I'm dumbfounded. I can't fathom why Dani, Matthias, and Martin are not already on the AC.

Alexander was nominated and received overwhelming support for appointment, but it looks like the last bit of follow up never happened. I've given that a kick.

Pascal has previously been on the AC as a member company representative, and I swear that we had started the nomination process for him to be appointed last year, but don't see it in the archive.

Max is listed as a mentor for Andmore. This oversight is completely my fault; normally I check this sort of thing, but must have just assumed he was a member. So I'll add him to my "I'm dumbfounded" list.

It's high-time to nominate Lars as well.

If there is no objection, I'd like to nominate you all for appointment to the AC.

Appointment to the AC is a recognition that you've been a pretty big deal to the Eclipse Community. In practical terms, this will put you the AC mailing list and invite you to join the monthly calls. This will also give you the ability to volunteer to mentor new projects, though there is no specific requirement to do so.

If you'd rather not join the AC, please let me know either via this list or private email before May 14.

The nomination process starts by bringing up the nomination on the call. If there is consensus, we initiate a public discussion on the mailing list; the the results of that public discussion are sent to Mike with a recommendation to appoint. I'm pretty sure that he's equally dumbfounded that you're not all already members.

I'm thinking that the need for the Platform Vision group to meet on a bi-weekly basis has passed.

I believe that everything that we've been talking about lately is appropriate for a more general audience, e.g. the Architecture Council.

Everybody that is actively participating in this group is either on the AC or should be.

Is there any objection to suspending our biweekly call in favour of adding content to the monthly AC call?

The Eclipse Foundation has engaged with UX experts to review the initial user experience with Eclipse. This includes the website, download, and installation process. Ideally, we'd like to look at the Welcome page as well, but I'm pretty sure that we don't have the resources right now to actually implement any changes.

Pascal is working on code changes and tests to various parts of Eclipse (p2, launcher, tycho) including changing the Mac layout and packaging as a .dmg file. It would be great if Pascal can elaborate on the call.

We've the UX experts on the Oomph Installer. Eike and--with help from Yatta--put some serious UX work into the installer. Eike presented it to the UX folks last week. I am concerned that some of the the project descriptions (e.g. targets) in the Oomph repository have gotten stale. Keeping these up to date is a challenge that we (collectively) need to address.

The "profiles" work that we've been investigating is an extension to the Oomph notion of packages and configurations. A profile is a higher level concept that combines the package definition with the workspace configuration. The idea is to make it possible for users to snapshot and share their profiles. This also includes the ability to capture and share preferences. I'm not happy with the term "profile" as it suggests personal information (e.g. Facebook profile), but we haven't come up with an alternative. We've decided to defer profiles, as there just isn't enough time for Mars.

Buildship (Gradle) CQs have been created and we have code. The Planning Council has rejected their inclusion in Mars. We've engaged to Tools PMC to attempt an appeal. Any ideas you  might have are welcome.

I'd like to talk a bit about the composition of the "Eclipse Project" Marketplace.
