      • Our July 11 webcast has been posted to EclipseLive

    • SAN Simulator contribution
      • With the imminent loading of the SAN Simulator code into our cvs libraries, we need to start thinking about the items we need to do to contribute and manage a new component as well as tracking this new component in our status meeting.
      • Brainstorming of the items we need to do:
        • SAN Simulator team has renamed packages and copyright statements
        • Craig has volunteered to load the code into cvs – location an issue?
          • Where will the code be located?
        • Build, configuration and install
        • Testing
        • Download page - new section
        • Documentation review – installation and user documentation
        • Enhancements – planned by contributors as well as identified by Aperi team and users
        • Need to create a new Bugzilla component
        • Hold a design and architecture review/code review
        • Provide a product overview & demo
        • Discussed the idea of an Aperi super project with SAN Simulator and SRM components/bundles
          • Look at other projects and how they handle this
      • Restructure a section in the meeting to track all of these items – integrate into our schedule
    • Third Party Contribution Questionnaires
      • None this week
    • Process reviews

Item Owner Target Status
Obtain two mentors Tom 8/15/07 Per new development process rules, we need to obtain two project mentors. Tom has started a list of [http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Mentors potential mentor names. Harm Sluiman has agreed to be out mentor. Tom talked to Harm a few weeks ago. Tom is searching for additional candidate.
Aperi Forum Tom 7/19/07 Suggested by Javier. Investigate setting up forums for Aperi communication. Looked into ibpfree.com. Basic function was there, but the administration was complex and general use did not seem intuitive. Looked into freepowerboards.com Friendly, easy to use, familiar to more forum users. Also includes a chat tool. Set up a sample forum http://www.freepowerboards.com/dhiwa/ Take a look and provide feedback. Would like to set up an Aperi forum there.
Document Control Tom 7/31/07 Write up text for Aperi document control.
Lessons Learned Follow-up Tom 8/03/07 Put results of Lessons Learned meeting for R0.3 into a table on the wiki with corresponding action items
cvs download statistics Tom 7/31/07 Investigate if we can get any numbers for our source code downloads.
