RE: [eclipse.org-architecture-council] EAC Minutes - Aug 14

Martin,

 

Your understanding is basically correct, although the Bylaws are even more specific: it is the Executive Director who designates additional AC, PC and RC members.

 

The process you describe looks good. A few (hopefully helpful) suggestions:

 

·         Rather than the EMO asking the candidate if they are willing to accept the invitation post facto, why doesn’t the nominator check with them beforehand?

·         Should there be some form of vote on the candidates? E.g. a minimum of three +1’s and no -1’s? I don’t feel strongly about this, but it does seem like the proposed approach lacks some “explicitness” (if that is a word J).

Hi Mike,

 

my current understanding is, that only the EMO can appoint members,

and the council itself can propose members to the EMO to get appointed.

Therefore, the way we did this last year (and I think it was a good way

to do it), was this:

 

1. Existing EAC members proposed names of new members on the

    list, asking the other EAC members whether they thought it would

    be good candidates.

 

2. Candidate proposals are discussed on the mailing list,

 

3. If disucssion is positive, candidates are proposed to the EMO

    for appointment.

 

4. The EMO asks candidates whether they would accept their

    invitation to the EAC, and if yes, appoints them.

 

Does this sound good as a process, or am I missing something?

Or are there ways to simplify the process?

 

Cheers,

I am curious if “Everyone to propose new members on the mailing list” really means “appoint them to the architecture council”?

Invitation -- just click on the "I come" or "I won't come" link.

 

Avoid editing the Wiki only while the call is ongoing and 1 hour after,

since this is when the Notestaker makes changes (and needs to

merge otherwise).

Action Items

  • Boris to start a "top 10 architectural best practices" thread on the mailing list - Note that the http://wiki.eclipse.org/Architecture_Council already has a dangling link for a WIki page for this.
  • MichaelS to draft an E-Mail about the "plugin granularity" idea, searching for people to lead the effort
  • Bjorn or Anne to add a "year of appointment" to members on the councils page
  • Martin to draft an E-Mail to eclipse.org-committers for review, inviting to put EAC on CC of bugs
    • Martin to send E-Mail to EAC list as a reminder for "Architectural Walkthrough". Will propose this to the public only when we get one more project so sign up (in addition to mylyn) to make the review by putting together material (slideware, ...)
    • Martin to propose alternate meeting scheme on the mailing list
    • Martin to create bugzilla bugs for the ISchedulingRule and LGPL discussions
  • Everyone to think about time commitments that can be made for "architectural things" at Eclipse
  • Everyone to propose new members on the mailing list

Cheers,
