According to Mike M, we can have an Eclipse.org project with the intended scope
Proposal + Newsgroup can be ready by Eclipsecon
CDT already has a p2 toolchain installer as optional component; Wascana uses this to materialize mingw and libs from their original site; Read Doug Schaefers Blog about the details
Bob agrees to become project lead of the Packaging Project
Martin agrees to become 1st Mentor
Doug Gaff agrees to become 2nd Mentor
Project Name just DSDP Packaging Project but could also be more elaborate e.g. like Modeling Amalgamation, ...
Packaging versus "product" - need to consider bug 261365
Scope of the project is
Bringing Communities together
Evangelizing Eclipse as the Framework for the overall embedded Platform
Enabling external sites to become distros of their stuff (Silicon Vendors, ...)
This is a slightly different direction than originally proposed (but it's cool!)
Action Items
Martin to rearrange Wiki contents such that proposal can fit in there
Bob to create initial proposal based on templates already supplied by Martin
Martin to E-Mail Mike and Bjorn asking when proposal needs to be ready such that
Martin to create initial EclipseCon talk slide, about history of the project; compare and contrast to EPP; highlight the different obstacles to address.
Next Meeting
Will follow up mostly by E-Mail.
Reserved Friday Mar 13 at 9am PST for a meeting (likely not needed).
