[cross-project-issues-dev] Re: EclipseCon memory stick and Ganymede M5

[Bjorn Freeman-Benson <bjorn.freeman-benson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Title: New Page 1

Here are the facts so far:

1. The following teams have said yes to a slightly compressed schedule in order to fit the M5 EPP packages on the EclipseCon USB memory stick:
1. TPTP
2. Modeling
3. DSDP/DD
4. Buckminster
5. Mylyn
6. DTP
   
2. The following teams have said no to a compressed schedule:
   
1. Webtools
3. Some projects (such as BIRT) are not included in EPP packages and thus would not be included on the memory stick. Of course community members and project leaders are welcome to create new packages (see Ian's email) and be included.
   
4. Because we are buying so many memory sticks, our meeting planners convinced the memory stick suppliers to accept Feb 22 (absolute drop dead date) for us to supply the bits.
5. We can include approximately eight packages on the USB memory stick. Currently there four packages (C, Java, JEE, RCP), thus we could include two operating systems for each of those four. Win32 is our number one download, so I think it's obvious that we would include at least the Win32 packages.

Thus I propose:

• The +3 projects agree to produce their M5 bits on the +2 date of Feb 18
• The EPP builds will be on Feb 19
  
• That gives us Feb 20 and 21 (Wednesday and Thursday) to test the packages and decide if they are good enough to be "milestone quality"

Any objections?
