| <h1>WTP PMC Minutes for March 28, 2006 Conference Call</h1> |
| <h2>Community Update [LM]</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>EclipseCon went well, lots of interest in WTP, including the tutorials, talks well attended.</li> |
| <li>Feedback for improvement: |
| <ul> |
| <li>All-in-one ZIP for Macs (Mac users have a hard time with installing; each unZip wants to |
| create a new folder, and then they have to manually merge).</li> |
| <li>Quality (hopefully addressed further in 1.5)</li> |
| <li>Support for "small" adopters (hard to understand this one)</li> |
| <li>Ongoing requests for more granularity of features (will track and consider)</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>Looking for feedback from PHP project folks</li> |
| <li>Talked to RadRails implementers, and encouraged them to reconsider WTP/SSE infrastructure</li> |
| </ul> |
| <!-- <li>RSS feed being tested; planned to go live along with Phoenix conversion. --> |
| <h2>Procedural [TW]</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>[held over] David to investigate granting releng access to Dali committers to enable build and |
| release coordination for 1.5. Naci will publish a note on the newsgroup regarding the Dali build plans. |
| Initial plan is to build it but not incorporate into our ZIP yet (will pursue the same course for ATF |
| and JSF). Raghu and Craig to send list of committers to David who should have access to the WTP releng |
| bits.</li> |
| <li>Versioning - agreed to 2.0 for the June 2007 (coordinated) release. This will refer to the WTP |
| features and marketing version; plugins will follow the API "increment" rules.</li> |
| <li>Maintenance schedule - WTP strongly prefers a single street date coordindated with the |
| platform. We will |
| <ul> |
| <li>Strongly request that the platform establish firm maintenance release dates on an ongoing |
| basis.</li> |
| <li>Request that the platform and our prerequisites agree to a single, coordinated street date |
| in the same fashion as the Callisto release for at least our projects (others may not elect to opt |
| in). (This in preference to our approach last year of have "fast follow on" releases that track the |
| platform.)</li> |
| <li>Expect to support both update site (including discovery via the Callisto discovery site) |
| and ZIPs (see packaging discussion above) for maintenance releases.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>Packaging in WTP download area for 1.5: |
| <ul> |
| <li>All-in-one w/ TP</li> |
| <li>All-in-one w/ core bits</li> |
| <li>Usual separate pieces</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>1.0.2 Status</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Builds proceeding smoothly</li> |
| <li>Need to do a final triage/review this Thursday on the status meeting - component leads should |
| come prepared with recommendations to fix/postpone</li> |
| <li>Checkins going forward require PMC approval (via email dev list)</li> |
| <li>Code freeze is 4/14; ship date is 4/21 (assuming no stop-ship issues).</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Callisto / 1.5 Status</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Testing Callisto versus "standalone" WTP - will attempt testing on Callisto bits at each |
| milestone/RC; David to investigate easiest way for people to get the bits for testing</li> |
| <li>M6 progress</li> |
| <li>[held over] Need to bump our (feature) version numbers to 1.5.</li> |
| <li>Build infrastructure updated to latest version from the platform (will take effect this week). |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Architecture [DW]</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Packages that have "*internal*" in the name will have "x-internal" set in the manifest.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>JSF Status [RS]</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Focus on builds, working on integration with Naci.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>ATF Status [CB]</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Source code available in Bugzilla</li> |
| <li>Still waiting for Godot...</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Hot (Adopter) Bug List Process Proposal</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Approval vote held over due to time constraints; previous notes below.</li> |
| <li>Goal: Generate hot list from Bugzilla query, control promotion of hot bug request to actual hot |
| bug, enable self subscription for requests and simultaneously minimize "wtp-dev" noise.</li> |
| <li>See proposal text at <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/adopters/hot_bug_process.html"> |
| http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/adopters/hot_bug_process.html</a>. PMC members should review and be prepared |
| to move on the process vote next week.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Action Items</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>[TW] Planning Council discussion about concrete maintenance release dates.</li> |
| <li>[DW] Work with webmaster to see if we can get Dali access to the releng component of WTP.</li> |
| <li>[RS] Track Dali progress on builds and release review for the PMC.</li> |
| <li>[TW] Check with Bjorn on ATF provisioning (did this; Bjorn requested that we verify filing of |
| the appropriate paperwork)</li> |
| <li>[TW] File committership paperwork for newly elected committers (DONE)</li> |
| <li>[TW] Check with Janet Campbell on IP review for ATF and IP update status in general.</li> |
| <li>[ALL/Held over] Work with JSF and Dali on incubation exit review dates and criteria.</li> |
