When I sent this note out last week, I meant our next regularly
scheduled meeting which is next Wednesday.
Having said that, if you're available and keen to chat to day, let
us know and I'll make it happen.

Let's defer until next week. I'll send out a meeting notice.

The Eclipse Foundation has engaged with UX experts to review the
initial user experience with Eclipse. This includes the website,
download, and installation process. Ideally, we'd like to look
at the Welcome page as well, but I'm pretty sure that we don't
have the resources right now to actually implement any changes.
Pascal is working on code changes and tests to various parts of
Eclipse (p2, launcher, tycho) including changing the Mac layout
and packaging as a .dmg file. It would be great if Pascal can
elaborate on the call.
I need to engage the UX experts on the Oomph Installer. At this
point, I don't believe that there have been any significant
changes in Oomph. I am concerned that some of the the project
descriptions (e.g. targets) have gotten stale. Keeping these up
to date is a challenge that we need to address.
The "profiles" work that we've been investigating is an
extension to the Oomph notion of packages and configurations. A
profile is a higher level concept that combines the package
definition with the workspace configuration. The idea is to make
it possible for users to snapshot and share their profiles. This
also includes the ability to capture and share preferences. I'm
not happy with the term "profile" as it suggests personal
information (e.g. Facebook profile), but we haven't come up with
an alternative. We've decided to defer profiles, as there just
isn't enough time for Mars.
Buildship (Gradle) CQs have been created and we're waiting on
project code. I have expected that "any day now" for about two
weeks. I remain cautiously optimistic that we'll see the code
soon and get builds into Mars shortly.
Other ongoing work.
Thanks,
Wayne
