Agenda / Notes

- Last meeting: Architecture Council/Meetings/December 8 2016 -- open actions see #Action_Items
General Topics
- Carl Anderson introduction
- Been with IBM for a very long time, replacing Chuck Bridgham as WTP PMC Lead (and David Williams as WTP Releng guy)
- Denis: Simrel Build taken on by Frederic Gurr
- Please support Frederic in this new role
- Will shift some discussion on build mechanics from cross-project to the cbi-dev mailing list
- Eclipse Platform build still done by Platform project (Sravan), Fred only does the aggregation
- Marcel: New AC Members
- AI Wayne nomination
- Marcel: Next Iteration of FEEP
- Mikael: received 6 bids in December, reviewing now, expect to present next week
- Looking at Budget available, this is a good number, would love to have more but may not be able to fund all of them
- Marcel/Mikael: Quality of the Eclipse Marketplace Plugins
- Marcel reaching out to providers with Error Reporting; discussions with Ian
- Mikael meeting Mike in Ottawa next week, will report on the outcome
- Ed Merks is working on a tool to identify Invalid Solution Listings, see bug 509929 with first results
Wayne: IP Due Diligence Changes
- Wayne: New IP Due Diligence Changes
- Wayne's writing some blogs now; would like to get pushed out by March - Type A or B due diligence
- Type A just checks for license compatibility; goal is having this done by projects themselves (with help of tools like FOSSology, IP team helping out until tools are ready).
- Laid some groundwork for integration with IPZilla, eg monitor and drop reports there
- Hoping to get to full automation by end of the year
- Looking for incremental improvements as more and more projects adopt it
- Type B: A plus provenance check
- Projects start with Type A in incubation - may switch to type B (or not) when graduating
- Projects can mix, eg multiple type A releases followed by a yearly type B release
- Picked a couple of projects already doing type A, rolling out en-large this quarter
- Release process is a separate, related topic.
Doug: Eclipse Two
- Doug: Eclipse Two
- See https://cdtdoug.ca/2016/12/31/looking-forward-to-2017/ experimenting with Electron
- Busy with project stuff until March, exposing to the Community now and see where it goes
- Looking at an IDE on Electron to go beyond VS Code which is just an editor
- Trying to get hold of some trends in the industry before others do it (especially in the Eclipse and Embedded communities)
- Lightweight, not coupled to IResource; advanced visualizations and tools like TraceCompass, Android, Modeling...
- Qt has its own IDE, Adacore has its own, Andmore is dead ... time to try something new, but will only work if Community forms around it
- Relationship to the ide-dev and ui guideline stuff ?
- Those are still classic Eclipse - same people, not really growing, thus tried something new ... all depends on where Community takes it
- MichaelS: As Eclipse insiders, we tend to question too much ... many users are still just happy getting work done with Eclipse.
- "Heavy" plugins inside Eclipse duplicate much. Using the VS Code architecture, the IDE becomes more replaceable for mix-and-match of components from various sources...
- Doug: Working on integrating live language server in CDT, likely based on libclang
- Michael: Could there be a universal data model for languages including type hierarchy ?
- Doug: LSP is an extensible protocol. It's going to grow into this.
- CONCLUSION: Would work towards a virtual meet-up, but Doug has no time until March; until then, everything is on Github, feel free to join in
