| <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 communitys acceptance of BEAs 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. BEAs 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 WTPs 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>"</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> |
| </ul> |
