<h2>Announcements and General Business</h2>
<ul>

	<li>JPA Diagram Editor<br />
	Discuss issue where Graphiti is still incubating for Indigo?
	<p>We discussed and decided the following points:</p>
	<ul>
		<li>As a matter of policy, WTP released projects can depend on
		other incubating projects, but we agree it is an exception, and
		requires PMC review and approval. The PMC will assess
		cost/benifits/risks etc., and depends on if the incubating project is
		released, it relatively mature, impact to adopters, etc. (and, we
		approve it for the JPA Diagram Editor, depending on Graphiti).</li>
		<li>We do believe it is fine for JPA Diagram Editor to "graduate"
		(if it were a true project), as graduation is more a matter of
		"project state" ... does is operate well, follow "the Eclipse Way"
		with community and adopters, etc., not so much the maturity of its API
		... noting that API stability is always a matter of "API Policy" of a
		project and can vary from project to project.</li>
		<li>We would not put JPA Diagram Editor (or any incubation
		feature, or feature that depends on incubating feature) directly in
		the JEE Package. This is because if we did, we'd need to include a
		note similar to "this package includes incubating features" and we
		fear that would make it seem "less ready" for use, less mature.</li>
		<li>The JPA Diagram Editor, and Graphiti, would still be in the
		common repository, /releases/helios, and relatively easy for users to
		install. Presumably, at some point in that installation (such as list
		of feature/bundles) to be installed, the incubating components would
		be identified as incubating.</li>
		<li>Still ok for JPA Diagram Editor to release with Indigo at
		"1.0" level, especially since it doesn't any APIs to speak of.</li>
		<li>"project vs. sub-project" decision should be based on
		goverance concerns and desire to release independently, not
		architecture or packaging. JPA Diagram editor won't want to release
		independently in future (the one time was only to have a Helios
		version released.) And everyone felt social conventions in Dali would
		suffice for governance. Hence one project (Dali) suffices and we'll do
		move review, instead of creation review.</li>
		<li>From EMO's point of view, it is strictly a move review, but
		convention, when WTP Incubator components "graduate" (move) we still
		expect the component team to provide documentation similar to that
		which would be found in a project graduation review.</li>
		<li>For features, builds, map files, etc., will keep things as
		seperate as possible. Will have one new 'component' in Dali's
		bugzilla.</li>
		<li>Kaloyan will start move review docuware. He will provide
		"committer info" for two committers for JPA Diagram editor, but Neil
		will "nominate" them for vote of other Dali committters (as is
		required for move). We (they) still need to check EDP and check on
		details of "move review" to decide if vote must be done on mailing
		list, as part of move review, or if they can use portal and say
		"contingient on successful move review".</li>
	</ul>


	</li>
	<li>Anything else?
	<p>Kolyan gave update on Trademark issue: it has been established
	no one can use &quot;OSGi &lt;anything&gt;&quot;. They are now looking
	at something like &quot;Enterprise Tools for OSGi Platform&quot;. Note
	the project's "short name" will be "Libra" and package namespace will
	be "org.eclipse.libra".</p>
	<p>Neil gave "heads up" that they want to "include" (or depend on)
	some Eclipselink bunles that do JPQL parsing in Dali features (for
	validation, and code completion). The PMC did want to make sure we are
	sensitive to adopters and not give any appearance to an end-user of
	"depending on EclipseLink runtime" but Neil said no, just a few bundles
	that would not surface in any end-user UI ... they would not see
	"eclipselink runtime" installed, or anything similar. We'll work out
	how to "reship" those bundles similar to how we would Orbit bundles, so
	we don't have to instruct users to "go and install the EclipseLink
	runtime". If those bundles are not singletons, would be especially
	easy. If they are singletons, will need to use extra care to make sure
	same version is used by WTP and EclipseLink.</p>
	</li>


</ul>
<h3>Future Agenda items</h3>
<!--  <ul style="text-indent: 5em; font-style: italic;"> -->
<ul style="font-style: italic;">

	<li>Retrospect Helios quick maintenance release. Does it mean we
	weren't ready to release? Any way to improve timing in future?</li>
	<li>Disuss our model and assignments of "PMC Roles". Do they still
	make sense?</li>


</ul>
