Review of Minutes from Prior Meeting
- The meeting minutes from the 5/15 meeting were approved.
- To move the discussion faster, we agreed that in future
meetings, the secretary (me) will move that if there are no
objections, that the minutes of the prior meeting be
approved. If there are no objections, the minutes shall be
considered approved.
Marketing Committee Update
- Briefly discussed the draft of the 5/17 Marketing Committee
Meeting Minutes.
Highlights are that the group is working on a Jakarta EE
Marketing Mission Statement and Social Media Guidelines.
Making good progress. Still a couple of weeks away from
creating a calendar.
Interesting blog
from Tomitribe.
Will Lyons and David Delabassee presented and interviewed
on Java EE and Jakarta EE at Java Day Tokyo
Spec Committee Update
- Briefly discussed the draft of 5/15 Spec Committee meeting
minutes
Good progress is being made. Working on Eclipse
Foundation Specification Process: Goals and Requirements v2
Technical Vision Update/PMC
- This topic was discussed at the PMC meeting today (5/22).
The new plan/intent for PMC is to publish a proposed mission
document, for Jakarta EE as a whole, by the end of the week,
for community feedback. This will build on some of the
thoughts included in Dmitry's blog post on Jakarta
EE Technical Directions. The goal is not to
dictate a direction, but to provide a strawman for community
feedback.
Status of Oracle Contributions
Wayne circulated a detailed status update for all
projects See e-mail attached subject: "[jakarta.ee-steering]
Status of EE4J Projects". During the Steering Committee
discussion he realized there were some errors in this report,
and that some projects that were listed as "awaiting project
creation on June 6" have already been created.
To reset, here is the high-level status of EE4J projects (as of
midday 5/22) according to the link above:
- 39 project proposals have been created
- 26 project committers and reources have been provisioned
- 18 of these projects have initial contributions provided
to the Eclipse IP team
- 15 of these projects have the initial contribution pushed
to the Git Repository
Oracle received internal approval last week for our
third batch of contributions. We expect a series of
contributions this week that will result in updates and progress
reflected in the status link above, and the high-level status
reflected in the bullets above.
Recruitment of new members; Elections
No updates on election process. Paul will be
following up on Enterprise recruitment with vendors this week.
Legal Documents
No significant updates from the last meeting
Oracle and EF have a meeting scheduled in the first week of June
Budget for 2019
From prior meeting minutes: "Mike requested that a
new recurring topic be added to steering committee agenda:
Budget for 2019. This will be ongoing discussion for the next
several meetings. In general, this should conclude in September.
The Eclipse Foundation uses a Calendar year for fiscal
management (FY = CY). Paul will cascade this to other
committees."
We agreed to defer the discussion to next week. Paul
and Mike will draft an initial statement.
Other Business
Mike will be doing a JCP EC update on Jakarta EE on
May 24
Mike has "set up a Jakarata EE Steering Committee Google Team
Drive. For SC members and alternates who want access to this,
please email me your Google id email address and I will add you
to the access list."
The Steering Committee agreed to post minutes publicly at the
Jakarta EE Working Group web site. Finding the minutes in the
current WG archive is too hard.
The Steering Committee recommends that the Spec Committee and
Marketing Committee post minutes publicly as well, in the manner
that they prefer.
Mike floated the idea of a "Jakarta One" web conference this
fall (either Sept or Nov/Dec). There was positive response from
the Steering Committee. The Eclipse Foundation will pursue
this idea.
