Past business / action items:

• Approval of minutes from July 31st meeting deferred to next week

Agenda:

• Specification PR Pre-reviews

• Refer to Specification Project PR  assignments and plan

• Discussion: PR Review Process

• Assign 2 spec committee reviewers to each specification [PaulB]

• Assigned spec committee reviewer will:

•  provide feedback, answer questions

•  once satisfied with the spec’s PRs one of the reviewers takes the draft label off the PRs.

• Once the draft label is off and then the spec is ready for the final pre-review step by the committee in the next call

• The final pre-review step occurs in the call and if successful goes to Ballot 

• Action: Add an interim Monday Spec Committee call for noon ET [Tanja]

• Status: The above process was applied to the Jakarta Dependency Injection spec and it was approved to go to Ballot

• CDI api staging issue. There is a release staged under https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/central_bundles-18505. For the cdi-tck project testing and interim release builds I'm adding this to the poms:

   <repositories>

      <repository>

        <id>cdi-api-staging</id>

        <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/central_bundles-18505</url>

      </repository>

    </repositories>

• Notes: 

• We could create an alternate org.eclipse.ee4j:parent pom 1.0.6 release that includes this that projects that depend on the cdi-api could use to workaround the current staging issue.

• Will create a PR to create this parent pom and email out that dependencies should update to unblock.
