Assessment of SR2
Potential (near?) negative impact on adopters:
- Some "late"
- Modeling EMF ?CDO? missed deadline
- DTP final zips late (sort of)?
- Not all projects had maintenance/rebuilds (do we need to explicitly "plan" for that?)
- EclipseLink (thought they would not need an SR2, but after all decided they will need maintenance ... in March or so! ... apparently, this team has pattern of creating their service release shortly after the rest of us release?)
- PDT (PHP Tools) didn't have an SR2, but I saw one user on mailing list saying "he sure thought they needed one, based on important fixes made in Helios, that could be back ported ... its a long time to wait" (I've no idea if he was accurate ... just raising as an example that caught my attention).
- Potential for some Orbit Jars to not be consistent in some packages vs. others, if not everyone re-builds or re-packages. (Just one or two substantial changes, this time, but all others changed signatures).
- There were nearly equal numbers of projects that supplied service, vs. those that did not
- service released in SR2
- actf.build
- birt.build

- Any other concerns with SR2?
Good things:
- Maintained "old" content (SR1) in repository (in addition to new)
- Rolled out P2 artifacts before P2 metadata (instead of artifacts and metadata visible at same time)
- Any other positive things with SR2 to document?
Helios
- Common repository naming/structure bug 291637
- I want to recommend "guidelines" that may become "required" next year (but not for Helios)
- I want to recommend naming of /<project>/repository/<release>/[SRn | datetimestamp]/
- where 'project' is high level project (Top level? except Tools and Technology?)
- where 'release' is Yearly Release name ... only for those in yearly release.
- Also, do we agree that projects in release train can omit feature update URL, if they would like to (since the common one is built into platform). We need less "repository locations" clutter. Risk is it would be a little harder to provide off-cycle maintenance (users would need to add project location to their list).
Cross-Project Teams
Aggregation
Planning Council/Cross Project Teams/Aggregation
Previously planned meeting didn't happen ... and after some email exchanges, nothing concrete seemed needed.
Tracking progress and compliance
Review readiness of current version on Portal
Comments? Ok to move forward? Does anyone prefer Plan B or Plan C?
ToDo Items
(volunteers welcome)
- create (and update) helios container plan (Wayne (re) volunteered)
- coordinate community input for next year's name (Oliver says last year this was started "shortly before EclipseCon" ... so, no rush).
- provide concrete instructions for (new) license-consistency requirement (John Arthorne).
Next Meeting
- EclispeCon 3/21 2:00 PM Pacific Time, in the Bayshore room of the Hyatt Santa Clara
- April 7, Wednesday, Noon Eastern Time.
