Additional Topics

[Not necessarily in order ... before the meeting, the Program Chair can blend with main list and order them depending on overall priorities.]

  • Do we have an accurate, active Planning Council member list?
  • What's the connection between simultaneous release, EPP packages, and Planning Council? That is, what is our (Planning Council) response to bug 238960? Is it "none of our business"? and EPP can do what they want? If we (Planning Council) do play a role, then what is the connection of packages to the yearly simultaneous release? That is, should we "insist" on one opportunity per year to create packages? Or, should we have more than one semi-simultaneous release to accommodate "off cycle" projects?
  • Let's pick a new name for the 2009 simultaneous release. Just kidding!!! But, we should discuss what the process is. Do we, Planning Council want to decide ourselves (for a 2010 release)? It appears "the community" really, really! likes participating. Should we just always have a yearly "contest" like we did the first year?
  • When should we document the "must do" lists for Galileo Release? I'd assume we'd want to raise the bar a bit, so should be done done soon so Projects can plan/decide if they want to and be able to participate.

  • Look into having a "name that train" contest to coincide with EclipseCon each year (artwork as well?) (Bjorn)
