Review of Last Meeting
- Architecture Council/Meetings/February 10 2011
- Still open items moved to #Action_Items
New Topics
Upcoming Change of Bylaws
- Wayne: Proposes getting rid of the "AC responsible for the development, articulation, and maintenance of the Eclipse Platform Architecture"
- Propose adding AC responsible for the EDP (with Wayne being responsible for creating the document)
- Martin: OK with adding EDP responsibility. Concerned about removing Arch responsibility.
- Dave C: Expand the role from "Eclipse Platform" to applying to "Eclipse as a Whole"?
- Wayne: AC doesn't have any teeth to impose architectural direction on any of the projects ... people come for advice ... it's poll, not push
- AC is becoming increasingly mis-named... we are Mentors, help projects with good advice, drive important technical cross-cutting efforts...
- Martin: Bylaws shouldn't just reflect reality but describe the direction and expected state of the system.
- Do we acknowledge that in any truly Open system there is no Architecture anyways? Are we going to release Eclipse into chaos?
- DougS: Each project controls their own domain
- Wayne: AC has influence but no power
- Council Charter should reflect reality, it's frustrating to have a statement that can never happen ... maybe rename into "Eclipse Advisory Council" ?
- Pascal: Be honest to ourselves, nothing has ever happened in many years - Mentoring is the only realistic
- DougS: Had some false hope about good technical discussions, eg good discussion about e4
- Wayne: Recent bug about security policy

OSS Architecture Book Beta

- Allow projects to file bugs which list collections of libraries that are used for testing (and mark these collectively as exemt prereqs)
- Couldn't distribute those libs or put them in scm, but could have them on the build server
- Allow projects to file bugs which list collections of libraries that are used for testing (and mark these collectively as exemt prereqs)
