The agenda for the Planning Council is (to date) three items:
- Callisto.
You all are/will be done with Callisto on the 29th. However, we will
still have a couple items to discuss:
- How/when to make the final "final bits" announcement.
- How are we going to handle dot releases? Are we going to have
Callisto-dot releases or is each project just going to do their own?
Will we use the same update site?
- Some retrospective on the Callisto experience - the good, the
bad, and the we'll-be-better-next-time
- Europa.
Callisto has been/will be a great success. We'll probably want to do
this again next year. I've arbitrarily chosen "Europa" for next year's
code name (because it's the next easiest to pronounce major moon of
Jupiter :-). While we might not want to do all the planning for Europa
at this meeting, I think we should at least "plan to make a plan" for
Europa. We can talk a bit about the must/should rules, a bit about
coordinating builds, synchronizing schedules, etc.
- EclipseCon.
The program committee for EclipseCon 2007 will include you all.
Basically, it just makes sense for the experts on each project (that's
you) to choose the tutorials, long talks, short talks, and demos for
that project. Each major Eclipse project PMC will be given a set of
slots - you can recruit content, you can choose from submitted content,
etc. Anyway, I'll explain the rationale for this and your role in the
process.
Look forward to seeing you there...
Bjorn
P.S. The next Council meetings will be in Stuttgart Oct 10-11-12 in
conjunction with our first Eclipse Summit Europe.
