<p>Note: I assigned the mentoring responsibility for the three new projects to
Bjorn (Aperi) and Wayne (Apogee, RAP).</p>

<p>First we discussed the EclipseCon tutorials that were submitted under our
track. We choose <a href="http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3641">3641</a>,
<a href="http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3621">3621</a>, and
conditionally <a href="http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3671">3671</a>.
We declined <a href="http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3623">3623</a>
and <a href="http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3673">3673</a>
as we noted that they might be better as long or short talks.</p>

<p><b>ACTION ITEM: </b>[Wayne] Explain the conditions on <a href="http://eclipsezilla.eclipsecon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3671">3671</a>.</p>

<p>Next we discussed EclipseCon talks. The long talk and panels deadline is Dec
1st and we all need to contact our projects (see below) and make sure they
understand the deadline and get their proposals&nbsp; in before then.</p>

<p><b>ACTION ITEM: </b>[Bjorn, Cliff, John, Ward, Wayne] Contact your project
leads, by confirmed reply email or on the phone, and make sure they understand
this deadline.</p>

<p>Our third topic in this busy PMC meeting was our two mostly dead projects:
ECESIS and Laszlo. They have had no activity (or almost no activity) for so long
that we decided to hold Archive Reviews for them. If people show up at these
reviews explaining that the projects are still alive, then we will probably keep
them - if not, the projects will be archived.</p>

<p><b>ACTION ITEM:</b> [Wayne then Ward] Write the Archive Review slide decks
for these two projects (title and a page or two of explanation). Schedule (via
emo@) the reviews and cc the ecesis-dev@ and laszlo-dev@ mailing lists.</p>

<p>The fourth item was the Technology sub-projects (lack of) conformance to the
adopted <a href="/projects/dev_process/project-status-infrastructure.php">Eclipse
website standards</a>. We decided that the reasons were two-fold: one is a lack
of motivation (no consequence for not doing so), the other is a lack of
understanding what to do (in spite of the <a href="/projects/dev_process/project-status-infrastructure.php">detailed
instructions</a>). We plan to address the latter the same way that speeding
tickets are often resolved: with &quot;Driving School&quot; - in our case
&quot;Website School&quot;. We'll have two conference call sessions where we
answer questions about how to set up a project website to conform to the
standards. Attendance is mandatory - projects that do not attend will start to
be reminded of their non-conformance immediately; projects that do attend will
have until the end of the year before any non-conformance reminders start.</p>

<p><b>ACTION ITEM:</b> [Bjorn] Schedule two training sessions</p>

<p><b>ACTION ITEM:</b> [Ward, Wayne] Write and send the invitations to the
non-conforming projects.</p>

<p><b>ACTION ITEM:</b> [Bjorn] Work with webmaster@ to create the remind-o-matic
software.</p>
