Review of Last Meeting
- Architecture Council/Meetings/June 12 2014
- Still open items moved to #Action_Items
New Topics
- Welcome new AC members
- Wayne: bug 441637 Maven Repo organization for LocationTech (Guest Speaker: Jody Garnett)
Denis: departure of Thanh Ha, release engineer
- 1.5 more weeks to wrap up at Eclipse.org
- DavidW: Might encourage Thanh to send out a "goodbye message" himself
- Martin: Might combine such a message with a call to the Community for joining some "learning experience" with Thanh ... perhaps like a "CBI seminar" ?
- AI Denis good idea, think about drafting a message
- Good news is that CBI is in a MUCH better state now than before Thanh joined ... basically it "just works" now
- Denis: CBI is a real project, there's also a mailing list...
Marcel: capturing stack traces
- Calling Home policy, send stack traces automatically proposed on cross-project and epp-dev mailing lists
- Maybe anonymize stack traces ... could this be integrated into Mars milestone builds
- Wayne: involves some investment in resources... would be a waste if wouldn't be used, thus request general buy-in from the AC
- Multiple stages: (1) buy-in, (2) legal review, (3) roll out for simrel train ASAP eg M2, (4) around M5 look back about whether it was useful
- Marcel: Log Listener in errorlog view; any backtraces from org.eclipse sent to a vserver
- Tom: This would not be in Platform, but on top of the Platform (EPP)
- Martin: Sounds very valuable, and nicely complements the Eclipse Platform Plan item Surface more options on the Tracing preference page plan item
- David W: Sounds like a very valuable tool even if only for committers
- David Williams: UDC created tons of data but had no way analyzing it .. is the analysis part figured out ?
- Marcel: Look for (plugin|errorcode) combinations that occur often, but such analysis will be manual work (on behalf of Marcel, eg send E-Mails)
- RESOLUTION Wayne happy to move forward, taking the next step with Legal
- Marcel: Where to report progress ?
- Wayne: cross-project would have the broadest audience.
