Community

• EclipseCon: we need to decide short talks and demos today! (Technically, 1/10 is the absolute deadline).
  • Review, comment, and/or vote for 3 demos
  • Review, comment, and/or vote for 6 short talks

    We actually only have 6 short talk submissions ... but, being responsible, are there any we should not accept and return a slot?

• PMC Votes on demos:

  • 4009: 2
  • 4010: 1
  • 4014: 3
  • 4021: 3
  • 4049: 2 1/2 (Raghu placed a fourth, backup vote)

  The selected demos are: 4014, 4021 and 4049.

  Runners-up-hold-if-extra-slots: 4009, 4010.

  (Decline others, declined demos could maybe be re-submitted as short talks if the presenters are interested in being considered).

• Short talks:

  • 4075: Accepted
  • 4099: Accepted
  • 4114: Tentatively declined, depending on context of short talks
  • 4137: Declinced, as there is a demo with the same content already approved
  • 4165: Accepted
  • 3740: Accepted

  Follow-up after meeting: the short talks are assigned "randomly", to encourage diversity of interest, so 4114 may be too deep in one specific area.

Process

• JSDT Incubating sub-project or new component?

  I recommend to just avoid the term "incubating", that's now a very significant term with the new IP process for incubating sub-projects, so, some think "incubating component" could be confusing or misinterpreted. But, I think none of us assumed any IP signficance to it. Agreed?

  If we agree, I've asked Phil to remove "incubating" from the component proposal and to remove "ATF" from the URL.

  All agreed. David will create component (CVS and bugzilla).

• Finalize decision on Generics in common.facets

  The issue is the need for PMC to keep facet's at 1.4 level? Proposed to allow Kosta to be able to propose a change to the committers? Agreed?

  All present agreed. As previously mentioned, Naci was not present. Not clear yet if this can go in for M5. Seems unlikely, but could go in for early M6, provided other committers agree.

• We need a Phoenix Test/Roll out plan: volunteers?

  Bob to submit a patch later this week. PMC to review patch and vote next Tuesday. Jess has done a short review, but others should follow, especially to ensure that no parts of the website are inaccessible under the new design.

Release progress
