Notes
Bob: Potentially got server, site etc
Prepare 1 slide for the server for the EclipseCon talk
Eclipse on the desktop; get compiler, debugger, RTSC, simulator etc all through p2
What's possible using Eclipse as component manager?
Rationale: There's a multitude of (similar) platforms -- where 1 compiler can be re-used for multiple platforms. Use p2 for managing this - "Platform Support Packages"
Take the RTSC tutorial stuff as initial contents
Problem: TI is not on the latest Eclipse / CDT ... perhaps the packaging will motivate silicon vendors to move to the latest
Dave: in Open Source, have "just the basics" to have something working, but including the Platform - starting with MSP430. Vendors to go beyond that.
BeagleBoard might be the next step, hopefully get some community support for that
Bob: Delivering content isn't the problem.
How modular / pluggable are the vendor specific Eclipse / CDT debuggers today? Atmel, TI, ... a "call to arms" for the CDT community can debuggers be installed side by side in the CDT?
Multi-context support: proprietary today, simple in Open source... improved workflows to happen later
Initial step: TI's Code Composer Essentials as base, only pull little stuff from the extra site
Eclipse 3.2 + CDT ?.? -- the only way to get the very specific debugger needed for this platform
Bootstrapper to be "quite complete" in the beginning; reduce bootstrapper / increase downloaded stuff in the longer term
Martin: How to come up with the rules for the PSP's ? - Dave and Bob to come up with rules by doing it once
Who to do the bundling?
How to write up instructions such that the Community can do the bundling?
What do we want to have at EclipseCon:
Basic infrastructure for the Community: Wiki, mailinglist, bugzilla, ...
Can that be on Eclipse? - Problematic: Project creation takes 3 weeks ... DSDP incubator? What if the entire charter is creating stuff that cannot be hosted at Eclipse.org?
Giving the right impressions
Bootstrapping the Community
Who can drive this?
Martin is resource constrained
Dave might have conflict of interest
Bob wants to wait (3 months) before becoming an official lead
Martin can be the frontman but can't drive this
Bob: http://sysbios.org - should become the site for getting ready-made contents
Want a sourceforge project? The activity for tooling the site might be on a different place
Action Items
AI Martin to talk to Doug about Eclipse project
AI Martin send sf Wascana url, and talk to DougS
AI Bob create slide for ECon talk
AI Dave gather data about ripping TI's stuff apart to using Eclipse 3.5
