Attendance

TBD

Agenda

  • [Ed] oomph updates

:* no longer does 32-bit, now does dmg files, includes fixes for equinox changes

:* oomph catalog is less restrictive w/ ranges. Upper bounds are 5.0 so all 4.x updates will work (rather than [4.9,4.10) which prevented it

  • [Alex] Missing EPPs for M1 - Java EE package missing

:* package maintainers ( should / must ) provide automatable tests?

:* publish all of them, but mark not approved, with link to previous

:* AI: Fred to delegate to web team to push all & mark red w/ bug details - maybe for M2?

:* if maintainers provide tests, to be run on EPP jenkins, then manual +1 email no longer needed

  • [Dani] Train name - we're now "Eclipse IDE for ___", "Eclipse IDE" on splash screen

:* EclipseCon planning meeting: 6 in attendance, and in agreement

:* Eclipse TLP still not renamed

:* AI: Dani to email Thabang (cc: Ed) about replacing "Simrel" with "IDE" on download and marketing pages because "Simrel" makes his eyes hurt (though it should be noted that instead of calling the release a "train" he does refer to it as "the simrel") :P

  • [Dani] liaison person for Eclipse marketing (Thabang - new marketing guy; Ian is gone)

:* Sept release marketing was weak

:* No landing page for Jakarta EE, no buzz

:* Plan is to have the June releases be the big buzz, but quarterly releases will get some love too

:* They need our help to know select N&N items as input to marketing

:* Suggestion: Sopot Cela; nominate him to PC

:* AI: Alex to talk to Wayne about appointing Sopot

  • [Fred] cross-projects list should only be used for simrel announcements?

:* no, nothing to change

  • [Dani] new list to be created for jakartaee-projects@ train
  • [Fred] simrel looking good
  • [Ed] not seeing a lot of contributions from projects; will we see problems because no one is watching platform changes?

Actions from last time

Per: https://wiki.eclipse.org/Planning_Council/October_3_2018#Notes

  • AI: Wayne: add a new date to the simrel schedule for when an announcement is send to cross-projects@, to report who we think is participating. If URLs are found w/ /latest/ or snapshot, they should be disabled?
  • AI: Wayne: send note to cross-projects@ to announce not opting in
  • AI: Wayne: update "ASAP" re: "Create your release record (for new releases)". Actual date is on/before Oct 19.
  • AI: Wayne to produce documentation re: rules and send to planning-council list
  • AI: Fred restrict pushing to simrel w/o gerrit review

:* not done yet; planned for after M2

New business

  • TBD
