 minutes for the Board meetings of June 19, 2012, a copy of which is

 passed the following resolution unanimously:</SPAN></P>

 are approved.</SPAN></P>
 <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
 <SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike Milinkovich indicated to the Board that the
 Test and Performance Tools Platform Top Level Charter needed to be
 revoked. In late 2010, the Test and Performance Tools Platform (TPTP)
 PMC decided to terminate and archive the top-level project and all
 subprojects following the Helios SR-2 release in February 2011. At
 that time, another party (verit) stepped forward to take over the
 project, the termination was withdrawn, and the project membership
 (including PMC) was replaced. In the time since, the subprojects
 under the TPTP top-level project have continued to operate as regular
 Eclipse projects, but TPTP itself is no longer operating as a viable
 top-level project. </SPAN>
 </P>
 <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm"><SPAN LANG="en-US">The EMO will
 collapse the existing TPTP subprojects into a single project, move it
 to the Tools top-level project, and requests that the board revoke
 the TPTP project's charter.</SPAN></P>
 <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm"><SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike Milinkovich
 asked if there were any questions or comments associated with moving
 forward with that action.&nbsp; There being no comments or questions,
 the Board passed the following resolution unanimously:</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
 Test and Performance Tools Platform (TPTP) Project's charter is
 revoked.</SPAN></P>
 <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
 <SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike Milinkovich introduced a discussion of the
 Polarsys and LocationTech Top Level Project (TLP) Charters attached
 hereto as <a href="2012_09_Exhibits/ExhibitC.pdf">Exhibit C</a> and <a href="2012_09_Exhibits/ExhibitD.pdf">D</a> respectively.&nbsp;&nbsp; Mike indicated
 that both were required to tie the project activities of those
 Industry Working Groups to the Eclipse Development Process and
 Eclipse IP Process.&nbsp; John Arthorne asked if the Polarsys Project
 would use LGPL code, and whether that was something that Eclipse had
 done before.&nbsp; Mike indicated that yes that was the case, but
 that that portion of the initiative had been approved in a previous
 Board meeting.&nbsp; Mike added that the Board had already approved
 both of the IWGs in question and that in both cases the IWGs had
 licensing flexibility approved by the Board.&nbsp; </SPAN>
 </P>
 <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm"><SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike noted that in
 both cases the new top-level projects would also be on separate
 forges, and governed by both the Eclipse Development Process and the
 Eclipse IP Process.&nbsp; &nbsp;As soon as the LocationTech TLP was
 approved there will be a proposal to move uDig to Eclipse but that
 cannot occur until the LocationTech PMC is ready to go.&nbsp; Jochen
 Krause asked how people would find these projects on the eclipse.org
 website.&nbsp; Mike responded that was not yet decided, but that at
 the moment he was leaning towards not having them listed as an
 Eclipse project, because they would be operating under a separate
 forge.&nbsp;&nbsp; </SPAN>

 <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
 <SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike Milinkovich introduced a discussion of the
 results of the electronic vote on approving the Java TCK Agreement
 with Oracle.&nbsp; Mike confirmed that the vote did not pass.&nbsp; </SPAN>
 </P>
 <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm"><SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike added that if
 a Strategic Member requested a TCK, a second vote would be called.&nbsp;
 </SPAN>
 </P>
 <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm"><SPAN LANG="en-US">Dennis Leung as for
 a clarification on the voting process, indicating that he thought
 only a majority of those that voted would be required.&nbsp; Mike
 Milinkovich indicated that he had thought Dennis&rsquo;
 interpretation applied as well, but that both Janet Campbell and
 External Counsel have said that a majority of the total votes cast
 were required.&nbsp; Dennis Leung suggested that in light of that
 misunderstanding that the vote be re-run perhaps at the next face to
 face.&nbsp;&nbsp; Mike responded that we would revisit this topic
 shortly on either the October phone call or at the October face to
 face meeting.&nbsp;&nbsp; </SPAN>
 </P>
 <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm"><SPAN LANG="en-US">Etienne Juliot
 asked if Mike intended to make any public comment on the topic.&nbsp;
 Mike replied that he did not.&nbsp;&nbsp; Etienne asked if Apache had
 a TCK license with Oracle.&nbsp; Mike confirmed that they do and that
 a number of Projects at Apache run TCKs within the context of
 Apache.&nbsp; </SPAN>

 <P><SPAN LANG="en-US"><U><B>Juno 4.2 Performance Issues</B></U></SPAN></P>
 <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
 <SPAN LANG="en-US">Mik Kersten introduced a discussion of community
 concerns around Eclipse Juno and 4.2 performance.&nbsp; Mik indicated
 that when he reviewed the bugs, blogs and Architecture Council
 minutes, he thought the first thing that needed to be decided was
 whether there was a problem that effects Eclipse as a whole.&nbsp;
 Mik added that internally at Tasktop, they would not be switching to
 4.2 and asked others on the Board what their plans were.&nbsp; Pat
 Huff indicated that IBM was intending to switch and Paul Clenahan
 added that Actuate intended to do the same.&nbsp; Mike Milinkovich
 commented that in looking at the bug and the list of dependencies,
 there are five or six known issues that the Project is working on.&nbsp;
 Mike added that the Foundation does believe that 4.2 is useable, and
 added that there are many people using it every day.&nbsp; Mike
 commented that there are some scenarios where people are having
 difficulty and the Project is working through those as best they
 can.&nbsp; Pat Huff added that bugs needed to be raised for specific
 problems that the project can work on.&nbsp;&nbsp; </SPAN>
 </P>
 <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm"><SPAN LANG="en-US">Mik further asked
 whether people should wait for the Kepler simultaneous release to
 come.&nbsp; Mike Milinkovich commented that it was not the Board&rsquo;s
 decision to move the simultaneous release to Eclipse 4, but rather
 the Eclipse PMC and the Planning Council.&nbsp; Mik responded that
 making Eclipse 4 a success was identified as a priority by the
 Board.&nbsp;&nbsp; Pat Huff commented that IBM was committed to 4.x,
 and that the 3.x stream has no future.&nbsp; </SPAN>
 </P>
 <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm"><SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike asked Pat Huff
 and John Arthorne whether they had any insight into whether there
 would be any focus on performance enhancements in the SR2 timeframe.&nbsp;
 John Arthorne responded that performance was certainly a focus, but
 that the Eclipse project team was much smaller than they were for 3.0
 when it shipped in 2004.&nbsp; John added that the team would fix
 problems as best they could but that the rate would not be as fast as
 it had been in the past.&nbsp; Mik Kersten commented that if the rate
 was too slow, Eclipse stands to see some erosion in the value of
 Eclipse because of how strongly it was being promoted.&nbsp; Mik
 added that Eclipse was hiding 3.x and doing what could be done to
 move the ecosystem to 4.x before it had hardened and that approach
 presented a risk.&nbsp;&nbsp; John Arthorne added that keeping the
 3.8 stream alive didn&rsquo;t help Eclipse either.&nbsp; Mike
 Milinkovich commented that the Eclipse Platform team is relatively
 small and that they are not going to do a 3.9, so there was no other
 path forward.&nbsp; Pat Huff indicated that the Eclipse Platform team
 is looking for as much help from the community as they could.&nbsp;
 Pat added that letting the team know exactly where the problems are
 was one way to help.&nbsp; Mike Milinkovich commented that anyone who
 can provide a repeatable test case is extremely helpful.&nbsp; Mike
 added that if you looked on the bug where these performance issues
 were being discussed, there are a few cases that has happened, and it
 has really helped focus efforts. </SPAN>
 </P>
 <P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm"><SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike Milinkovich
 commented that one of the difficulties is that performance tests are
 not currently being run.&nbsp; Mike added that the Eclipse Foundation
 staff is doing what it can to get those tests re-established and run
 on Eclipse.org hardware, highlighting that Google had donated $20K to
 buy hardware.&nbsp; Mike indicated that the Foundation was still
 waiting on information from the Platform Team on what to buy.&nbsp;&nbsp;
 Mike further commented that the crisis would focus people&rsquo;s
 attention on the resource constraints of the Platform Team.&nbsp;
 Achim Loerke indicated that his company has decided to hire someone
 but that they were having difficulty finding someone.&nbsp; Mike
 Milinkovich offered to help.&nbsp;&nbsp; Mike thanked Mike for
 leading the discussion surrounding 4.x.<BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
 Mike Milinkovich declared the meeting adjourned. </SPAN>

	<SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike Milinkovich indicated to the Board that the
	Test and Performance Tools Platform Top Level Charter needed to be
	revoked. In late 2010, the Test and Performance Tools Platform (TPTP)
	PMC decided to terminate and archive the top-level project and all
	subprojects following the Helios SR-2 release in February 2011. At
	that time, another party (verit) stepped forward to take over the
	project, the termination was withdrawn, and the project membership
	(including PMC) was replaced. In the time since, the subprojects
	under the TPTP top-level project have continued to operate as regular
	Eclipse projects, but TPTP itself is no longer operating as a viable
	top-level project. </SPAN>

	<P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm"><SPAN LANG="en-US">The EMO will
	collapse the existing TPTP subprojects into a single project, move it

	<P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm"><SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike Milinkovich
	asked if there were any questions or comments associated with moving
	forward with that action.  There being no comments or questions,

	<SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike Milinkovich introduced a discussion of the
	Polarsys and LocationTech Top Level Project (TLP) Charters attached
	hereto as <a href="2012_09_Exhibits/ExhibitC.pdf">Exhibit C</a> and <a href="2012_09_Exhibits/ExhibitD.pdf">D</a> respectively.   Mike indicated
	that both were required to tie the project activities of those
	Industry Working Groups to the Eclipse Development Process and
	Eclipse IP Process.  John Arthorne asked if the Polarsys Project
	would use LGPL code, and whether that was something that Eclipse had
	done before.  Mike indicated that yes that was the case, but
	that that portion of the initiative had been approved in a previous
	Board meeting.  Mike added that the Board had already approved
	both of the IWGs in question and that in both cases the IWGs had
	licensing flexibility approved by the Board.  </SPAN>
	</P>
	<P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm"><SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike noted that in
	both cases the new top-level projects would also be on separate
	forges, and governed by both the Eclipse Development Process and the
	Eclipse IP Process.   As soon as the LocationTech TLP was
	approved there will be a proposal to move uDig to Eclipse but that
	cannot occur until the LocationTech PMC is ready to go.  Jochen
	Krause asked how people would find these projects on the eclipse.org
	website.  Mike responded that was not yet decided, but that at
	the moment he was leaning towards not having them listed as an
	Eclipse project, because they would be operating under a separate
	forge.   </SPAN>

	Milinkovich indicated that he had thought Dennis’

	External Counsel have said that a majority of the total votes cast
	were required.  Dennis Leung suggested that in light of that
	misunderstanding that the vote be re-run perhaps at the next face to

	<P>
	<SPAN LANG="en-US">Mik Kersten introduced a discussion of community
	concerns around Eclipse Juno and 4.2 performance.  Mik indicated
	that when he reviewed the bugs, blogs and Architecture Council
	minutes, he thought the first thing that needed to be decided was
	whether there was a problem that effects Eclipse as a whole.
	Mik added that internally at Tasktop, they would not be switching to
	4.2 and asked others on the Board what their plans were.  Pat
	Huff indicated that IBM was intending to switch and Paul Clenahan
	added that Actuate intended to do the same.  Mike Milinkovich
	commented that in looking at the bug and the list of dependencies,
	there are five or six known issues that the Project is working on.
	Mike added that the Foundation does believe that 4.2 is useable, and
	added that there are many people using it every day.  Mike
	commented that there are some scenarios where people are having
	difficulty and the Project is working through those as best they
	can.  Pat Huff added that bugs needed to be raised for specific
	problems that the project can work on.   </SPAN>
	</P>
	<P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm"><SPAN LANG="en-US">Mik further asked
	whether people should wait for the Kepler simultaneous release to
	come.  Mike Milinkovich commented that it was not the Board’s
	decision to move the simultaneous release to Eclipse 4, but rather
	the Eclipse PMC and the Planning Council.  Mik responded that
	making Eclipse 4 a success was identified as a priority by the
	Board.   Pat Huff commented that IBM was committed to 4.x,
	and that the 3.x stream has no future.  </SPAN>
	</P>
	<P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm"><SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike asked Pat Huff
	and John Arthorne whether they had any insight into whether there
	would be any focus on performance enhancements in the SR2 timeframe.
	John Arthorne responded that performance was certainly a focus, but
	that the Eclipse project team was much smaller than they were for 3.0
	when it shipped in 2004.  John added that the team would fix
	problems as best they could but that the rate would not be as fast as
	it had been in the past.  Mik Kersten commented that if the rate
	was too slow, Eclipse stands to see some erosion in the value of
	Eclipse because of how strongly it was being promoted.  Mik
	added that Eclipse was hiding 3.x and doing what could be done to
	move the ecosystem to 4.x before it had hardened and that approach
	presented a risk.   John Arthorne added that keeping the
	3.8 stream alive didn’t help Eclipse either.  Mike
	Milinkovich commented that the Eclipse Platform team is relatively
	small and that they are not going to do a 3.9, so there was no other
	path forward.  Pat Huff indicated that the Eclipse Platform team
	is looking for as much help from the community as they could.
	Pat added that letting the team know exactly where the problems are
	was one way to help.  Mike Milinkovich commented that anyone who
	can provide a repeatable test case is extremely helpful.  Mike
	added that if you looked on the bug where these performance issues
	were being discussed, there are a few cases that has happened, and it
	has really helped focus efforts. </SPAN>
	</P>
	<P STYLE="text-indent: 1.27cm"><SPAN LANG="en-US">Mike Milinkovich
	commented that one of the difficulties is that performance tests are
	not currently being run.  Mike added that the Eclipse Foundation
	staff is doing what it can to get those tests re-established and run
	on Eclipse.org hardware, highlighting that Google had donated $20K to
	buy hardware.  Mike indicated that the Foundation was still
	waiting on information from the Platform Team on what to buy.
	Mike further commented that the crisis would focus people’s
	attention on the resource constraints of the Platform Team.
	Achim Loerke indicated that his company has decided to hire someone
	but that they were having difficulty finding someone.  Mike
	Milinkovich offered to help.   Mike thanked Mike for
	leading the discussion surrounding 4.x.<BR><BR>
