[wtp-proposal] Re: Eclipse WTP kick-off meeting dates/organization

["Jochen Krause" <jkrause@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dominique,

Thanks for the organisation. The June 14-17 timeframe does not work for us
(Innoopract) as there is an Eclipse conference in Germany June 14-15.

It is going to be very difficult to have everybody available at a single
place and time short term. I would suggest using JavaOne as a place for a
kickoff meeting (1 day, Thursday or Friyday) and organize smaller team
meetings for code reviews, discussions and milestone planning after the
kickoff. The milestone plan would then be finalized by the subproject leads
and the PMC.

In my opinion it would be beneficial to have the interested Platform / JDT
members at the kick-off, this will ease further collaboration a lot.

I agree with Arthur that we should settle on a date and location quickly,
even if not everybody will be able to attend.

Regards

Jochen

Betreff: Eclipse WTP kick-off meeting dates/organization

Hi everybody,

It's time for discussing about the code camp, even if discussions are
subject to board approval!

We need to run the kick-off meeting in June: Summer is a dead zone for
meetings and it would be harder in September/October.

One possibility for dates is: June, 14-17.

According Erich Gamma, we won't have the participation of the Eclipse
platform guys (Eclipse 3.0 priority). But the kick-off meeting is
especially to establish the groundwork for the project. As I see the
organization, the idea behind is to have a second meeting in
September/October with Eclipse platform team for a better integration of
Eclipse projects (of course, if some (?) Eclipse platform team members may
be available for June, they will be welcome, but we can't rely on!)

There is a second possibility.

A Erich Gamma's idea is to have a kick-off meeting in parallel with
JavaOne.

So, what do you think about the different idea ?

The other point is the meeting organization (+/- impacting the dates).

Arthur Ryman has proposed the following agenda:
- 2 days for reviews of the contributions,
- 1 day for planning discussions (plan the initial code base and adopt one
or another component, or merge),
- 1 day for wrap up and consensus.

To quote (again) Arthur: "We could shorten it more if we run the code
reviews in parallel sessions" and "We should leave the meeting with a plan
for Milestone 0, and a roadmap for development".

Thanks for your feed-back/opinion.

Regards,
Dominique De Vito
