Review of Last Meeting

• Architecture Council/Minutes February 12 2009
  • Thanks to Andrew and Wayne for organizing it
  • AC Wiki: aren't we done?
  • IPZilla discussions: escalate via PMC's only
• Action Items
• (old) Martin to follow up with the m2eclipse and IAM projects regarding duplication
• (old) Martin to follow up on Architecture Diagrams idea
• (old) Michael to flesh out the Patterns idea and remind the EAC -- started Architecture Council/Top Ten Recommendations#Design Patterns, backed by EclipseCon tutorial proposals
  • While these show how well-known GoF patterns are applied in Eclipse, Michael's idea was more to find and describe new patterns which are specific to Eclipse
• (old) Michael to draft an E-Mail about the "plugin granularity" idea, searching for people to lead the effort
• (old) Mik to create initial "architectural walkthrough" material for Mylyn -- 1 wiki page not too large, send link to the mailing list (committed until end January)
• (old) All PMC's to encourage incubating grandfathered projects ask for a mentor (by filing an AC bug)
• Dave Carver send links to Wiki pages which we might want to emulate for the AC Homepage
• Mik to propose a date for demoing the Mylyn "report a bug" feature
• Everyone review/edit the various Architecture Council wiki pages, particularly the Architecture Council/Ask the AC Panel/FAQ and Architecture Council/Links Collection. Add questions to the FAQ.
• New Category markup allows us to tag other (non-AC) pages such that they show up under AC
  • Better organize the AC homepage: collect feedback... AI Dave send links to other Wiki pages for review to check which ones we might want to emulate, also, everyone can make suggestions / create mock-up pages for review.
• Still open items moved to #Action Items

Administrative

• IP/Legal Discussions: IPZilla closed group is up. In bug 214133, Martin asks whether having the link under the following areas of the portal is sufficient:
  • Committer on (xxx) -> IP Policy -> [pose] a question
  • Project lead for (xxx) -> IP Policy -> [pose] a question
• PMC Representation on the AC - backup delegates, 1 attendee required
  • Backup still required for Tools PMC
