| <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>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>Quality (hopefully addressed further in 1.5) |
| <li>Support for "small" adopters (hard to understand this one) |
| <li>Ongoing requests for more granularity of features (will track and consider) |
| </ul> |
| <li>Looking for feedback from PHP project folks |
| <li>Talked to RadRails implementers, and encouraged them to reconsider WTP/SSE |
| infrastructure |
| </ul> |
| <!-- <li>RSS feed being tested; planned to go live along with Phoenix conversion. --> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <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>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>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>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>Expect to support both update site (including discovery via the Callisto discovery |
| site) and ZIPs (see packaging discussion above) for maintenance releases. |
| </ul> |
| <li>Packaging in WTP download area for 1.5: |
| <ul> |
| <li>All-in-one w/ TP |
| <li>All-in-one w/ core bits |
| <li>Usual separate pieces |
| </ul> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2>1.0.2 Status </h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Builds proceeding smoothly |
| <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>Checkins going forward require PMC approval (via email dev list) |
| <li>Code freeze is 4/14; ship date is 4/21 (assuming no stop-ship issues). |
| </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>M6 progress |
| <li>[held over] Need to bump our (feature) version numbers to 1.5. |
| <li>Build infrastructure updated to latest version from the platform (will take effect this week). |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2>Architecture [DW] </h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Packages that have "*internal*" in the name will have "x-internal" set in the manifest. |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2>JSF Status [RS] </h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Focus on builds, working on integration with Naci. |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2>ATF Status [CB] </h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Source code available in Bugzilla |
| <li>Still waiting for Godot... |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2>Hot (Adopter) Bug List Process Proposal </h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Approval vote held over due to time constraints; previous notes below. |
| <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>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. |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2>Action Items </h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>[TW] Planning Council discussion about concrete maintenance release dates. |
| <li>[DW] Work with webmaster to see if we can get Dali access to the releng component |
| of WTP. |
| <li>[RS] Track Dali progress on builds and release review for the PMC. |
| <li>[TW] Check with Bjorn on ATF provisioning (did this; Bjorn requested that we |
| verify filing of the appropriate paperwork) |
| <li>[TW] File committership paperwork for newly elected committers (DONE) |
| <li>[TW] Check with Janet Campbell on IP review for ATF and IP update status in general. |
| <li>[ALL/Held over] Work with JSF and Dali on incubation exit review dates and criteria. |
| </ul> |
