*** Martin: emailed Don and Bjorn about whether they want to enforce this.

*** Doug: the T&P for embedded and mobile haven't changed much from previous years. It's not very compelling for us to align to this. I also thought the T&P were going to be auto-generated from the XML plans.

*** '''Doug: Review DSDP project T&P and provide Don with some high-level ones.'''
 
** (info from last mtg) Project Plan XML format changed (for namespaces). See [[Development Resources/Project Plan]] for details. Now also includes infos on tooling (WTP's XML editor), '''converting from non-namespace variant''', and getting started with the XML.

*** Tml: Short, Long, part of a Tutorial
 +
*** Martin asked about whether we could do multiple topics in the 4hr tutorial. He doesn't want to do another TM tutorial this year, though. '''Doug & Eric: Ask about 2hr tutorials for EclipseCon 09'''. Likes the idea of a panel for Mobile. Short talk on TM. Short talk on Packaging. Could participate in a partial tutorial.
 +
*** MTJ: Demos, maybe a tutorial, short. A mobile panel would be interesting for the MWG. '''Doug & Eric: Check into panel allocations for EclipseCon 09'''
 +
*** NAB: Short talk would be good with a prototype. Also a short talk on Translation Platform.
 +
*** DD: Could do a DSF tutorial again. Does this live in CDT or DSDP? Probably CDT. Pawel is also interested in helping in the packaging talk. Perhaps TCF would be good for a 2hr tutorial.
 +
*** RTSC: Long talk feedback was great. But showing some stuff would be good, too. A short talk would also be helpful to update status. Not ready for a tutorial yet, though. Martin is tracking down licensing issues now.
 +
*** eRCP: Mark to think about.

** Update from Martin

** Initial goal is to just get something going. Rather than focus on install, Martin is going to manually assemble the components via shell scripts and then put together a VM image (of Linux) with everything.
 +
** Martin will demo this at ESE.
 +
** Initial focus is C/C++ technologies (TM, DD, CDT, NAB, TmL, probably RTSC). Biggest decisions is what emulator and what OS. Martin wants to start with QEMU and Linux.
 +
** Discussion about RTOS to include. Dave had some ideas on their RTOS and potentially a way to use RTSC. They would like an open source BIOS. '''Dave: Think about DSDP Packaging effort and whether they can release an open source BIOS.'''
 +
** Christian: I'm looking at something similar for Mobile. Are you looking at P2/EPP? Martin: no, because we can't put GPL code into EPP projects.

*** Preparing for TmL 0.1 Release for September 2008 release.  
+
*** We have a long talk, short talk, and tutorial session submission planned for EC2009. Have sent drafts to Doug for review.
*** Fabio is moving the project source code from CVS to SVN prior to the 0.1 release. As part of this change, he is removing some deprecated sources that are no longer used.  He will modify the automated build scripts and the update site accordingly.
+
*** Fixed the XML project plan to work with the new namespaces.
*** We have a project plan with milestone dates for being on the June 2009 train release. The plan is in XML format on eclipse.org. The Eldorado team in Brazil are working toward these dates.
+
*** In November, there will be 2 commercial products from Motorola released utilizing TmL as plugins. This is a first for us as Motorola had previously used TmL code directly.
*** Motorola is currently integrating TmL into their commercial MOTODEV Studio product(s). Should be finished in October with some code contributions coming into TmL from the Studio teams.
+
*** We are closely monitoring the CVS/SVN discussion on the committers list. We voted in July to move to SVN, but had not done so yet. Input from other groups in DSDP is welcome.
*** Otavio has completed the /proc filesystem proof-of-concept using meminfo. He is currently working on the 'top' command. Once he is done with these two, he will work on providing extension points for other developers to add to this feature. This would be a good place for interns and Summer of Code participants to interact with an Eclipse project.
+
*** We would like to nominate Yu-Fen Ko from MontaVista as a committer once TmL 0.1 is released, based on her contributions to the project. However, she will then be on maternity leave starting some time this fall. The question is how to have her as a committer status "on hold" until she returns after the start of the year.
+
*** Eric and Christian presenting TmL later today (Thursday) at Linux World in SFO.

* Next Meeting: TBD.
