Community

  • Recruiting - Jess has reached out to other companies and received an initial positive response.

Process

  • ATF Openness topic from mailing list?

    See the original post, and its follow-up replies.

    Raghu to put together a checklist for how to lower the barrier to participation for all projects.

  • JSF libraries and the WTP charter. Need clarification.

    All agreed that a charter change is unnecessary. Interpretation of the charter is as follows: We cannot develop tools for just one runtime, and a specific runtime cannot be required. The runtime needs to be swappable. This holds for the JSF case, as Apache MyFaces will also work.

  • Refactoring WTP
    • Latest draft
    • Should Releng be under Common? All agreed that it should be separate.
    • All agreed we are ready for public review, later today.
  • Eclipse Membership on two JCP groups ( JSR-220 and JSR-314)

    On hold till 8/13. This item should stay on the agenda until it is resolved.

Quality

  • Bug backlog: not too much progress yet, but it is getting publicized. Neil to have more info next week.
