DTP PMC and Project Lead Meeting: August 20, 2007

Attendees

Need volunteer to participate in discussion around 198541, report options/decision points to PMC.
Take a look at the Ganymede Simultaneous release page
- Must Dos/Should Dos under discussion, to be approved at next Planning Council face-to-face meeting (early October)
- We should think about these items, send notes to DTP PMC, so our views can be expressed to the Planning Council
DTP Ganymede planning: Documents on wiki for review and discussion:
- Project Plan
  - Themes and priorities: comments?
  - Can we have project schedules complete by 10/1?
- Build Environment
  - Trying for support of Eclipse 3.3 and 3.4: this is necessary?
  - JVM 1.5 on both: What about JVM 1.6?
- Build Schedule
  - Fairly standard, dates for I-builds not specified yet
- Development Environment
  - This was easy to get wrong during DTP 1.5, hoping that experience makes DTP Ganymede better on this item
- Development Guidelines
  - Mainly items from previous versions of dev guidelines
  - Important new action item: resolution of Discouraged Access warnings: Are these a goal for DTP Ganymede?

No volunteer so far for 198541
Discussion of DTP Ganymede planning:
- Decision (in absence of Model Base representation): Detailed project plans for 10/1, drafts by mid-September
- Discussion item: Which version of Java should be supported? Linda points out that there might be use cases for continuing with 1.4 as the base.
- General agreement that resolve of Discouraged Access warnings should be a goal for DTP Ganymede. Most likely we will not resolve all of these, but at least we should document (as a bug) any remaining.
- General feeling was the Eclipse 3.3 and 3.4 support (like we did for 3.2 and 3.3 in Europa) is desirable if possible.
Requirements calls for DTP Ganymede will be scheduled in the coming weeks.

(Project leads): DTP Ganymede detailed project plans for 10/1. Drafts available by mid-September.
