[Doug Schaefer <cdtdoug@xxxxxxxxx>]

Attendees: Marc (Ericsson), James (Broadcom), Leo (Intel), Pawel (Wind River), Bill (Intel), John (Freescale), Jeff (Red Hat), Mikhail (CodeSourcery), Elena (QNX), Ken (Nokia), and probably a few others.

- 7.0 Status

-- DSF/GDB parity (Marc)

--- progress is good but slowing

--- Need to prioritize what's left, do big things by RC0, littler "bugs" by release, and then even to Sept's 7.0.1.

--- Engage the community via the newsgroup to get beta testers and to help with prioritization

-- Supported toolchains (Doug)

--- We should finally defined a set of recommended version line ups for gcc for the various hosts we support

--- Document it in the user docs, and on the web site

--- Define versions for Cygwin, MinGW (Wascana), select Linux distros, Mac.

-- New & Noteworthy (Doug)

--- Doug to start and get input from team

- EclipseCon Recap

-- A good time was had by all

-- Hope more can make it next time

-- A great place to meet other CDT contributors and even a few users and learn about other Eclipse technologies

- CDT Summit

-- We skipped last year due to travel restrictions

-- It would be good to start it up again this year

--- again in the fall (late Sept?) before going too deep into next release

-- Need an agenda and a location

-- Agenda items could include:

--- Debug wars part deux (DSF/GDB versus DSF/EDC/TCF versus Flex Hierarchy/EDC2/TCF or something)

--- Codan checker-fest

--- Supporting real developers, CDT as an end-user IDE rather than platform, e.g. Wascana, Mac, Qt, Linux, Embedded-cross

--- What to do with profiling/trace

-- Locations could include anywhere but best if one of the vendors host

--- We've done Ottawa and Toronto in the past. Austin is another idea.

-- Who can make it?

Let us know if I missed something.
