                                    Problem: Runtime projects
                                      usually do not participate in the
                                      simultaneous release (SR) because
                                      SR consists of IDE components.
                                     
                                    In the case of Virgo only a
                                      small subset belongs to SR.
                                    After some discussion there was
                                      general agreement to extract the
                                      appropriate requirements from the
                                      SR requirement list to the LTS
                                      readiness definition instead of
                                      the existing  requirement that the
                                      project is released as part of SR.
                                    There was a discussion if it
                                      makes sense to require in general
                                      that components in the LTS have to
                                      be bundles.
                                    There was general agreement
                                      that also runtime projects shall
                                      be eligible to participate in LTS.
                                     
                                     
                                    Next steps: The RT PMC provides
                                      a list of the SR requirements that
                                      make no sense for runtime
                                      projects. This list will be sent
                                      to the steering committee (Pat
                                      Huff, Jochen Krause, Thomas
                                      Rastetter and Paul  Lipton). The
                                      steering committee will in its
                                      first meeting planned for October
                                      attempt to discuss and potentially
                                      decide the Virgo case and enter
                                      into the general discussion about
                                      LTS readiness definition
                                      especially for runtime projects.
