Previous meeting minutes

Review previous meeting minutes if you'd like. That is, review them before the meeting, but if questions or issues with previous minutes, this would be a good time to bring them up.

Neon maintenance

No new issues

Oxygen Planning

The following projects have dropped out of the simultaneous release:

Andmore - Eclipse Android Tooling
Eclipse Gyrex Project
Eclipse Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF) Tooling
Riena Project

The GMF Notation Project will merge with GMF Runtime (See bug 509485):

Eclipse Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF) Notation
Eclipse Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF) Runtime

The EMF Transaction, Validation, and Query projects will merge and reboot (see bug 509487).

We have not heard definitively from these projects:

Data Tools Platform
Thym
Lua Development Tools (LDT)

The Data Tools project currently has a single active committer. Neil Hauge is (reportedly) investigating options for bringing resources to Data Tools. The Data Tools project is no longer acting as a top-level project and so will likely be moved into a subproject of either Tools or Web Tools (see bug 510140).

New Business

The EMO is in the process of identifying a new Planning Council Chair. We are hopeful that we'll have this resolved in time for a new Chair to take over in July 2017 (immediately post-Oxygen). In the meantime, Wayne Beaton will assume the Planning Council Chair role on an interim basis.

Fred Gurr will--effective immediately--take over primary responsibility for release engineering in the simultaneous release.
