"><B>RESOLVED</B>, |
| there was unanimous consent to the creation of a working group lead |
| by Konstantin Komissarchik to study the issues associated with |
| creating a common build infrastructure for Eclipse projects. |
| </P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm"><U>Advertising: </U> The |
| topic of including advertising on Elcipse.org was raised as a revenue |
| generating opportunity. The Board unanimously |
| approved the following resolution to create an Advertising Working |
| Group of the Board:: |
| </P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.27cm; text-indent: 1.27cm"><B>RESOLVED</B>, |
| there was unanimous consent to the creation of an advertising working |
| group to study the issue of member driven advertising on the |
| Eclipse.org web site (including Google ads) with a mandate to the |
| Board with a recommendation at the December Board meeting.</P> |
| <P> |
| <U>Other:</U> Mike Milinkovich indicated that we would be |
| looking into EclipseStore as well as the possibility of using |
| PayPal for donations, pending receipt of guidance on what if any tax |
| implications there were. The Board unanimously approved the |
| following resolution: |
| </P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.27cm"> |
| <B>RESOLVED</B>, provided no difficulties are identified from a |
| taxation standpoint in discussions with external counsel, the Board |
| approves the Foundation pursuing the use of PayPal for accepting |
| donations.</P> |
| <P><B><U>Program Plan:</U></B></P> |
| <P> |
| Mike Milinkovich recapped the planning process. In the June |
| Board meeting we talked about the strategy and finalized the strategy |
| document that we will be using for planning purposes. In the |
| September Board meeting we talk about the actual programs that we |
| would put in place to accomplish those goals. Finally, at the |
| December Board meeting we are going to have a budget proposal that |
| will cost out these program plan ideas and tell you which ones we are |
| actually doing based on what we can afford. |
| </P> |
| <P> |
| The subject of testing resources was raised in relation to the |
| program plan. There was recognition that we could be doing a |
| better job of facilitating community testing, and that there were |
| merits to considering a dedicated testing team. |
| </P> |
| <P> |
| As part of the review, Mike Milinkovich reviewed the project |
| investment level by company. The Board also discussed |
| usability. Mike Milinkovich noted that we have a resolution on |
| the books with Strategic Developers agreeing to put together |
| usability guidelines. Right now we are on a course to not meet this |
| goal for Ganymede. No solution was identified at the meeting.</P> |
| <P> |
| In discussing fostering growth and adoption related programs, there |
| was a suggestion to establish a “Help Wanted” section for |
| projects to leverage. |
| </P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-bottom: 0.42cm"><U><B>Open discussion: Strategic |
| Developer Commitments and Reporting</B></U></P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm">There was a discussion to create a |
| consensus on what we are expecting from Strategic Developers members |
| when they do their annual “report card” at the December |
| meeting. It was concluded that Mike Milinkovich would |
| provide a template to facilitate reporting. |
| </P> |
| <P><B><U>Membership Status:</U></B></P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm">Mike Milinkovich introduced the topic |
| of Membership, highlighting that it has slowed somewhat. Mike |
| Milinkovich commented that having more diverse sources of revenue |
| would definitely lower the risk pointing out however, that it would |
| be hard to imagine a way where the Eclipse Foundation could make |
| money without taking away a commercial opportunity from the |
| ecosystem. It was concluded that Mike would take the task of |
| (1) identifying additional value for current memberships; and (2) |
| look at alternative sources of revenue for the Foundation, and that |
| this would be discussed at the next face to face meeting in greater |
| detail. The Board approved the following resolution |
| unanimously:</P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.27cm"> |
| <B>RESOLVED</B>, the Executive Director is directed to examine |
| additional revenue generating opportunities in the area of: (i) |
| new revenue sources; (ii) driving member value; and (iii) revisiting |
| the fee structure for membership.</P> |
| <P><B><U>Speakers:</U></B></P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm">Tony Bailetti, Carleton University |
| gave a talk on “Open Source Maturity Models”, based on |
| work on an upcoming article in Harvard Business Review, the related |
| presentation for which is attached as <a href="2007_09_exhibits/ExhibitB.pdf">Exhibit B</a>.</P> |
| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm">Eric Newcomer gave a presentation on |
| OSGi Enterprise Expert Group Status and Directions. Eric is the |
| chair of this expert group at OSGi, which will be defining several |
| new specifications of relevance to the Eclipse community. |
