Subject	[eclipse-dev] Planning Meeting Notes - Jan 17, 2007

---------- 
 Outreach 
---------- 

- Darin attended and presented at DSDP meeting in Toronto:
  - 32 attendees from 9 companies 
  - http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/DSDP/DD/Face-to-face_Toronto_9-10-Jan-2007
  - presented 3.3 asynch viewer framework, debug command handlers,
    and launch framework enhancements
  - Wind River is working on a contribution for debug view "pin
& clone" 
    support (bug 145635) 

------------------ 
 Discussion Topic 
------------------ 

Runtime: 
- Build notes.  Most components have either stale build notes, or
they 
  just contain bugzilla queries that consumers can do themselves.
 There 
  is also very little consistency between components.  What should
build 
  notes contain?  Is there a way we can structure our build notes
that 
  minimizes the pain of updating them while maximizing community benefit?
  Should we scrap them entirely and just have an ongoing draft of
New & 
  Noteworthy included with each build?
