| <h2>Action Items From Last Week</h2> |
| <p>ACTION ITEM [Bjorn] - Contact Tyler and/or Sri with these decisions - <i>Contacted</i>.</p> |
| <p>ACTION ITEM [Bjorn] - look into an all-in-one zip file solution - <i><a href="http://www.eclipse.org/projects/callisto-files/callisto-download-proposal.php">Proposal |
| circulated</a>.</i></p> |
| <p>ACTION ITEM [Bjorn] - work with the project leads and Janet to schedule a |
| common release review the week of May 21st and to sequence the IP reviews so |
| that they all get done - <i>Review scheduled for May 26th, 8am PT, 11am ET.</i></p> |
| <h2>Discussion of RC1 Status</h2> |
| <p>Everyone seems to be good to go on the RC1. The Platform is making a patch to |
| fix a bug for WTP. Some projects are waiting for the EMF RC1. CDT is going to |
| use the same bits as for RC0 due to some bugs they found in their project. DTP |
| has one bug they are fixing but plan to be done on time. TPTP will have bits by |
| tomorrow or, in the worst case, by Friday. (Sri also clarified last week's email |
| discussion that TPTP will have bits for every Callisto RC.)</p> |
| <h2>Mega Release Review and IP Issues</h2> |
| <p>We scheduled a mega Release Review for all ten Callisto projects for May |
| 26th, 8am PT, 11am ET. We want to try to keep this release review to one hour |
| and thus each project will have a limited opportunity to speak. (Actually, each |
| project can have as many slides as it wants, especially about new features and |
| community development and all, but only a limited time slot (5 minutes?) to |
| present them.) The essential slides will be about new features, IP cleanliness, |
| and community diversity.</p> |
| <p>ACTION ITEM [Bjorn] - prepare a sample slide deck with the essential slides |
| and distribute to the project leads</p> |
| <p>To ensure that all the legal clearances are accomplished for the May 26th |
| Release Review, the Callisto projects must:</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Submit all Contribution Questionnaires by April 25th (via <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/legal/ContributionQuestionnairePart1-v1.0.php">the |
| web form</a>).</li> |
| <li>Submit all IP Logs and About files by May 12th (to <a href="mailto:license@eclipse.org">license@eclipse.org</a>)</li> |
| </ol> |
| <h2>All-In-One Download Proposal</h2> |
| <p>Bjorn wrote up <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/projects/callisto-files/callisto-download-proposal.php">a |
| proposal</a> for Eclipse member companies to solve our Callisto all-in-one |
| download problem. In spite of only a couple hours notice, a few people read it |
| and thought it was a good idea. Everyone else agreed to either read it and |
| provide comments by Friday or else to "forever hold their |
| peace". </p> |
| <p>ACTION ITEM [Everyone] - read and comment on, if desired, <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/projects/callisto-files/callisto-download-proposal.php">the |
| all-in-one proposal</a> by Friday.</p> |
| <h2>Great Bugs Contest</h2> |
| <p>We announced our first winner; explained <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/projects/callisto-files/callisto-bug-contest.php">the |
| revised procedure</a> (the EMO does more of the work; everyone liked that) and |
| the revised prizes (prizes now for developers too); and encouraged everyone to |
| encourage their teams to find great bugs.</p> |
| <h2>Signing Bundles</h2> |
| <p>Kevin reported back on his action item from the last face-to-face regarding |
| signing bundles. The Platform team tried this, discovered some severe startup |
| performance problems that were easy enough to fix, but given the late date and |
| the ramp down toward the Callisto release, recommends against switching to |
| signing. The team agrees that the risk is too high to sign bundles for Callisto.</p> |
| <h2>Pack 200</h2> |
| <p>Kevin reports that the <a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/pack200.html">Pack |
| 200 specification/mechanism</a> reduces the Eclipse jars in half. The Platform |
| team has been experimenting with this and had built some tools. He will send an |
| email to the cross projects list by Friday with instructions and explanations. |
| At next week's call, we will discuss whether to add a Callisto rule that |
| projects <i>must</i> use Pack 200 or that projects <i>should</i> use Pack 200.</p> |
| <p>ACTION ITEM [Kevin] - by Friday, send out the information on Pack 200.</p> |
| <p>ACTION ITEM [Everyone] - by next Wednesday, evaluate Pack 200.</p> |
| <h2>Notifications of Release Candidates</h2> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Everyone agreed to send email to the cross-projects-issues-dev@ mailing |
| list when their release candidates are ready.</li> |
| <li>Everyone also agreed to either in that same email, or in a second email, |
| to notify cross-projects-issues-dev@ when the features.xml in the Callisto |
| CVS directory is ready.</li> |
| <li>Bjorn will monitor all this and will notify Nathan at the Foundation when |
| the release candidate is ready to be announced as "Ready for |
| Testing" on the eclipse.org home page.</li> |
