Review of Last Meeting
- Architecture Council/Meetings/September 13 2012
- Still open items moved to #Action_Items
New Topics
- Nominate new members (Wayne)
- Proposed candidates approved on the phone conf. Ask candidates whether they're willing, then initiate E-Mail vote
- Updates from the Board
- e4 performance has been discussed: improve feedback channels from the Community
- Martin: Moving in the right direction - needs time to look at issues individually
- Martin: "Report a bug" to Eclipse, including logs (maybe also improvement ideas)
- Mike working behind the scenes to get more contributors. Need projects to take the input.
- CBI/Platform Build
- Platform can build now on CBI - wohoo !
- Eclipse.org infrastructure
- Working well at the moment
- Processes Simplifications
- Do away with the "3 questions" and use the git "signed-off-by" instead
- Reduce paperwork for committers : Click-through agreements
- New Portal going slower than hoped - rolling out today for LocationTech Working Group (separate Forge with all infrastructure), if that goes well roll out to the projects
- Polarsys working group also on separate forge - main motivation of separate Forge is different licensing needs, as well as branding
- Different URL's but similar processes
- AI Wayne invite Andrew Ross for next call talk about LocationTech
Git Migration
- Move to git needs to happen - 70 days left - remind your mentored projects !
- Not yet migrated: http://eclipse.org/projects/tools/status.php?git=0&cvs=1
- Migration is mostly automatic, though there's a chance improving structures as part of the migration
- Getting the get repo granularity right is the biggest challenge
- SVN being deprecated too (new projects discouraged from git)
- Following renames (works today, there's a Preference setting for egit)
- Website migration is smooth
