Submit Ballot PRs

David will send a note to Project Spec Leads mailing list pointing out the need for PR Ballot, Process, and Deadlines. Friday, July 12 is the deadline for Draft PRs for all Specifications.

Use GitHub workflow to our advantage. Use PR Reviews/Approvals process to tally votes.

TCK Education Meeting (July 15)

Q&A session on the TCK process. Fairly well received. Arjan provided most of the questions. Most projects reps on the call indicated that individual TCK jobs were on the horizon.

Projects 15 discussion

https://github.com/orgs/eclipse-ee4j/projects/15

Dmitry will send a note to Spec Project Leads asking them to update the issues associated with this Project dashboard. The issues need to be assigned to an individual or have some items checked off (x of 6 work items) to be considered “In Progress”. Getting to 5 of 6 checkmarks is the end game for now. When all votes tallied, then we can do Step 6 and promote to Maven Central.

(Nothing else covered from this point on…)

Update 07/16/2019: David provided a script for creating boilerplate Specs for all of the remaining Spec repos. Thank you! These initial updates were merged and then further refined by the individual Projects.

Tracking

https://github.com/orgs/eclipse-ee4j/projects/15

The skeleton spec documents are a requirement for the Jakarta EE 8 release! Suggestion to shorten the review period for the specs in order to be able to make it. Spec committee?

Licenses

Should everything in a github repo have the same license? Question for Wayne for clarification. In the spec folder, there is a different license, pom.xml and project itself What is the right approach? Dmitry posts on the pmc list.

Versioning

Planning to release spec using the same version number API jars have different versions. PMC recommends:

Spec+API have same version
Umbrella spec ref other specs by major.minor
patch/service releases may never change the api

TCK should be discussed on the spec committee

Next Meeting
