Re: [science-iwg] Unconference at EclipseCon Europe 2016
|
Nice list guys! I'm sorry I'll miss the meeting.
I think you already know this, but for some of the things like "road map for the next x months," please keep in mind that they affect the whole group and you should consider what you discuss provisional until the steering committee and the whole group has a chance to review it.
Also, for the Eclipse for scientists thing, we have discussed this many times. The answer is yes and the plan has been to do that for our second release, or a later one, if possible. That's why our first release is about unifying so much of our architecture; we need to make everything work together to create that big, combined product. After we can make that big product, we would basically join up with the simrel. My hope is that we can do all of this for Oxygen next year, but that might be pushing it. Some of the challenges include getting all the participating projects on the same dev version/target, identifying all the pieces, providing some amount of common API, etc. With the latter, we don't want a situation where, for example, we have multiple tools with the exact same functionality (like multiple plotting tools) crammed into the product with multiple APIs.
Apologies for typos; I just woke up!
