RE: [eclipse.org-architecture-council] Change to scheduled call withBjorn
Hello,
 
an EAC call is scheduled for Thursday next week.
Do we have a real agenda for that call yet?
 
The few suggestions I had made a while back are on the Wiki page,
but is this really what we want to discuss? Any other input?
I'd find it great if we could collect more input on the Wiki page.
 
 
There is, for instance, the old "Top Ten Architectural Problems"
Wiki which lists only five:
 
 
Another interesting topic would be upcoming Eclipse 4.0 -- as the
Platform apparently starts making plans, wouldn't it be a good idea
to include the wider community (in form of the EAC) in these plans?

Cheers,

Hello Architecture Council members,

The every-other-month call for October was scheduled for next Thursday, Oct. 11. Bjorn and several council members will be at Eclipse Summit Europe then, so we need to reschedule the call.

The call will be two weeks later, on Thursday, October 25, at 8am PT, 11am ET, 5pm CET. The wiki (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Architecture_Council#Call_Schedule) has been updated to show the new call time. I hope this will work for the majority of council members. Thanks.

Hello,
 
I have two questions:
1.) The EAC calls had been scheduled bi-monthly (2nd Thursday of every other month). So, usually
     there would not have been a call in September. I'm assuming that we just shift by 1 month, so
     the calls will be Sept.13 / Nov.8 / Jan.10 / March 13 -- ok so far?
 
2.) With the lack of an agenda now, I'm wondering what's the process for composing an agenda.
    Is everyone just supposed to propose topics to cover? Are we going to make initial discussions
    on the mailing list, preparing the phone meeting? Well, here's a couple of topics that I would
    find interesting to discuss:
  • Ganymede build infrastructure - how to achieve continuous integration, unit tests covering the integration of all projects, and consistency across all projects
  • UI Consistency - when I'm not mistaken, the UI Guidelines are being reworked; how can we encourage projects to pick them up.
  • Remote Development - Theoretically, EFS should be the foundation on which workspaces can be put on remote machines, and I do see a lot of interest in this -- but practically, there are some roadblocks. It's a pervasive topic since most projects are not really EFS-aware yet. How to improve the situation?
  • Scripting & Macro Recording - Another pervasive theme, if macro recording & playback is to be supported across an entire Eclipse based product, there need to be guidelines and APIs for projects to follow. It may be a multi-year multi-project effort but it may be worth getting it started.
  • Security - With the number of plugins aver growing, is there a threat of trojans nesting themselves inside Eclipse? Getting a trojan or virus-like plugin into Eclipse can be extremely malicious - from spying to impersonation up to data destruction. Is it a real threat, and is there something that could / should be done?
This is just a first quick list of items that I could imagine discussing, I'm curious to hear what
others think would be worthwile and in the scope of the EAC or what's wasted time or out of
scope.

Cheers,

Subject: [eclipse.org-architecture-council] Architecture Council Thursday -not really happening

Architecture Council members,
With all the vacations this time of year and the lack of an agenda, I'm going to suggest that we don't have our scheduled call tomorrow (Thursday). We'll try to get a quorum and an interesting topic together for our September call.

- Bjorn
