Notes

  1. Alpha releases of the binary distributions for Linux, Windows, and Mac are now available at http://www.coin-or.org/Binaries. All are encouraged to download and test these binaries. There will be an announcement to the TLC, SLB, and project manager mailing lists shortly.

  2. The status of the move to subversion has not changed since last meeting. A proposal has been promised by the committee "soon."

  3. Laci has almost completed work on the new build system. It seems to be a vast improvement over the current one, but there is still some work to do.

  4. The proposal for moving grandfathered projects through the acceptance process was accepted by acclimiation. Volunteers were assigned to various projects, as indicated on the LegacyProjects page. It was decided that the Examples directory should be eliminated because it is too hard to maintain. An outstanding issue is what to do about the Makefiles, Win, and Mps directories. This issue was tabled and will be posed to the SLB.

  5. Discussion of proposed procedures for Web site outages was tabled.

  6. There was discussion of the proposed Project Classification Scheme. Consensus was that five is an appropriate number of levels for now. There was a brief discussion of what each of those levels should be and the scheme will be modified to reflect this discussion.

  7. Discussion of procedures for bringing on new project managers was tabled.

  8. The proposed mailing list naming scheme was accepted by acclimation.

  9. The new regular meeting time was set for 3:00 PM EST.

  10. Discussion of next steps was tabled.

Respectfully submitted,

Ted Ralphs, TLC Chair
