| hoped that Eclipse Labs would give a good path for projects to |
| migrate from Eclipse Labs to the Foundation. He noted that |
| there are already sites that will host and store your project for |
| free. For Eclipse Labs to be useful, it needs to make the |
| transition from Eclipse Labs to the Foundation as easy as possible. |
| Another Board member echoed Shawn’s sentiments indicating that |
| there should be a process that requires such things as a contributor |
| agreement. A Board member indicated that the Foundation should |
| consider requiring the use of the EPL. A Board member |
| indicated that there needed to be a clear distinction between “safe” |
| code from eclipse.org and code that has not been reviewed. |
| A Board member asked if we would be permitting GPL licensed code on |
| Eclipse Labs. Mike Milinkovich indicated that we would not be. |
| Mike asked Board Members to let him know of any Projects that might |
| be interested in being the first tenants for Eclipse Labs.</SPAN></P> |

| to up sell the company on a higher level of Membership.</SPAN></P> |

| <SPAN LANG="en-US">Boris Bokowski spoke on behalf of the Committer |
| Representatives indicating that the recent problem with CVS had |
| slowed everyone down. Boris said he believed that the problem |
| was largely fixed now, but hoped that there would be continued |
| improvement in that area. Boris further indicated that he |
| thought there was a need at the Eclipse Foundation for better and |
| more hardware for things like the file servers. Boris asked |
| fellow Board Members to see if there was the possibility of donating |
| hardware to Eclipse. Shawn Pearce indicated that Google had |
| recently donated $20K to the Eclipse Foundation to buy hardware to |
| support Git and that hopefully that would free up some existing |
| hardware. Mike Milinkovich thanked Google for their |
| contribution and further indicated that if companies are not in a |
| position to donate hardware, the Foundation could accept cash |
| donations. Chris Aniszczyk expressed concern that the |
| Eclipse Foundation does not currently have a full time evangelist. |
| Mike Milinkovich indicated that it is correct that the Eclipse |
| Foundation does not have a full time evangelist and that there was no |
| plan to change that in the coming budgetary year. Mike further |
| indicated that members of the Project leadership are the best |
| evangelists. Ed Merks concurred that he felt that this was the |
| Project’s responsibility. Ed Merks further indicated that |
| he thought that Committers are generally pretty happy and that the IP |
| process improvements have made a big difference – IP just isn’t |
| on the radar as an issue. </SPAN> |

| <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm"><SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike Milinkovich |
| introduced a discussion of the possible long term support of Eclipse |
| Project releases. Following the discussion, it was agreed that |
| a Board Working Group should be created to discuss a strategy for the |
| long term support of Eclipse releases and the possibility of a |
| related service offering by the Eclipse Foundation.</SPAN></P> |

| <P><SPAN LANG="en-US"><U><B>Executive Director Review</B></U></SPAN></P> |
| <P> |
| <SPAN LANG="en-US">The Board met with Mike Milinkovich absent to |
| discuss the Executive Director’s review. In so doing, the |
| Board together drafted an email to Mike which the Board proposed be |
| considered Mike’s performance review. The following |
| resolution was passed.</SPAN></P> |
| <P STYLE="margin-left: 1.27cm"> |
| <SPAN LANG="en-US"><B>RESOLVED</B></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-US">, that |
| there was unanimous consent that the email drafted by the Board and |
| sent to Mike Milinkovich dated December 10, 2009 be considered his |
| performance review.</SPAN></P> |
| <P> |
| <SPAN LANG="en-US">In discussing the review, there was general |
| agreement that the KPIs be presented quarterly rather than monthly. |
| A Board member indicated that the Board would like Mike to interpret |
| the KPIs for the Board and give the Board his thoughts on what they |
| mean both for the long term and the short term. Another |
| Board member added that there was a sense on the Board that “business |
| as usual” was no longer going to be effective and that the |
| Board would like to see Mike consider disruptive solutions to ensure |
| the ongoing success of the Eclipse Foundation.</SPAN></P> |
| <P><B><SPAN LANG="en-US"><U>EclipseCon 2010 Update</U></SPAN></B></P> |
| <P> |
| <SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike Milinkovich presented an update on EclipseCon |
| 2010, the related presentation material for which is attached as |
| <a href="2009_12_exhibits/ExhibitM.pdf">Exhibit M</a>. In general, planning for the conference was well in |
| hand. Mike further added a request to all Board Members to send |
| people where possible.</SPAN></P> |
| <P><U><SPAN LANG="en-US"><B>Roadmap Update</B></SPAN></U></P> |
| <P> |
| <SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike Milinkovich <a href="2009_12_exhibits/Exhibit.pdf">indicated</a> that the last Roadmap |
| had been approved in December 2008. Mike indicated that the |
| Foundation was planning on having the next roadmap approved at the |
| March 2010 Board meeting. The intention is to have the Roadmap |
| be more relevant by having it focus on the release train. Mike |
| further indicated that December 18, 2009 is the deadline for Projects |
| to declare their Release Train intentions. Mike indicated that |
| the Foundation would like to propose a change in how the Roadmap is |
| used. The thought is to have the Requirements Council decide |
| what goes into the Release Train. The good news is that is a |
| meaningful role for the Requirements Council. The bad news is |
| that the Requirements Council in its current form doesn’t have |
| the right people on the Council for this proposed new role. If |
| we are to proceed down this path, it will force a re-boot of the |
| Requirements Council. A Board member asked who was on the |
| Requirements Council. Mike indicated that every strategic |
| member has a representative plus anyone appointed by the Executive |
| Director. Another Board member commented that the proposal does |
| drive Membership value which is important to the Board. A Board |
| member indicated that he thought that it would be beneficial to have |
| Committers represented on the Requirements Council. |
| Another Board member indicated that he thought it would make sense to |
| have the Requirements Council mirror the composition of the Board. |
| There was some additional discussion of the Requirements Council |
| working with the intellectual property (IP) team to factor a |
| Project’s IP review requirements into the selection process. |
| Mike indicated that the Foundation would write up a document to |
| socialize with the community and bring it back to the Board for |
| consideration in March 2010 to define the process. Mike |
| indicated that the process would ensure that representatives of the |
| committer community would be included in the Requirements Council to |
| ensure that the project’s perspective was represented. |
| Mike further indicated that it would be a transparent process.</SPAN></P> |

| <P> |
| <SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike Milinkovich introduced a proposed change to |
| Exhibit C of the Membership to allow for another tier of dues for |
| very small companies in the Solutions Member category. There |
| was general agreement that the cap for company size for this new tier |
| should be 10 employees or contractors and that there need be no limit |
| on the duration for which a company could participate at that tier of |
| Membership dues. </SPAN> |

| Review and Approval</U></SPAN></B></P> |
| <P STYLE="page-break-after: avoid"> |
| <SPAN LANG="en-US">Chris Larocque provided an overview of the |
| budget. Mike Milinkovich introduced a discussion of the costs |
| associated with the IP process at Eclipse. Mike Milinkovich in |
| summarizing the conversation indicated that he believed the Board |
| felt the Eclipse Foundation should do more to market the value of the |
| IP process at Eclipse as a clear differentiator for Eclipse in open |
| source communities. </SPAN> |
| </P> |
| <P><U><SPAN LANG="en-US"><B>General Discussion</B></SPAN></U></P> |
| <P> |
| <SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike Milinkovich indicated that he had a couple of |
| topics that we wanted the Board’s feedback on. Firstly, |
| Mike asked the Board what it thought of the Executive Director of the |
| Eclipse Foundation being on the CodePlex Foundation’s Board of |
| Advisors. The general consensus of the Board is that this |
| possibility should not be pursued. However, the Board requested that |
| a representative of the CodePlex Foundation be invited to present to |
| the Eclipse Board at the March 2010 meeting.</SPAN></P> |
| <P> |
| <SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike Milinkovich advised the Board that the Device |
| Software Development Platform (DSDP) is no longer functioning |
| effectively as an Eclipse Top Level Project. Mike indicated |
| that his intent was to wind up the top level project, move the active |
| parts elsewhere and archive the projects which are no longer active.</SPAN></P> |
| <P> |
| <SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike Milinkovich indicated that he was starting to |
| see interest in bringing projects to Eclipse that don’t fit the |
| traditional Eclipse scope. For example, there is a desire to |
| bring an OSGi project for SCALA to Eclipse. Mike said that |
| while it was his decision to make, he wanted the Board’s |
| feedback. Mike further indicated that he was inclined to accept |
| the project proposal because while the range of languages commonly |
| used for development has expanded significantly in recent years. |
| Accepting a project like SCALA would be important as: (1) |
| Eclipse must stay current/relevant to its core developers; (2) |
| Eclipse needs to be seen as innovative and open to new ideas. |
| Mike noted that there is also a company that would like to bring a |
| project to Eclipse that is essentially an industry model expressed in |
| UML. A Board member indicated that this was a subject |
| worthy of additional discussion.</SPAN></P> |
| <P> |
| <SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike Milinkovich asked if there were any other |
| topics that Board members would like to raise. A Board member asked |
| whether Mike wished to discuss the Java Development Tools Project |
| (JDT) and their dwindling resources. Mike commented that for |
| many people the JDT Project is Eclipse. It is a very mature |
| Project and the level of investment in the Project has been |
| declining. While there are features that the community would |
| like to see added to JDT, very little is happening. Mike |
| indicated that he had a proposal for a project that would involve a |
| community lead taking JDT and doing interesting things like it much |
| the same as the approach taken with e4 but that those discussions |
| were still in the early stages. </SPAN> |

| <P><SPAN LANG="en-US"><B><U>Executive Director Succession Planning</U></B></SPAN></P> |
| <P> |
| <SPAN LANG="en-US">Chris Larocque presented a succession plan |
| template. A Board member indicated that he would like to see |
| more details on the proposal and suggested that perhaps it be |
| discussed in greater detail at the next Board meeting.</SPAN></P> |
