Conference Call Details

Proposed Agenda

Conference Agenda:

• Welcome Sybase contributors as MTJ committers
• Review of Release Review MTJ 0.9
• Post 0.9 release plan: DSDP/MTJ/Post 0.9
  • When should we join the train? we have up to the end of December/08
  • After MTJ join the train:
    • Will MTJ only run with Galileo?
    • Or should we keep the code base compliant with Ganymede? (don't use Galileo specific features)
    • Or should we have another version that is Europa/Ganymede compliant? (possible if we open a separated branch)
  • When MTJ is ready to graduate?
  • If we are not ready, are we ok to add /remove APIs on a 0.9.x release? (should we?)
  • When should we do a 0.9.X release? what is the scope of it?

Minutes:

• Post 0.9 release plan:
  • MTJ must join Galileo train by M4 (M4 GA = 01/12/2009)
    • After joining the train, Galileo specific features will be used (notable new JDT preprocessor) and therefore MTJ will only work with Galileo.
    • MTJ 1.0 will be released with Galileo (Galileo GA = 06/26/2009)
    • Keep support to ganymede is important. We have to verify how it will happen (only maintenance releases, break features into different fragments, etc). Martin Oberhuber (DSDP/TM project leader) suggestion is to avoid branching.
  • To avoid having MTJ users to wait so long for new features, a version 0.9.1 will be released by December.
    • This version should contain:
      • Bug fixes (high priority);
      • Possible new features:
        • Internationalization support;
        • External Libraries support;
        • Preprocessing enhancements (TBD);
      • ...
    • We have to make sure the community is aware that this 0.9.1 version will contain new features
• Christian Kurzke will send a friendly mail to Kevin / Arto to verify if they still want to participate in MTJ.
