Minutes

Agenda Review and roll call

Minutes and summary from previous meetings

The meeting minutes and summary for the August meeting were approved after minor corrections to the attendance record.

Electronic vote results

The chair reported the results of an electronic vote on a motion proposed by Apache and seconded by Intel addressing the use of Field Of Use clauses in TCK licenses. The text of the motion was:

"TCK licenses must not be used to discriminate against or restrict compatible implementations of Java specifications by including field of use restrictions on the tested implementations or otherwise.  Licenses containing such limitations do not meet the requirements of the JSPA, the agreement under which the JCP operates, and violate the expectations of the Java community that JCP specs can be openly implemented."

The results were:

  • ME EC: 13 in favor, 1 against, 2 ineligible to vote
  • SE/EE EC: 13 in favor, 1 against, 2 ineligible to vote

The Chair informed the EC that the PMO will take no further action on this motion.

Personnel changes

None to record.

JSR stats

Patrick Curran presented the usual monthly update on JSR statistics.

Election status

The chair reported that the PMO was in the process of finalizing the nominations for ratified seats in the EC elections that were scheduled begin on October 2.

Logistics for future meetings

Members discussed the location of the December face-to-face meeting and possible adjustments to the schedules for 2009. The EC agreed to maintain the current schedule for monthly teleconferences to accomodate the geographic dispersion of the EC teams.

Moving on with JSR 306

The EC discussed the possibility of making progress on JSR 306.

Improving spec quality

Patrick Curran led a brief discussion on the possibility of providing some training for spec leads on best practices for improving spec quality.

Next meeting
