== Summary ==

There was a spirited discussion about the meaning of 'project model': 

*What kinds of projects are to be considered (software development only and/or others)?
*What kinds of project-related meta-data should be included or excluded (e.g. project team membership, tool-specific data, build/deploy/sw lifecycle processes, testing, team communication processes, etc)?
*How does Kepler '''include''' rather than replace existing tools?
*How does the Corona work on general 'context container' fit into the generalized notion of a 'project model'

There was agreement that

*Kepler will be focus on defining and implementing a more general notion of project model
*Kepler will look to provide integration of existing tools rather than replacement
*Kepler will include committers and contributors from other Eclipse projects, including (but not limited to) [[Buckminster]], [[Corona]], [[Eclipse Communication Framework Project|ECF]], [[Platform]].  Not all committers will be expected to make frequent code contributions.
*Once the project has been officially started and provisioned Kepler will have regular online and f2f sessions to make progress toward a generalized project model.  These sessions will include all interested parties

== Action Items ==

* Read/review the [http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/kepler/ Kepler Proposal] and submit commits by '''Friday, November 17th''' to the [news://news.eclipse.org/eclipse.technology.kepler Kepler Newsgroup]]
* Corona and Buckminster teams to review each other's ''project model'' and identify any possible ways to establish a common unified ''project model'' [Dennis O'Flynn/Henrick Lindberg]
