FEEP
Paul White started the meeting with a status report on FEEP.
- We can only do as much work as there are funds available.
- We've been receiving a steady stream of donations (consistent year over year)
- ~$125K from last year's donations
- Hired (moved) Mikael Barbero into development role.
- Technical leader, but will do some development
- Prioritize work
- Point of contact for contractors
- (Ed) Suggested that we let the community vote with dollars
- (Paul) There are some challenges with this approach; we haven't explored this yet
- Need to learn lessons from other orgs
- FEEP work is staffed by Paul, Mike, Mikael, and Wayne
- FEEP work done/in-progress
- Ed worked on improving start up times
- Obeo is working on autosave
- Fabio is working on dark theme
- Patrick Suzzi is doing bug triage for the platform
- Will fix low-hanging fruit, validate bugs, close bugs that need to be closed, etc.
- (Ian) Will FEEP money go to the entire commit chain?
- (Paul) No (not necessarily)
- (Doug) FEEP funding is no more special than an employer paying you to contribute
First technical discussion of the day:
- (Ed) Dark theme just can't work. Technically not possible.
- Must wrestle with SWT Platform fidelity.
- Technical challenges are daunting
- (Paul) People are trying to use it
- Message that we're trying to send is to move it forward
- (Eike) We (collectively) need to create a document that describes how to do theming
