General Topics

• Welcome Bernd Kolb
  • Bernd was not on the call, so Wayne took a few minutes to talk about Bernd's past and ongoing contributions to the AC. Bernd had represented a strategic member on the AC in the past; he probably should have been nominated immediately after that role was changed as he was an active mentor at the time. This is something that we need to keep in mind in the future.
• Eclipse Infrastructure - git, Gerrit, Maven, Hudson, Bugzilla, ...
  • Wayne discussed some of the work that's been done by the IT team with regard to hosting project repositories on GitHub, including hooks to check for CLAs, and set up GitHub groups to ensure that only designated committers can push to official project repositories.
• Marcel: Logging at Eclipse
  • AFAICT SLF4J allows reading the configuration and dynamic reconfiguration of the system (with limitations). Proposing
    • a small "logging center" based on SLF4J that allows to change log levels at runtime,
    • offering a GSOC to create a prototype which can be presented to the larger eclipse community to drive the discussion.
    • Goal/question for this meeting: is SLF4J the technology a broader logging solution should be based on?
• New member candidates
  • Three new members were discussed. Doug and Andrew will formally nominate one, Wayne will formally nominate the others.
• Updates from the Board or the EMO
  • No board members were in attendance.
  • Wayne offered that he informally understands that the revisions to the EDP have been approved by the board.
