<P><SPAN LANG="en-US">John Kellerman introduced a discussion
regarding IBM&rsquo;s request that the Board approve the dual
licensing of the Paho Project in its entirety under the <A HREF="/org/documents/epl-v10.php">Eclipse
Public License</A> (EPL) and <A HREF="/org/documents/edl-v10.php">Eclipse
Development License</A> (a BSD style license).&nbsp; John further
indicated that the MQTT client code would need to be re-licensed as
it was currently licensed under the EPL only.&nbsp; The Board
unanimously passed the following resolution:</SPAN></P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 1.27cm">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<SPAN LANG="en-US"><B>RESOLVED,</B></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-US"> the
Board unanimously approves the dual licensing of the Paho Project
under the <A HREF="/org/documents/epl-v10.php">Eclipse
Public License</A> (EPL) and <A HREF="/org/documents/edl-v10.php">Eclipse

<P><SPAN LANG="en-US">None identified.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-US"><U>Committer Member Issues</U></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-US">John Arthorne introduced a discussion on
Committer issues, focusing initially on the transition to Git.&nbsp;
&nbsp;John highlighted the fact that many Project are moving to Git
and identified a concern that Git makes it very easy to delete or
re-rewrite the history of your source code, even by accident.&nbsp;
This in turn makes it very difficult for people that want to do
updates on a historic version of the code.&nbsp; John asked whether
the Board thought that the Eclipse Foundation should leave this up to
the individual committers to take action to ensure that the source
code history is safe, or whether it was something that the EMO should
take control of the issue?&nbsp; </SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-US">Chris Aniszczyk indicated that he believed that
the default should be that you cannot change history, and that change
should not be permitted unless an intellectual property issue arose,
for example.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Paul Lipton added that the value of
Eclipse&rsquo;s intellectual property is diminished if we leave holes
open that enable history to be changed.&nbsp;&nbsp; Dennis Leung
indicated his support to make it difficult to make changes to the Git
repository and suggested that any individual wanting to make a change
should have to apply for the ability.&nbsp; Paul Lipton added that
that the clarity of the intellectual property is a primary value
proposition at Eclipse, and because of this if there was an exception
granted, then there would need to be a record of that exception.&nbsp;
Mike Milinkovich indicated that his recollection was that the only
time that the Eclipse Foundation has changed history is if an
intellectual property issue had been found.&nbsp; It was the
consensus of the Board that the EMO should prevent re-writing of
history in the Eclipse Foundation&rsquo;s git repositories unless
express permission was sought, such permissions to be considered on a
case by case basis.&nbsp; &nbsp;</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-US">John Arthorne also highlighted that there are
private branches on Git where it would be useful to allow people to
re-write history in their own branches.&nbsp; Mike Milinkovich
suggested that defaults are set such that history can&rsquo;t be
changed in the main branches, with some flexibility to be allowed in
private branches.&nbsp; He suggested that the Committer
Representatives work with the EMO to create the defaults to
accomplish this goal.&nbsp; Chris Aniszczyk also suggested that an
audit be conducted on the Projects to ensure that the defaults are
property set.&nbsp; Mike agreed, indicating that he would ask the
webmaster to run some scripts to check that Projects are implementing
the necessary defaults.&nbsp; Paul Lipton asked whether we have a
situation today where some existing Projects on Git may have altered,
either intentionally or unintentionally, their history?&nbsp; Mike
Milinkovich responded that it was possible.&nbsp; John Arthorne added
that within CVS it could have happened as well with some effort, but
there would be no record.&nbsp; With Git, it could have happened, but
we would know.&nbsp; The Board passed the following resolution
unanimously:</SPAN></P>
<P STYLE="margin-left: 1.27cm; text-indent: 1.27cm"><B>RESOLVED</B>,
that the Board directs the EMO to ensure that the history of the
Foundation&rsquo;s source repositories cannot be changed in &ldquo;main
branches&rdquo;, with flexibility in private branches.&nbsp; Any
exceptions would have to be requested by a PMC to the EMO.&nbsp; A
&ldquo;main branch&rdquo; is defined as any branch from which
releases are built.&nbsp; Any exceptions would have to be requested
by a PMC to the EMO.</P>
<P>Ed Merks highlighted that IT outages on weekends were an issue.&nbsp;
Ed asked if it was possible to empower someone in Europe to help.&nbsp;
Mike Milinkovich responded that the Foundation has wanted for many
years to have more staff in Europe, but that limited funds have
prevented the Foundation from doing so.&nbsp; He added that the EMO
is actively looking at alternatives.&nbsp; &nbsp;John Arthorne
suggested looking at what the Apache Software Foundation is doing.&nbsp;
Mike Milinkovich suggested opening a bug on the subject and copying
him on it.&nbsp; &nbsp;John Arthorne indicated that a committer that
had suggested that not only Strategic Members should be able to
access Webmaster 24 hours a day.&nbsp; There was a general consensus
that this was not reasonable.&nbsp; Mike Milinkovich noted that few
Strategic Developers have been taking advantage of the existing
program, and indicated that some work needed to be done to get the
existing process working better.&nbsp; He also added that the
Foundation would consider starting to talk about whether it opens the
&ldquo;circle of trust&rdquo; to some non-Foundation employees in
different time zones.&nbsp;
</P>
<P STYLE="page-break-after: avoid"><U>Oracle/Sun TCK Agreement</U></P>
<P STYLE="page-break-after: avoid"><SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike
Milinkovich indicated that the time had come to decide whether the
Eclipse Foundation signs the Agreement.&nbsp; John Kellerman provided
an overview of IBM&rsquo;s concerns related to the Agreement.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Janet Campbell noted that the Eclipse Foundation&rsquo;s counsel and
external counsel do not believe that the Agreement conflicts with the
<A HREF="/org/documents/epl-v10.php">Eclipse Public
License</A> (EPL).&nbsp; Dennis Leung pointed out that the terms of
the Agreement before the Board are the same terms that others in the
ecosystem have been given, including commercial entities.&nbsp; John
Kellerman asked what level of vote was required.&nbsp; Janet Campbell
responded that a majority vote was needed.&nbsp; </SPAN>
</P>
<P STYLE="page-break-after: avoid"><SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike
Milinkovich commented that finalizing the Agreement before the Board
was done as a service to some Projects to allow them to certify to
the TCK and that the Eclipse Foundation did not have a strong
perspective on executing the Agreement.&nbsp; Mike added that the
Board should consider what level of review and approval should be
required to allow additional projects to use the TCKs and proposed
that a super majority vote be required.&nbsp; Such a vote would be
triggered at the request of the PMC of the Project.&nbsp; Ed Merks
questioned whether the Board wanted to review this type of decision
on a case by case basis.&nbsp; Paul Lipton questioned what the
implications would be on the user.&nbsp; Mike responded that for some
users, this would be considered a good thing in that they would get a
compliant application.&nbsp; Mike added that for an application
server such as Virgo, having a compliant solution would help them.&nbsp;
&nbsp;</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-US"><U>Enterprise Bundle Repository</U></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-US">John Kellerman provided an overview of an IBM
proposal to host OSGi bundles at Eclipse in support of the OSGi
ecosystem, the related slides for which are attached as <a href="2012_06_exhibits/ExhibitE.pdf">Exhibit E</a>.&nbsp;
John indicated that IBM is now proposing to have Eclipse Marketplace
point to templates, and that the existing bundles would continue to
exist where they exist.&nbsp; Paul Lipton asked why the change.&nbsp;
John responded that IBM was concerned about distributing non-IP
cleared material from Eclipse.&nbsp; He also said that it would
relieve space and bandwidth concerns.&nbsp; The builds would happen
on individual&rsquo;s machine.&nbsp; Paul Lipton asked if it would be
clear to individuals downloading that they are not getting the
material from Eclipse.&nbsp; John Kellerman and Pat Huff indicated
that it is not currently as clear as it could be that the material
originating from Eclipse Marketplace has not been IP cleared.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Paul Lipton indicated that he agreed.&nbsp;&nbsp; John concluded by
indicating that he did not believe that there was anything related to
the proposal that the Board was required to vote on.&nbsp; </SPAN>

<P><SPAN LANG="en-US"><U>Management Reports</U></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-US">Chris Larocque provided an update on the
Eclipse Foundation&rsquo;s operations and finances.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Mike
Milinkovich provided an update on EclipseCon 2013, the related slides

would be held at the Seaport Hotel and Trade Centre in Boston, MA
March 25-28, 2012.&nbsp; Dennis Leung asked what the feedback was on
having the event on the east coast.&nbsp; &nbsp;Mike Milinkovich
responded that the feedback was generally positive.&nbsp; Dennis
asked what the other candidates were.&nbsp; Mike responded that they
included Miami, Philadelphia, and Atlanta, adding that the Seaport
offered great rates.&nbsp; </SPAN>

<P><SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike added that the semi-annual training series
is gearing up, and that the Eclipse Foundation is getting ready for
the Juno launch.&nbsp; </SPAN>

Foundation runs the survey itself using survey monkey every year and
gets great press related to the survey.&nbsp;
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike Milinkovich provided an overview of the
Eclipse Foundation Membership and Key Performance Indicators.&nbsp;
Mike highlighted the fact that the number of Projects using Git at
Eclipse has now surpassed 50%.&nbsp; Ed Merks expressed a concern
that Git tooling was still very poor.</SPAN></P>

the Eclipse Platform and Webtools will have moved over to the CBI.&nbsp;&nbsp;
</SPAN>

<P STYLE="page-break-after: avoid"><SPAN LANG="en-US">John Arthorne
indicated that the Eclipse Platform was having difficulty getting
their release out this year because they are having difficulty
testing, primarily on Windows and Mac where the hardware isn&rsquo;t
to the level that the Linux boxes are.&nbsp; Mike Milinkovich
responded that he had no idea that the issue existed and commented
that if the Eclipse Foundation could solve this issue by buying a
faster Windows box, then the Foundation should pursue that solution.&nbsp;
Mike further asked that if there was a bug on the issue to please
copy him on it.&nbsp; </SPAN>

final case, there were quite a few existing assets looking for a new
home with a lot of companies and organizations already involved.&nbsp;
Mike added that the existing organization was dissolving and that
provided a resulting opportunity for the Eclipse Foundation.&nbsp;

event.&nbsp; Mike added that the TCK terms before the Board are the
terms that govern the entire Java ecosystem.&nbsp; Dennis Leung added
that he believed it has always worked this way and that while Oracle
was flexible on the term of the Agreement, the remaining terms are
the same for everyone.&nbsp; Paul Lipton commented that there was
risk, as there always was, but that it appeared to him to be quite
small.&nbsp; Paul added that it appeared to be significant value and
small but non-zero risk.&nbsp; Steve Winkler added that approval
would be on a case by case basis and so risk was limited from that
standpoint as well.&nbsp; </SPAN>
