Hello folks,
Here are the minutes to the meeting. Thank you all for coming. We had some new faces today so it was nice to see members of the wider CDT community. Anyone is welcome to join these calls and it is really useful to hear from all of you.

Minutes
CDT 11.1.0
- Jonah gave a status update on CDT 11.1.0, summarized as all in hand for release next week
CDT LSP
- Gesa gave a demo of Eclipse CDT LSP - LSP based C/C++ Editor
- Discussion on how to migrate this into the Eclipse CDT project without affecting the development velocity.
- Bringing Gesa and Christian on as CDT committers is required to fully migrate. This is similar to how Martin became a committer when he contributed parts of cmake4eclipse to CDT.
- Action: Jonah to work with Gesa on a plan and timeline
- Discussion on making this accessible as early preview to non-Eclipse developers as the current code requires running from source. The early version is already quite
- Likely this will happen as part of migrating the code into the Eclipse CDT project where it can be made available on download.eclipse.org as a p2 site.
- Action: Jonah to help facilitate this, probably in alignment with migration plan
- Roadmap of CDT for LSP discussed, including items such as:
- AST support going forward, clangd provides some AST extensions, can this be exposed to front end in CDT?
- Codan support, can Codan and clangd exist simultaneously?
- CMake / clangd project natures
- Smart importer
- Action: Jonah to build on the TODO section in the README to give visibility to interested parties what can and what will be done
