RE: [eclipse.org-planning-council] Council meetings next week

["Gaff, Doug" <doug.gaff@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

 

Yes, I remember that discussion.  To be honest, I didn’t mentally think of it as such a hard requirement, but I also don’t feel a particularly strong need to be “on the train” for this cycle.  Rather, I would like to release in parallel.  I brought this up because all of the projects have dependencies to the 3.2 Platform and TM has some dependency on CDT.  So we’ll have to be aligned with the train whether or not we’re actually on it.

 

Sorry to cause stress.

 

Doug

Despite the earlier decision to limit passengers on the train, what is the downside of letting these folks board?

 

Thanks,

Doug,
When we formed Callisto at the last meeting, we decided (http://www.eclipse.org/org/councils/20050823PCMinutes.html) that "participation in this initial train is limited - not everyone who wants to join will be able to join this year. Assuming success, the process will be opened to additional projects next year. ... What does it mean to be "on" or "off" the train? First, any project is welcome to release simultaneously with any other project. The existence of the release train does not prevent, e.g., Mylar, from releasing at the same time as the Platform."

Hence MTJ and NAB are welcome to release simultaneously with Callisto, but will not be included in Callisto this year. (Unless the Council changes its decision.) Sorry and FYI.

FYI, I have a couple of sub-projects in incubation right now (Mobile Tools for Java and Native Application Builder) that have expressed interest in being on the Callisto train.  The Target Management project also hopes to release some code in this timeframe.  This is new information from the last planning meeting.
