[Melanie.Woods@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

1) Apologies etc.
Attending:
Mike Norman, Scapa
Gian Franco Bonini, SAP
Don Ebright, Compuware

Observing:
Melanie Woods, Scapa

Apologies:
Rob Sinclair, IBM
George Din, FOKUS
Tyler Thessin, Intel
Harm Sluiman, IBM
Serge Lucio, IBM

2) Minutes and matters arising
Due to a family emergency, Tyler will be unable to engage with the group 
for an, as yet, undetermined period of time. Tyler has requested that 
the group continue to try to move the PMC transition process ahead as 
much as possible. The PMC documents are with Tyler at the moment, 
although the group may need to obtain these from him temporarily to 
facilitate any progress.

3) PMC and Eclipse interaction
As discussed in last week's meeting, the Hyades PMC has been 
restructured, and the PMC is now to be called "Test and Performance 
Tools PMC". Under this, 4 projects will be managed, three relating to 
specific types of activity and the fourth an enabling infrastructure 
known as the Hyades platform. The 3 projects are: Test, Trace & Profile 
and Monitor. Intel has an overall lead role, and looks after the Hyades 
platform, Scapa leads the Test project, IBM leads the Trace project and 
it is yet undecided who will lead the Monitor project. 
Don asked what would be involved in leading a project and shared some 
internal concerns over the scope of the involvement and the resource 
required (development resource, budget requirements, e.g. travel)? It 
was felt that the project lead would manage resource to achieve the 
agreed development goals, e.g. internal resource, some resource 
allocated from other companies' and their contributions to the project, 
identifying shortfalls and trying to find additional resource to cover 
these. Some additional information regarding the specific development 
remit of the monitor project will be provided to Compuware to clarify 
this question.
ACTION: Don to send Tyler's email regarding restructuring the PMC to the 
rest of the group.
ACTION: Mike to identify what would fall into the monitor project remit 
from the recent technical forward plan from the F2F meeting, and the 
current code base, and distribute this to Don and the rest of the group.
ACTION: Mike to indicate approximate figure to Don regarding budget 
requirements for travel etc.

4) Operation of the current plan
Nothing to report

5) Technical forward plan
Nothing to report

6) Internal and external communication
PMC announcement. A draft press release and Q&A materials need to be 
made available by July 5th. Eclipse PR agency can then take these to 
analysts and the media to stimulate interest. Endorsements will be 
required as soon as possible after July 5th, before the embargoed 
release date (c. 19th July) and final release date (c. 2nd August).
ACTION: Tyler, Mike, Ling Yao (Intel) and Melanie to bring draft PR 
materials to the planning group.
