  • identify component leads and identify separate committer lists

Attendees

• Bernd, Sven, Arno, Jan, Peter, Paul, Jonathon

Minutes

• Xpand team to decide whether the current XPand stream will be released as part of Ganymede. Considerations:
  • Pro: Releasing an Eclipse-based Xpand demonstrates commitment
  • Con: Planned rework based on new Backend is likely to introduce incompatibilities.

• Components
  • Xpand and MTL components are to identify a component lead, and a list of committers.
  • Paul will forward this information to the EMO along with a request to have the JET, XPand and MTL components correctly and completely created. This will include separate committer lists, etc...
  • Paul will also forward a request to the EMO to remove the Shared and Common components, as these have no function without any code
  • Arno will prepare a new component proposal for Backend. (Paul will send Arno a link to a sample proposal).

• Leadership
  • The modeling PMC has agreed to make Bernd a co-lead of the project. There are just a few more e-mails to send to make this official.

• Meeting dial-in
  • Dial-in from Europe is still a problem, often requiring operator assistance. Paul will try to get the provider to fix this.
  • Bernd reports success dialing in from a cell phone - this is a positive improvement!
  • Also, Paul is able to add participants from the call. If you are having problems joining a call, please e-mail Paul with your number, and I will try to join you in.

Next meeting

• Every third Thursday of the month. Reminders will be automatically sent to m2t-dev@eclipse.org
• The next meeting Thursday, May 15
