Review of Last Meeting
- Architecture Council/Meetings/October 11 2012
- Still open items moved to #Action_Items
New Topics
- Welcome our new members - Eike Stepper, Benjamin Cabe and Ian Bull
- Ian Bull, EclipseSource, p2 Lead, Blogger, EclipseCon PC
- Benjamin Cabe, Sierra Wireless, Eclipse since 6 years; PDE, M2M WG (Koneki, Mihini)
- Eike Stepper, Berlin, Eclipse since 8 years; leading CDO Model Repo, Modeling (especially runtime)
- John: Process Diet being looked at by Wayne and the EMO
- Compared to github, what processes do we really need
- bug 381105 Git signed-off-by, EMO working on implementing it; will allow us to go from the Code to an agreement (great improvement!)
- Maybe reducing process around new committer elections (as part of moving off the old Portal)
- Martin - consuming IP, find better ways tracking nested items, licenses etc ... about files help but are often wrong
- Looking for a tool to check IP-correctness (wayne's Woolsey project was mean to do that, but unsure about current status)
- Problems include not having an "incremental IP Log" per project which shows diffs compared to last year
- Eike: How to find the right p2 repos that a build can consume - would be a helpful addition to project metadata
- Projects to define "build qualities" and associate their p2 repos with that information
- Related to bug 355418 repo links on download page and bug 331385 recommend p2 structure to projects
- But making locations publicly visible in project metadata would help even more
General Topics
- Eclipse Infrastructure
- Proceeding well in general
- Benjamin: bug 370587 Eclipse Forums - moderation rights for project committers to change topic name of already-solved issues ?
- Denis asking whether more people would be interested - please comment on the bug if interested
- Updates from the Board or the EMO
- Some things going on but not public yet
- EclipseCon Europe News & Updates
- DougS - would be interested in feedback, for EclipseCon NA PC next year
- Ed - It was a great conference, suggest looking at vote feedbacks
- Having to vote on the website gets the #votes down, but just the #votes is an inication of interest
- Anything on JavaFX ? (Tom Schindl's work merging JavaFX and OSGi is bleeding edge)
- LTS gaining traction
- Automotive Group met as a working group - one booth in the hallway was dedicated to working groups
- OSGi Devcon first time at ECE
