| <h2>Minutes / Discussion Items</h2> |
| <p><i> (these notes are in logical rather than |
| chronological order)</i></p> |
| <h3>Public Mailing List Archives</h3> |
| <p>The Architecture Council agrees that the eclipse.org-architecture-council@eclipse.org |
| mailing list should be archived and the archives open to the public. </p> |
| <p><font color="#800080"><u><b>ACTION</b></u></font>: [Bjorn FB] make it so</p> |
| <h3>New Mentor Role for Architecture Council</h3> |
| <p>After extensive discussion, the group concluded that they did not see |
| mentoring new projects as a role for the Architecture Council. The primary |
| objection related to the fact that most mentoring seemed to be around |
| development process and this is the Architecture Council. The group agreed that |
| mentoring was a good idea, if only as a way to extend the Technology and Tools |
| PMCs on a temporary assignment basis. Additionally, the members of this council |
| would be (for the most part) happy to serve on a new Mentoring Council.</p> |
| <h3>Role of the Architecture Council</h3> |
| <p>There was a rather lengthy discussion of what the role of the Architecture |
| Council should be. Bjorn pointed out that the Council was been rather |
| ineffective. Someone brought up that the council needs to have an action focused |
| goal. Tim Wagner and others pointed out that meeting a few times a year for a |
| few hours does not provide sufficient time to discuss and solve real |
| architectural problems.</p> |
| <p><font color="#800080"><u><b>ACTION</b></u></font>: [All] Bring ideas for such |
| goals to the November conference call.</p> |
| <h3>Ask The Architecture Council</h3> |
| <p>Michael Scharf and Wenfeng Li will put together an "Ask The Architecture |
| Council" forum. Perhaps the forum is just the cross-projects-issues-dev@ |
| mailing list and the forum simply needs to be advertised. Irregardless, the idea |
| that there is a forum for Committers to engage in a Q&A with the |
| Architecture Council.</p> |
| <p><font color="#800080"><u><b>ACTION</b></u></font>: [Michael S & Wenfeng |
| L] Establish the forum.</p> |
| <h3>Catalog of Consumable Components</h3> |
| <p>Oisin Hurley and John Graham will start a catalog of consumable components as |
| delivered from the individual projects.</p> |
| <p><font color="#800080"><u><b>ACTION</b></u></font>: [Oisin H & John G] |
| Define the structure of, and begin provisioning, the catalog.</p> |
| <h3>JVM Issue</h3> |
| <p>Each plug-in should specify its execution environment. The Architecture |
| Council is not going to mandate or prohibit individual projects from moving to |
| 1.5 as they see necessary to support their customers. For further discussion, |
| the reader is referred to the <a href="/org/councils/20060628ACMinutes.php">previous |
| council minutes</a>.</p> |
| <p><font color="#800080"><u><b>HELD OVER ACTION</b></u></font>: [Ed Merks, Michael Scharf] |
| draft the initial wiki page describing the implications of changing to |
| 1.5. </p> |
| <h3>Monthly Conference Calls</h3> |
| <p>It was hard to tell what the consensus was. The group agreed to have a call |
| in November for a report on the status of the two initiatives.</p> |
| <p>ACTION: [All] Conference call November 9th, 9am PT, noon ET, 6pm CET. <i> 613.287.8000 |
| or 866.362.7064<br> |
| passcode 874551#</i></p> |
