December 2008 Board Meeting
Eclipse Board of Directors just completed our Q4
face-to-face in San Francisco. This was a 2-day meeting jammed with
topics. I’ve focused this tome mostly on the committer-related issues.
Watch for the official board minutes, and my apologies for the length. Board topics:
- Project Plans and the Roadmap
- Industry Working Groups and the Eclipse Mobile Working Group
- Miscellaneous procedural items, including updates on ESE 08 and EclipseCon 09
- The Galileo release and the newly-revived Architecture Council
- Budget and executive compensation review
- EPIC proposal for improvements
- Annual Strategic Developer reports
- Discussion on Strategic Developer contributions to the common good
The Board approved the following amendment to the Eclipse Development Process:
For
any Project to pass a Continuation Review, Graduation Review or Release
Review it must have a current project plan, in the format specified by
the EMO, available to the community.
