Representatives.&nbsp; The related presentation is attached as
<a href="2008_12_exhibits/ExhibitF.pdf">Exhibit F</a>.&nbsp; Doug indicated that while the coordinated build
worked, it was too frequently broken.&nbsp; Doug further indicated
that there was a lack of continuous testing.&nbsp; In addition to the
foregoing, Doug highlighted a mismatch between what the Projects
deliver in the simultaneous release and the expectations of the
adopter and user communities.&nbsp; Mike Milinkovich indicated that
there was often such a mismatch in expectations, such a mismatch
occurred irrespective of the public position that the Eclipse
Foundation took on the topic.&nbsp; Mike further indicated that to
the extent that there were bugs filed against the simultaneous
release that were not fixed, there was a commercial opportunity for a
vendor.</SPAN></P>
<P LANG="en-US"><U><B>Architecture Council</B></U></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-US">Doug Gaff presented on behalf of Martin
Oberhuber, the chair of the Architecture Council.&nbsp; The related

whom are quite active.&nbsp; Doug indicated that the Architecture
Council would like to see greater involvement from the PMCs.&nbsp;
Mike Milinkovich asked all in attendance to consider re-engaging with
the Architecture Council.&nbsp;&nbsp; </SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-US">Doug Gaff indicated that the Architecture
Council was interested in seeing the Board provide some assistance in
the form of resources to help bridge the gap between what the
Projects are currently producing and what the adopter and user
communities were expecting.&nbsp; Referring to Article I of the
<A HREF="http://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/Eclipse%20BYLAWS%202008_07_24%20Final.pdf">Eclipse
Foundation Bylaws</A>, the Board indicated that while they recognize

role to solve.&nbsp; </SPAN>

Foundation&rsquo;s current position on the LGPL was causing some

<P LANG="en-US"><U><B>Roadmap Discussion</B></U></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike Milinkovich introduced a discussion of the
Roadmap.&nbsp; Mike indicated that he wishes to have the discussion
from two perspectives.&nbsp; First, what if any changes did the Board
wish to recommend to the Roadmap.&nbsp; Second, while the creation of
the Roadmap is required by our Bylaws and resource consuming to
produce, use of the Roadmap was low.&nbsp; Following discussion, the
following resolutions were unanimously approved:</SPAN></P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 1.27cm"><SPAN LANG="en-US"><B>RESOLVED</B></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-US">,

<P><SPAN LANG="en-US">Following the Strategic Member Reports, Mike
Milinkovich noted that there had been a number of Strategic Members
that had indicated that they were not meeting their resource
commitments to the Eclipse Foundation.&nbsp; Mike asked the Board if
there should be repercussions for those Members, such as for example,
declaring that member not in &ldquo;good standing&rdquo; and
therefore ineligible to vote. After much discussion, no consensus was
reached on the topic.</SPAN></P>
<P LANG="en-US"><U><B>E4</B></U></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-US">Rich Gronback initiated a further discussion of
E4, indicating that he is concerned about the project given there are
only three Strategic Members doing anything with E4.&nbsp;&nbsp;
There was recognition by the Board that there was a need to get more
individuals involved in E4.&nbsp; Mike Milinkovich suggested an
approach whereby Strategic Members would have the option of
allocating up to two of their committed resources to &ldquo;common
good&rdquo; projects and that these resources would each count for 2
committed resources.&nbsp; There was general consensus that this was
a proposal that was worthy of further consideration.&nbsp; When posed
with the question as to who would decide what these resources would
work on, Mike Milinkovich proposed that it be the Strategic Advisory
Committee which is a combination of the Planning Council,
Architecture Council and Requirements Council would come up with the
ideas of what the group could work on, but that it be the individuals
that are committing resources that ultimately be the decision makers.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-US">Tracey Ragan asked if we are now in the process
of changing the basic culture &ndash; where IBM provided the platform
and everyone else came and built an ecosystem to a broader based
platform participation model?&nbsp; Mike Milinkovich indicated that
yes, IBM has said quite clearly that they are no longer willing to
support the platform on their own and that there is not a consensus
in IBM regarding E4.&nbsp;&nbsp; In trying to understand why there
was a lack of participation, Board Members were polled to better
understand each Board Member&rsquo;s rationale.&nbsp; Based on the
discussion there was recognition that further education was needed so
that Board Members could better understand the benefits of
participation in E4.&nbsp; Mike Milinkovich indicated that the
Foundation would organize a webinar to facilitate awareness.</SPAN></P>

Milinkovich declared the meeting adjourned at approximately 3:00
