Equinox Minutes - 20080108

Eclipse 3.4 M5

• Eclipse 3.4 M5 is February 8
• we need to take inventory and start locking down what is going to be in 3.4
• 4 areas of concern for our team: provisioning, security, PDE/Build, api tooling
• for the security work, need to take into account the length of time to graduate from the incubator
• everything needs to be IP clean before it can be graduated
• Ganymede CQs need to be submitted end of January
• need to take into account that this is the date they are submitted to the foundation, not necessarily the date that they will be cleared by
• Action: by the January 22 call we should all have a plan for 3.4 and know our IP status

Other work

• what happened to the console work that we talked about at the Equinox Summit?
• Jazz folk are interested in the command-line work
  • have a running agent that executes a command line that is passed to it
• pulling the console implementation out of the system bundle
  • where are we with this?
  • problems with assumptions about org.osgi vs org.eclipse and importing things
  • need to work on consolidation as well...everyone has their own console implementation

Security

• Tim is working on signature verification in p2...does this cross over with the security work that is being done?
• yes, there is overlap here
• need to talk to Matt and Tom
