2) Minutes and matters arising
Nothing to report

3) PMC and Eclipse interaction
The Eclipse planning, requirements and architecture councils will meet 
in the next couple of weeks. As Mike is unable to attend these meetings 
in person, Tyler will attend on his behalf.
An email will be sent to hyades-dev to request suggestions for 
requirements in the post 3.1 release timeframe before the council 
meetings.
The committers lists are to be finalised and this information made 
available.
An Eclipse Contributor meeting was held last week. Amongst other items, 
the move from CPL to EPL was discussed. This transition is expected to 
happen around the 3.1 release timeframe. Clarification of the TPTP 
requirements regarding this transition is required.
Additionally, the Eclipse infrastructure is being moved from IBM hosted 
machines to Eclipse-owned equipment. A request to use some monitoring 
capabilities from TPTP has been received. Clarification of long-term 
requirements is necessary before any resource is assigned to this area.
ACTION: Mike to email hyades-dev to request suggestions of new 
requirements
ACTION: Tyler to finalise the committers list
ACTION: All to discuss the transition to EPL
ACTION: Tyler, Harm and Mike to discuss long-term monitoring 
requirements with Mike Milinkovich and the Eclipse systems administrator

4) Operation of the current plan
A few fixes will go into what will be the final drop of the 3.0.1 
release. There may be a maintenance release to follow this.
There is an immediate requirement for specifications documents for 
particular areas. Harm will send 'owners' of these areas of code a note 
to make them aware of the documentation that is required. These 
specification documents will go through a review cycle with the other 
lead committers, then emailed to the hyades-dev and finally made 
available on the website.
Some work needs to be done on the group structure, to identify specific 
activities that are to be covered by individuals.
ACTION: Harm to email lead committers with requirements for 
specifications documents.

5) Technical forward plan
The next F2F is still proposed for w/c September 27th. Final decisions 
over attendees need to be taken, including any newly-engaged project 
members. The agenda for this meeting will have to take any new member 
engagements into consideration.
The draft Eclipse 3.1 release schedule has been made available on the 
Eclipse.org website. Discussion regarding TPTP alignment with the 
Eclipse 3.1 release milestones needs to take place.
A new Eclipse Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT) project 
is currently under discussion. It is expected that TPTP will integrate 
with this new project with regard to reporting, in particular. This is 
currently envisaged for the post-version 4 timeframe. Engagement between 
the two projects should be instigated soon, certainly before the BIRT 
project review stage to establish whether the project intends to use EMF 
etc.
ACTION: Tyler to make final decision on who should attend F2F
ACTION: Tyler to create and distribute F2F meeting agenda
ACTION: All to discuss implications of Eclipse 3.1 release schedule next 
week
ACTION: All to discuss and arrange to review integration options with 
the Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools project.

6) Internal and external communication
Mike has drafted the terms and conditions associated with the marketing 
communications group for the project and will circulate these to the 
planning group, Eclipse marketing team and PR team leads, Mike 
Milinkovich and Ian Skerrett for feedback. It is hoped that the creation 
of this group will help smooth out the processes associated with news 
releases, events and other marketing communications activities.
Discussions regarding EclipseCon 2005 are getting underway. Mike has 
been invited to participate in the EclipseCon program committee, and 
will feed details back into the TPTP planning group.
Tyler has emailed Barbara Stewart at Patterson & Associates to advise on 
arranging a follow-up briefing call with Cameron Haight at Gartner.
The PMC is making arrangements to speak to a number of companies who 
have shown some interest in the project.
ACTION: Mike to circulate marketing communications group terms and 
conditions document
ACTION: Tyler to follow up with potential new members to arrange 
briefing calls or meetings.
