DSDP/Packaging/Meetings/March 5 2009
Contents
Attendees
- Bob Frankel, Dave Russo, Martin Oberhuber
Notes
- Martin Results
- 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
- Creating an SF project is simple - Wascana Project page, Wascana Homepage
- Bob Results
- Bob applied for Sourceforge project in parallel (not yet provisioned) - may be helpful for first steps
- Questions and ideas
- What kind of hyperlinking from Eclipse.org to other places is possible?
- Martin: This is under investigation by the Eclipse IP Advisory board now:
- See bug 246945
- See Architecture Council/Things Committers Should Know/Staging#Links to non-eclipse.org content
- See Subversive Downloads Page
- 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
- What kind of hyperlinking from Eclipse.org to other places is possible?
- 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).
