Apologies to all for the failed teleconference. The hangout went OK except for the normal glitches that these things usually end up having. I’ll work with the Eclipse IT gang to see if we can get it restored. (BTW, just received word McQ ran into the same
thing for his call).
I’ll do a quick minutes here:
- The biggest item was Jeff’s plan to introduce a patch that enables build and debug inside Docker containers. He’s going to give us a demo at some point and produce the patch. We’ll try to get it into Oxygen, but time is getting tight.
- I also wonder if this leads us to one of the whole grail of remote projects done correctly. It would be cool to support the Windows Subsystem for Linux over ssh reusing some of this code as an example.
- Jonah has some API changes coming for DSF to help with custom integrations.
- Oxygen M7 is just under two weeks away. Other than Jeff’s Docker stuff and Jonah’s API work, not sure what else people are doing feature-wise, but make sure it’s done by then. I’m just bug fixing as I use CMake for some things. There might be some Qt changes
coming as well, but probably not until Oxygen.1.
Personally, I’d like to thank everyone for their hard work over the last few years. We released the latest Momentics release to our customers and they’ve been pretty happy with it. This is why we do open source so we can all help each other and succeed
together.
I am currently working on some internal prototypes to learn more about Electron and HTML4/node.js as a tools platform. It’s not an IDE, but I am hoping to work on an Arduino IDE using this technology to be able to share something in the open and share
lessons learned at EclipseCon Europe.
In the meantime, our customers are pretty happy with Eclipse and CDT for now so there’s not a lot of pressure to join Ericsson and their pursuit of a new (yet another?) Web-based IDE so we’ll be here for a while :).
BTW, it would be great if others can respond with their status for those who couldn’t make the call and from those who weren’t on it. Being open about what we’re working on helps build community. The loss of Ericsson hurts, but there are still a lot of
companies and people with a vested interest in having a good CDT who could come help.
Cheers,
Doug
