- Minutes:
- Eclipsecon 2009 call for participation
- DaveC => XSL Tutorial submitted
- Thanks Nitin for the old help for new friend doc
- Auto IP Log
- link to full documentation to the automatic IP Log, also available under project info, eclipse portal page, project leads should bookmark
- IPLog flag in bugzilla, change that to a + if someone submits a patch who is not a committer
- Kathy: used to use contributed keyword? should use IPLog w/ a + sigh instead
- David: Starting now, and back in time for anything over the last few months
- last year's contributed
- Tim: set the IPLog and + sign on the patch or the bug?
- David: most specific thing, should do it on the patch, since patch only has 1 person's name attached to it
- Kaloyan: still use contributed?
- David: No need to remove if its already there, but no need to keep using it now
- Kosta: a committer on 1 subproject contributes to another project where she/she is not a committer on, then should that be marked as well?
- David: yes, its at a subproject level
- Kathy: where would these be listed eventually? IP log for various subproject?
- David: yes that is where it should be listed
- Nitin: For sse, its listing login name but not the actual person's name
- David: Name optional when sign up for bugzilla id, so it's not actually required, will take that question and try to find out
- Tim: Mine is showing up like that too
- David: could be timing related, when people became committers or became not committers, will look into that bugzilla id vs name. Will ask around if something could be done there or improve the report
- Don't hesitate to ask if you have questions on wtp-dev, the doc is very detailed as well, if can't find who to ask, then David can direct
- Gary: what if someone submits a patch, and its not used, fixed it up and used a new one, then what to do?
- David: if it is not used should be make obsolete, if using a modified a version then yes okay to count as IPLog+, should also give feedback to the sumitter to better patch submission process
- EclipseWorld
- Attendance is way down from previous years, webtools classes was comparable to previous years, so still quite popular and well attended, material is available on the web, link posted
- Eclipse Summit
- upcoming: Kaloyan is presenting, Cameran for JSF
- David compliance will be driven by bugzilla, so can tell milestone by milestone
- Gary: who sets these must do and should dos? such as performance, how can we make it a must do?
- David: needs a champion on the planning council
- Gary: devote a milestone to performance?
- David: gets tricky if we start to pick out 1 area and make it a must do, as each project has its own objectives, its hard to dictate somethings encourage for us in WTP first to do it better

WTP 3.1
Planning
Two issues came up when discussing the planning process
- How to handle "future" milestone target? Turns out we have discussed and documented this before, see WTP_Bugs, Workflow and Conventions#The meaning of "Future" milestone target.
- How can we better incorporate bugs-to-fix in 3.1 planning? Subsequent to meeting, I suggested that leads/committers should set the 3.1 milestone target for bugs that ideally should be fixed in 3.1, to help "prime the pot". For example, nearly all voted on bugs and "major" bugs should be so marked. I've added more bugzilla queries to WTP 3.1 Project Plan to assist.
- New format First draft 9/20, Final copy 10/30
Schedule
- Please finish filling in the New and Noteworthy for M3 by Wednesday the 5th
- org.eclipse.wst.xml.ui will be moving to 1.1.0 when M4 begins, prepare accordingly
Adjusted schedule, based on Platform's proposed schedule.

- RC1 -> May 22 Serious bugs only, focus on stability.
- RC2 -> May 29 WTP will likely not participate in an RC2, based on feedback from last year that RC2 came too soon, needed more fixing, less testing
- RC3 -> Jun 5 Very serious bugs only.

References
- In general, the minimum requirement is that if you branch a plug-in, you need to branch all the plug-ins in the corresponding map file. This is to make it easier for others to know what to load, to "be current" in a maintenance branch. It is fine to branch everything in a sub-project if you choose to, but still need to correspond to what's in a map file, and the map file should be updated to explain what it's used for. Map files can be re-organized some, if that helps make it easier to organize and understand what teams are working on what.
- The names for branches should follow the pattern of 'R3_0_maintenance'. This will be the name for all 3.0.x maintenance work (not just the first, 3.0.1 maintenance work). Note that JSF and JPA code may use R2_0_maintenance, but their map files, will still be branched using R3_0_maintenance.
