| <p><b>Community </b>by Lawrence</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>All is well</li> |
| <li>The PMC thanks Lawrence for making our website good again. Thanks!</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p><b>BEA</b> by Tim</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>BEA has joined Eclipse as a Strategic Developer and plans to contribute in at least two places: |
| WTP and LDT. Tim gave a presentation about BEA's involvement including this statement "<i>As |
| part of the Eclipse community's acceptance of BEA's request to join as a strategic developer, we would |
| like to formally request a leadership role in the Web Tools Project. </i> |
| <p></p> |
| <p><i>BEA brings a long history of experience with J2EE standards and server technologies, as |
| well as award-winning tools for J2EE developers with its Workshop IDE. BEA's IDE technologies focus on |
| open web standards and span a variety of use cases, including web applications and services, Java and |
| JSP development, XML and XSD editing, data integration, portal development, and more. With a large |
| installed base among the Fortune 500, BEA brings not only development resources but also a deep |
| appreciation for the complexities of real world use cases to the Web Tools Project team. </i></p> |
| <p></p> |
| <p><i>As manager for both the compiler/languages team and the Workshop IDE core team within BEA, |
| my background in J2EE tooling and language-based IDE services provides a useful reference point for |
| participating in the leadership of this project. I have been an internal advocate for migrating to |
| Eclipse as a tooling platform, and also for adopting the 1.0 GA of WTP as a product dependency for BEA. |
| My top priority for the next several months is to ensure that WTP's scheduled milestones continue to be |
| met without disruption. </i></p> |
| <p></p> |
| <p><i>In addition to my full time involvement in Eclipse project management, I would like to |
| also introduce other BEA employees we have identified as being Eclipse committers.</i>"</p> |
| </li> |
| <li>Tim identified BEA's #1 concern as driving WTP R1.0 to successful conclusion because BEA now |
| has a product dependency on WTP (just like IBM does).</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p><b>PMC</b> by Bjorn</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>After a long Q&A, the PMC voted to make the following changes to the PMC: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Tim Wagner to join as a co-lead</li> |
| <li>Bjorn Freeman-Benson to step down as co-lead, but to remain on the PMC</li> |
| <li>Mitch Sonies resigned from the PMC. The entire PMC expressed our regrets to Mitch and |
| thanked him for helping to make WTP what it is today.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p><b>Committers</b> by Arthur</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>The IBM team has identified five new committer candidates amongst its team. These candidates |
| will need to be proposed and voted in by the existing committers, but everyone agreed that this was a |
| good thing.</li> |
| <li>In addition, the WSVT Technology sub-project is being rolled up into the WTP WST sub-project, |
| and thus will bring two more new committers. Again, the WTP committers will need to vote them in, but |
| otherwise the PMC agrees that these people are good.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p><b>Requirements Groups</b> by Jochen</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>The requirements group has deteriorated to just two people: Jochen and Arthur, so Jochen has |
| requested that we reboot the group. Jochen will create the new membership list for the next PMC call.</li> |
| <li>They plan to use Bugzilla to gather and discuss requirements.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p><b>M3</b> by everyone</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>We agreed that our schedule is in danger of slipping, but that we will choose quality over the |
| date for M3.</li> |
