     • Peter has set up his accounts and access permissions and has been able to make changes to various parts of the project
     • Is in the process of updating the bits that are out of date
     • Working through graduation plan
     • Got request from new Libra project for additional features (which they will contribute)

     • Costin working with Glyn on getting config admin working in Blueprint
     • New specs (config admin, interceptors, transactions, etc) will all be done in a separate branch
   • Web
     • Violeta from SAP is now a committer on the project
     • She submitted Gemini Web to Fortify and it came back with a clean (secure) bill of health
   • DBAccess
     • Mike did refactoring of DBAccess code to allow simpler and neater platform additions
     • Eclipse project was done on Ganymede and does not seem to work in Helios - Juergen to work out a different project/build structure that works in Helios but does not cause additional bundles to be created.
     • Juergen asked about Project Plan and it was clarified that each subproject should be creating their own project plan
   • JPA
     • No new work has been done since before Christmas
2. Outstanding CQs
   • None outstanding
   • At this stage, new ones will be only be entered if they are needed for test process changes
3. Graduation and Release
   • Project mentors informed us that if projects have independent release schedules and development plans they should have independent reviews. Compromise was that there could be a single review for all of the subprojects, but each could have their own docuware.
   • Before the next meeting projects should have met the milestone of having their IP logs complete, build and test processes documented and decision-making process outlined
4. Decision-making Process
   • Discussed how much influence project leads should have
   • People seemed to agree that Project Leads should have a veto over any decision
   • Individuals exhibiting inappropriate project leadership could be dealt with at the program level
   • Mike to send out a draft of something that we can put on project wiki
5. EclipseCon Workshop
