''Feel free to add your name to the list if you are planning to attend.''
+
* Short introduction
 +
** Boris Bokowski - committer on Platform UI, working for IBM in Ottawa
 +
** Tom Schindl - committer on Platform UI (JFace viewers), based in Austria, working for Bestsolution GmbH
 +
** Matt Carter, NE England, consultant, using data binding
 +
** Kevin McGuire, committer on Platform UI, working for IBM in Ottawa
 +
** Matthew Hall, user of data binding, wrote [http://paperclips.sourceforge.net/ PaperClips] printing library for SWT
 +
** Frank Gerhardt, consultant, based in Germany, consumer, may write an article about data binding
 +
** Michael Scharf, WindRiver, has written a custom data binding library, interested in porting to the Eclipse data binding framework
 +
** Peter Centgraf, Pittsburgh, active bugzilla commenter ;-)
 +
* Mention GWT porting effort by Tom. He is also working on getting EMF common and ecore to work with GWT.
 +
* EclipseCon submissions - still looking for short talks on RCP (and a data binding tutorial? contact Boris if interested)
 +
* Reduce noise in bugzilla by closing obsolete bugs. There seems to be a lot of them, making it hard to know where contributions would be most helpful (Matthew to nag Boris, ideally with a list of bugs to close)
 +
* Brad Reynolds is taking a leave of absence
 +
* Priorities for 3.4
 +
** Improve documentation (Several offered help with wiki pages, Frank may write an eclipse.org article about data binding)
 +
** Shepherd existing (and new) contributions into the codebase, hopefully resulting in new committers (Boris)
 +
*** To protect integrity of Eclipse codebase, contributions by non-committers of over 250 lines of code must be run through an IP review process.  Therefore non-committers who contribute are encouraged to do so in small, incremental steps.  This helps separate concerns and reduce dependencies during the design process anyway.
 +
** Add features:
 +
*** convenience API for creating bindings - bug 203492 Binding builder investigation
 +
*** more reusable validators and converters - bug 197807 and others
 +
*** cell editing support and nested attributes in tables - bug 196785, bug 144260 (Boris)
 +
*** nested attributes (a.b.c) (Frank to ping on the bug)
 +
*** support for trees (Matthew)
 +
** Start work on a new 1.5-specific plugin in the Eclipse Platform incubator (Matt to draft a proposal, work with Peter and Boris). See also bug 197798.
 +
* Random List of other bugs we want to tackle for M4
 +
** bug 208858 better support for moves in observable lists -- Boris
 +
** bug 180746 TextObservableValue should take a delay-argument -- Boris

** ''One or more observables in a set must have a value assigned.''

** ''Value required for one observable if another observable has a value assigned.''

** ''Values required for all observables in a set if any one observable in the set has a value assigned.''

** ''Value not allowed for one observable if an any observable in another set has a value assigned.''
