| <h2>Announcements and General Business</h2> |
| <h3>Notes from 9/17 Board Review</h3> |
| <p>Not much feedback, on <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/BoardReviews/2008/WTPReview2008.pdf">document</a> |
| nor WTP in general. Thirty minutes is a very short time. But, on specific items:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Yes, we can "favor" Eclipse runtime projects without violating vendor neutrality (but need care not to |
| interfere with adopters)</li> |
| <li>"standards only" clause was added just as a way to more narrowly define the scope ... some of the previous |
| drafts sounded like "any thing goes". The board would be open to a revised charter ... and that topic, and others, |
| would be discussed in the context of that charter-revision process.</li> |
| <li>On input to marketing survey: noted, but there will be no marketing survey this year (no one wanted to pay |
| for it, apparently).</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h3>WTP 3.0.2 Ship?</h3> |
| <p>Any objections?</p> |
| <h3>WTP 3.0.3?</h3> |
| <p>Any thoughts on proposed schedule? Counter proposals?</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>10/24 RC1 (i.e. PMC review starts)</li> |
| <li>10/31 RC2</li> |
| <li>11/7 RC3</li> |
| <li>11/14 3.0.3 Release</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>How to state theme? Pre-PMC Review? "Bug fixes only as reviewed and approved by Project Lead (or delegate)"</p> |
| <h3>Old Business</h3> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Dali 2.1 |
| <p>We discussed (some) the Dai 2.1 plan. Neil agreed that 2.0.x maintenance would continue for serious bugs if |
| required. He also agreed the 2.1 plan needs a "ramp down" period added. We also need to come up with a build |
| component/process that produces a separate zip (and would have different prereqs, at some point). Neil will open bug |
| to track. REMINDER: Dali 2.1 will require a release review.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li>Wed. vs. Fri. |
| <p>We also discussed the general problem of us hitting "Wednesday deliveries". The Simultaneous Release team |
| (Planning Council) wants narrow delivery windows but it does mess up our rhythm).</p> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |

| <dt>Notes:</dt> |
| <dd>Neil investigating "close old bugs" policy.</dd> |
| <dd>Neil has estimated approximately 800 bugs (of 2000 untargeted bugs) could be considered "old bugs". He'll |
| prepare a table and note to send to project with encouragement to PLs to handle ... something like either triage |
| individually and assign a target, or mark with 'helpwanted' or mark in mass with a kind comment to re-open if still |
| an issue (with reason for the mass update, etc.).</dd> |

| <h3>Education: Naci Dai</h3> |
| <p>Please review: <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/community/resources/">Resource Page Proposal</a></p> |
| <p>Naci was approached (and countered) with some proposed articles for Eclipse (online) magazine [need link. only |
| one I found last published in 2007?] Naci will invite authors for a series of articles for "WTP Uncovered":</p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>web developer tools (xml, xsl, html, css)</li> |
| <li>web applications with Java (jsf, jsp, server)</li> |
| <li>enterprise application (jpa/ejb)</li> |
| <li>soa, webservices</li> |
| <li>adopters/extending (maybe)</li> |
| </ol> |
| <p>Naci updated us today: Publisher would like all articles in one issue (for an issued focused on WTP). Online |
| version would be in English. Print version would be translated to German. They'd like one overview article less than |
| 20,000 words, and 4 shorter, but more focused article on specific areas, each less than 10,000 words</p> |
| <p>Naci will have some Eductation site/materials ready next week. He'll likely create a new bugzilla component |
| ("Education"? I assume under the main Web Tools "product")</p> |
| <p>As mentioned last week, we'll publish education materials under <a |
| href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/">Creative Commons -- Attribution Share Alike</a> but still EPL |
| for sample code, examples and snippets.</p> |
