Re: [rt-pmc] LTS Readiness Criteria for Runtime Projects

Hi Andrew

Virgo is currently planning not to join the Kepler release train on the basis of the unanimous agreement below to decouple LTS readiness from the simultaneous release. Since there doesn't seem to have been a formal change of policy for LTS readiness, I would be grateful if the LTS Steering Committee would explicitly approve Virgo for LTS participation so that we won't have to scramble to join the release train late if the change of policy takes much longer to be made.

Also, please could you also tell me whether minutes of the LTS steering committee meetings are being posted anywhere? If not, I for one would certainly like that to happen so the Eclipse community can keep in touch with how things are going.

Thanks!

Regards,
Glyn

Thanks Andrew! I didn't notice any posts on this to lts-iwg@xxxxxxxxxxx. Please could you tell me if there's another mailing list and where I might peruse the minutes of the meetings so far.

(No-one replied to my plea below "... and let me know that this has been done" so I was left in the dark. I guess everyone on the Steering Committer thought it was someone else's job to reply.)

Hi Glyn,

Thank you for reminding us that we're overdue for an update on this.

The LTS steering committee has been meeting regularly (weekly with some disruption from holidays, etc) and iterating a proposal to address this. Our next meeting is this week.

I believe it is fair to say there is unanimous agreement to decouple LTS readiness from the simultaneous release.

We're currently working on the protocol for the Steering committee to decide upon bringing projects into LTS. This is the top priority item on the agenda for our meetings.

Hi Andrew

I've heard nothing since I sent the email a month ago. Please could you let me know if the LTS Steering Committee has received the item and put it on an agenda or otherwise what is going on? Thanks!

It's two weeks since I sent this email and I haven't seen any response or acknowledgement. Please could the leader of the LTS Steering Committee let me know when this topic will be discussed?

Thanks.

The RT PMC's list of Simultaneous Release requirements that need not be LTS readiness criteria for runtime projects is available in the minutes of the RT PMC for 17 October 2012 ([1]).

I would be grateful if the LTS Steering Committee would:

(a) vote to approve Virgo for participation in LTS without it necessarily participating in the simultaneous release (as per [2]).
(b) consider the above input of the RT PMC and amend [2] appropriately.

Please let me know if you need anything else from the RT PMC.

Since I do not have the email addresses of all the members of the LTS Steering Committee and I can't tell whether they all subscribe to this list, I would be grateful if someone on this list could forward this email to the Steering Committee and let me know that has been done.

Regards,
Glyn

Subject: Virog in LTS (minutes)

Minutes: Virgo in LTS (September, 25)
 
Participants: Karsten Schmidt, Jochen Krause, Glyn Normington, Andrew Ross, Boris Kapuaranov, Jesse McConnell, Thomas Rasteter,Jutta Bindewald
 
Problem: Runtime projects usually do not participate in the simultaneous release (SR) because SR consists of IDE components.
 
In the case of Virgo only a small subset belongs to SR.
After some discussion there was general agreement to extract the appropriate requirements from the SR requirement list to the LTS readiness definition instead of the existing  requirement that the project is released as part of SR.
There was a discussion if it makes sense to require in general that components in the LTS have to be bundles.
There was general agreement that also runtime projects shall be eligible to participate in LTS.
 
 
Next steps: The RT PMC provides a list of the SR requirements that make no sense for runtime projects. This list will be sent to the steering committee (Pat Huff, Jochen Krause, Thomas Rastetter and Paul  Lipton). The steering committee will in its first meeting planned for October attempt to discuss and potentially decide the Virgo case and enter into the general discussion about LTS readiness definition especially for runtime projects.
