• Symbian - Javier Montalvo Orús
• Wind River - Martin Oberhuber, Uwe Stieber, Michael Scharf, Ted Williams

This is an Open call, so anyone else can join (though we expect the talk to be interesting for committers only).

Notes

• Our top goals
  • Grow the Communities - active users and adopters --> tutorial, docs, mailinglist help: being responsive
  • Get the APIs Right --> enable public API discussion --> ISV docs, Wiki API discussion, [api] bugzilla's
  • Get our Processes in place --> JUnit, nightly builds, infocenter, update site

News & Review Action Items

Upcoming Work

• Update on Plan items:
  • 170909 (DaveD) User Actions: Merging into RSE - tough part is integrating Persistence with the new Persistence Manager (3-4 days); then, testing & fixing & unittests (3-4 days); DaveD with help from Kushal
  • 170923 (DaveD) UI/Non-UI splitting: DaveD until EMO Review is done for UA, most critical right now; DaveD has a plan, can do it alone
  • 170932 (DaveD) Default Persistence Provider: will need some minor API changes, mostly additions; try to finish for M6, if things go wrong M7 is also OK
  • 170936 (DaveD) Macintosh - machine for unittests?
  • 170926 (DaveM) Improve IFileService: mostly done; Returnvalue for copy; Streams for dstore; Streams on the Subsystem Layer
  • 150498 More service-oriented; Multiple subsystems of the same kind - any architectural limitations? DaveM: There might be extenders having problems with multiple
    • Martin: NewConnectionWizard whould allow for "No subsystems"; DaveD: want to be able to get it back later? Martin: not necessarily
  • 170911 Discovery
    • Not discussed since Javier is not here
  • 170916 (Kushal) EFS
  • 170918 Improve SystemType and Wizard
    • Kushal: Get rid of the name, better have Properties
    • DaveD: There is quite a lot of usage of the Name at the moment instead of ID; there might be some Persistence usage! This might require us to still keep the name for some time in order to maintain Workspace compatibility
  • 170922 Optimize RSE API

• Top priority is getting API things done for M6. Plan items are currently more important than bug priorities.
  • 173042 (Uwe) Improved / pluggable Refresh
  • 170922 (DaveM, Martin) Making as much as possible "internal"
  • 170915 (DaveM) Getting rid of Platform "internal" access
  • add unit tests for all new or modified API

Other Stuff to Do

• • 1. API Improvements
    • SystemType improvements; retargetable actions/commands;
    • Asynchronous API/callbacks; How is the client informed about job completion?
    • IHostShell changes for Terminal;
  • 2. Play well with the Platform
    • retargetable actions/commands; capabilities; icu4j; Orbit; ssh prefs; drag&drop
  • 3. Improve overall quality (unit tests; special characters; long filenames; background jobs; parallel access; logging; ...)
  • 4. New Features
    • Terminal-in-rse; Persistence-as-xmlfile; Service enablement
  • Remove RSE Performance Logging; place contents of logging into core
  • Reduce number of plugins (once UI/Non-UI separation is done, have e.g. ssh.core and ssh.ui but not more)
    • Move org.eclipse.rse.connectorservice.local into org.eclipse.rse.subsystems.core
    • org.eclipse.rse.subsystems.core (collapse files.core, processes.core, shells.core)
    • org.eclipse.rse.subsystems.dstore (collapse files.dstore, processes.dsore, shells.dstore)
• Add Montavista shell processes subsystem
  • Orbit bundles to be added differently
  • Unittests to run every night
  • Version Number Changes to be done by Martin
  • Copyright Year Changes
• General code cleanup -- to do right after M4:
  • Get rid of unused icons, e.g. rse.ui/icons/full/obj16/system390_obj.gif, IBM_logo.gif
  • Get rid of commented out source code
  • Get rid of unused properties (chkpii)

Communications

• Europa Requirements
  • Avoiding non-API from other projects
    • AI create bugzilla against CDT
  • Update Wiki to explian whether SDK contains examples --> AI Martin wait for Platform and adapt
• For bugs, see the bug process page (assigned to inbox, plan items, status new, hi-priority, API, open with patch, assigned to M5) -- pretty many right now
• Update Copyright Year to 2007 if you happen to think about it
• (done) Fix N-builds (second workspace, use Ted's scripts)
• Please continue on Compiler Warnings
• Change Requests
• Vacations, Holidays etc.
• Free discussion -- feelings, comments, critics
