Agenda

• (John): Update on EclipseCon 2007 DTP sessions
• (John): Proposal for "prototypes" folder in each subproject CVS tree
• (John): Update on DTP release horizon

Minutes

• EclipseCon 2007 update:
  • 3 short tutorials proposed, 3 accepted
  • Let's encourage people to submit their proposals as early as possible, to give maximum community review time
• Prototypes folder
  • Ask project leads to create one in their CVS module
  • Committer wishing to add to prototypes asks project lead, who then petitions PMC. The main point is to have a clear plan for prototpye code, such as alternatives in design, early versions of new features, etc.
• Discussion about release horizon
  • DTP 1.0 in Dec 06, supports Eclipse 3.2.1
  • DTP 0.9.2 in Feb 07 (with Callisto), supports Eclipse 3.2.2
  • DTP 1.5 in June 07 (with Europa), supports Eclipse 3.3
  • No other releases planned at the moment
• Moving forward, we'll need to set up a dependency matrix to show which versions of the platform and other DTP dependencies are known to work with specific versions of DTP
• Need to define ramp down policy for 1.0 and understand what features are contained
  • DTP 1.0RC0 (11/17): All DTP 1.0 plug-in ids known, API review set complete, IP log updated
  • DTP 1.0RC1 (12/1): Feature freeze -- only serious bugs addressed thereafter
