February 16, 2022 - Alex, Tom, Jay, Lars, McQ

• IP log done for 2022-03, process might be removed by the foundation in the future
• Auto-closed policy can now be decided by project, project committer can vote on it

January 19, 2022 - Alex, Tom, Jay, Lars, McQ

• Eclipse aggregator build is currently migrated to Github
• Github migration work of the aggregator is documented in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=577323
• The most important PGP work items are done with the help of Ed Merks, some secondary issues are still missing, e.g. such features are shown as unsigned
• JFR Event are discussed in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=578055, PMC members should check so that we can discuss it next week

January 12, 2022 - Alex, Tom, Jay, McQ

• Move to PGP signed content news to IDE WG and Planning Council
  • Well received so far
  • 2022-03 to has the implementation, 2022-06 to do full switch
  • we use PGP for content not delivered to Simrel
  • Ed helps with implementation/bug fixes
  • only concern is critical CVE - that would require either help or PGP signed content being pushed to 2022-03
    • To be further discussed if such an issue happens
• ECF relation
  • Project is heavily under resourced
  • No one knows good reason to still be using Apache Httpclient, Java HttpClient is not tried out and the previous JVM Http code had severe limitations
  • Development falling out on Platform releng for updates to Apache Httpclient, Windows proxy support and etc. is a no-go
  • Possible plan
    • Create Java Httpclient based connector for ECF or enhance the current default one to use Httpclient and not Httpconnection - removes need to update Apache Httpclient dependency, take care of windows specific bundles with JNA dependency and so on
    • If previous doesn't uncover limitation in Java's Httpclient stop shipping Apache Httpclient connector
    • Assuming 2 previous complete - look if it makes sense to not have ECF as a dependency at all to skip one cyclic dependency
