** Decision

*** Committer Vote: DSDP PMC approval of committers will function similarly to project committer votes. When a project's committer vote starts, the project lead will notify the PMC of the nominated committer and the PMC vote will also commence so that the vote happens in parallel. The vote will be held open for one week. There must be 3 +1 votes from the PMC, and no negative votes. All PMC members are encouraged to vote, and a 0 vote is acceptable if you have no time to examine the contribution record of the nominated committer.
 +
*** CQ Vote: DSDP PMC approval of CQ's (contribution questionnaires) requires a +1 vote of 2 PMC members (not including the PMC lead of the project receiving the contribution) and no -1 votes. The vote concludes when 2 +1 votes are received. PMC members are allowed to veto the CQ (within a reasonable time period) after the CQ is approved, since there is typically a delay between PMC approval and CQ approval from the Eclipse IP team. All PMC members are encouraged to vote, and a 0 vote is acceptable if you have no time to examine the CQ.

 +
** TCF adoption increasing (Anyware-tech, Montavista, Freescale), getting community patches.
 +
** EFS removed from project plan, which means it's not considered a priority any more. e4 resources promises to fix this.
 +
** Releng - Nick Boldt / Common Builder (CBI) work ongoing under Dash, TM wants to be an early adopter (some time in december).
 +
* TmL

 +
** Have submitted a long talk, short talk, and a tutorial session for EC2009.
 +
** Still no decision on making the change from CVS to SVN.
 +
** Otavio has investigated TCF as a protocol for transmitting data from /proc filesystem.  The results are good, but there is some question about how TCF is built into TM.  Otavio had to bring in all of TM to get TCF and he wonders if there is a way to get a smaller part of TM instead.

** Thoughts on breakdown?
 
*** Tml: Short, Long, part of a Tutorial
 
*** Martin asked about whether we could do multiple topics in the 4hr tutorial. He doesn't want to do another TM tutorial this year, though. '''Doug & Eric: Ask about 2hr tutorials for EclipseCon 09'''. Likes the idea of a panel for Mobile. Short talk on TM. Short talk on Packaging. Could participate in a partial tutorial.
 
*** MTJ: Demos, maybe a tutorial, short. A mobile panel would be interesting for the MWG. '''Doug & Eric: Check into panel allocations for EclipseCon 09'''
 
*** NAB: Short talk would be good with a prototype. Also a short talk on Translation Platform.
 
*** DD: Could do a DSF tutorial again. Does this live in CDT or DSDP? Probably CDT. Pawel is also interested in helping in the packaging talk. Perhaps TCF would be good for a 2hr tutorial.
 
*** RTSC: Long talk feedback was great. But showing some stuff would be good, too. A short talk would also be helpful to update status. Not ready for a tutorial yet, though. Martin is tracking down licensing issues now.
 
*** eRCP: Mark to think about.
 
* [[DSDP/Package|Packaging proposal]]
 
** Initial goal is to just get something going. Rather than focus on install, Martin is going to manually assemble the components via shell scripts and then put together a VM image (of Linux) with everything.
 
** Martin will demo this at ESE.
 
** Initial focus is C/C++ technologies (TM, DD, CDT, NAB, TmL, probably RTSC). Biggest decisions is what emulator and what OS. Martin wants to start with QEMU and Linux.
 
** Discussion about RTOS to include. Dave had some ideas on their RTOS and potentially a way to use RTSC. They would like an open source BIOS. '''Dave: Think about DSDP Packaging effort and whether they can release an open source BIOS.'''
 
** Christian: I'm looking at something similar for Mobile. Are you looking at P2/EPP? Martin: no, because we can't put GPL code into EPP projects.

+
*** Bugzilla 3.2 Japanese Template - should be coming soon.
+
*** Japanese work group - will finish Ganymede translation in March. Making a translation platform that will be open source. Babel project knows that they are doing this work. Babel is focused on menu and message. Their translation platform focused on help and other documents.
+
** RTSC
+
*** Trying to setup SVN environment. Martin has helped out. Subversive environment on Windows not working well yet. Linux seems to be working.
+
*** Working on transition to bugzilla.
+
*** Hopefully within the next months, newsgroup activity will start. Still need an internal place for sales questions.
+
*** IPZilla - still working on submission, will ask for parallel IP.
+
** TM
+
*** Tm 3.0.1 done. 3.1 M2 created and delivered on Galileo.
+
*** 3.1 isn't too exciting. Mostly incremental improvements. TCF is a big topic.
+
*** EFS support for transparent access on remote systems is TBD at this point. Potentially some performance problems on remote project refresh. e4 resources promises to fix this.
+
*** (no update) Releng - Nick Boldt is working on moving viewCVS to project dash (among other things). This will be one officially copy, which will allow access from the main web site. Nick is working on a vmware image for automated builds.
+
** TmL
+
*** Release review for TmL 0.1 is ongoing. Code is frozen, IP Logs are approved, PMC approval (thank you). Review session currently slated for Oct 8. Still have some open questions about whether we've done all the work correctly.
+
*** We have a long talk, short talk, and tutorial session submission planned for EC2009. Have sent drafts to Doug for review.
+
*** Fixed the XML project plan to work with the new namespaces.
+
*** In November, there will be 2 commercial products from Motorola released utilizing TmL as plugins. This is a first for us as Motorola had previously used TmL code directly.
+
*** We are closely monitoring the CVS/SVN discussion on the committers list. We voted in July to move to SVN, but had not done so yet. Input from other groups in DSDP is welcome.
+
* Next Meeting: TBD.

    • ese2008: obtained clearance for travel to ese2008 to present RTSC talk
    • Subversive environment: Windows not working well yet. Linux seems to be working, this may be sufficient for now.
    • Transition to bugzilla: got our first bug. Still need to migrate the 100's of existing bugs from ClearQuest to Bugzilla.
    • Transition to newsgroups: posted instructions on all internal lists to use the newsgroup, traffic on internal lists persists, next step is to post scheduled termination of mail lists.
    • IPZilla - still working on submission, will ask for parallel IP.
  • TM
    • 3.1 isn't too exciting. Mostly bugfix work, IBM backporting many 3.1 M3 fixes to 3.0.2 (due late december).
    • Google Summer-of-code CQ approved, will integrate the "Team Synchronization" addition for M4
    • TCF adoption increasing (Anyware-tech, Montavista, Freescale), getting community patches.
    • EFS removed from project plan, which means it's not considered a priority any more. e4 resources promises to fix this.
    • Releng - Nick Boldt / Common Builder (CBI) work ongoing under Dash, TM wants to be an early adopter (some time in december).
  • TmL
    • Released first version of TmL 0.1 on October 10.
    • Plan on releasing TML 0.1.1 this month with some bug fixes needed by MOTODEV Studio.
    • Have submitted a long talk, short talk, and a tutorial session for EC2009.
    • Still no decision on making the change from CVS to SVN.
    • Otavio has investigated TCF as a protocol for transmitting data from /proc filesystem. The results are good, but there is some question about how TCF is built into TM. Otavio had to bring in all of TM to get TCF and he wonders if there is a way to get a smaller part of TM instead.

Old Business

  • Project Plans
    • Open issue raised by Martin O: I recently learned that counter the practice that we have used up to now for defining Themes for our XML project plans, it looks like the Board's original intent was to have the project plan themse aligned "as good as possible" with the Requirements Council Themes & Priorities from RC Themes
    • Do we want to massage our T&P's to match these?
      • Martin: emailed Don and Bjorn about whether they want to enforce this.
      • Doug: the T&P for embedded and mobile haven't changed much from previous years. It's not very compelling for us to align to this. I also thought the T&P were going to be auto-generated from the XML plans.
      • (TO DO) Doug: Review DSDP project T&P and provide Don with some high-level ones.
    • (info from last mtg) Project Plan XML format changed (for namespaces). See Development Resources/Project Plan for details. Now also includes infos on tooling (WTP's XML editor), converting from non-namespace variant, and getting started with the XML.
