Budget for 2019
The Eclipse Foundation is looking to have a commitment
to a multi-year budget by Sept 15. Feedback from participants
is requested.
Per Dan, members should begin the process of internal
discussions.
Eclipse looking initially on:
a) total size of budget of WG
b) prioritization of line items
EF policy is that WG dues/fees will be structured based on size
of company. There may be charges for participant members,
strategic members, etc. That needs to be decided by the WG.
Examples of other similar groups and their budgets was
requested. Dan's input was that the budget was reasonably
typical for such efforts. He will look to see if there is any
public data he can provide via form 990s or other.
EF is also beginning planning for Jakarta One. Expect to be
distributing a planning structure for this event over the next
1-2 weeks. Planning for web conference can proceed
independently of the physical conference planning.
Build Process
The Eclipse Foundation uses CloudBees/Jenkins
Enterprise. Changing from this to something currently used
internally by Oracle would be a problem. However, this
concern was addressed in the build meeting. Resolved.
Other Business
Is the process for posting Steering Committee minutes
publicly at the Jakarta EE Working Group web site in place.
Not yet. Working as possible.
Reminder - the June 12 (next week) and July 3
Steering Committee meetings are cancelled.
