<h2>Action Items From Last Week</h2>
<p>ACTION ITEM [Bjorn] - prepare a sample slide deck with the essential slides
and distribute to the project leads - still no progress.</p>
<p>ACTION ITEM [Kevin] - Will test the hybrid (some jars have Pack 200, some do
not) case and ensure that it works - no report.</p>
<h2>Contribution Questionnaires</h2>
<p>Everyone reports that all their third-party contribution questionnaires have
been submitted to Eclipse Legal.</p>
<h2>RC2, RC3, and Overall Status</h2>
<p>Everyone said that their RC3 bits are coming along well, that their project
is stabilizing, and that they are confident they will meet the Callisto release
date. Everyone is getting into more of a rhythm with generating the release
candidates and that both the release and the inter-project bug reporting/solving
process is going well. Projects are still uncertain about the Pack 200 issue.</p>
<p>The biggest risk item the group sees is the lack of unified testing. Some of
the projects are testing with full Callisto distros whereas others are testing
with only subsets of the projects. Integration issues are still appearing. None
of the projects has resources dedicated to testing the entire Callisto distro
and thus it's not getting done - the testing that is happening is &quot;my
project works when everything is loaded&quot; rather than &quot;all projects
work with each other&quot;.</p>
<h2>SDKs/Capabilities/Runtimes</h2>
<p>It's too late to add new features to Callisto - we're in bug-fixing mode
only. We decided that Callisto is about the runtime - the simultaneous release
of the runtimes, not about the SDKs. The idea of a simultaneous release of the
SDKs can be considered for next year's &quot;Callisto&quot;.</p>
