Spec Committee Meeting Minutes Oct 17th, 2018

[Mike Milinkovich <mike.milinkovich@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

I think today's agenda is pretty simple:

1. Approve the minutes of our Oct. 17th meeting (pasted below).
   
2. Approve the Eclipse Foundation Specification Process v1.0 (PDF also attached).
   
3. Discuss any modifications that this committee wants to make before adopting the Jakarta EE Specification Process v1.0. One option could be to simply adopt the EF Spec Process as is, and then make modifications as necessary going forward.
   
4. Decide if we still need the extra call scheduled for tomorrow.
   

See you at https://eclipse.zoom.us/j/102354706 at noon Eastern (e.g. in ~1 hour).
