Present: Christian, Goktug, Julien, Justin, Leif, Thomas, Colin, Bhaskar

• Removing Sencha affiliation for Justin, no replacement from Sencha being considered at this time
• Christian has moved on from RedHat
  • nominated Max Barkley from RedHat to join the committee, agreed on by all present, Colin will reach out for the next meeting.
• Julien: Elemental2 and generator
  • in the process of being open sourced
  • will be on the google github org
  • jsinterop base/annotations will be managed together, removed from gwt codebase
  • tentatively expected to be done by end of Q2
• GWT 2.9 planning - topics will be followed up in gwt-contrib
• Discussion around removing dev mode as part of 2.9
  • For:
    • while present, JsInterop cannot be used within gwt-user beyond jre emul
    • in addition to never supporting jsinterop, dev mode will also not support new jre emul (e.g. Objects.equals)
  • Against:
    • We presently don’t backport fixes - only latest GWT 2 will contain fixes, and removing dev mode may discourage projects from updating
    • Maintenance costs are fairly minimal
    • Forces substantal improvements to gwt-user to take place outside of the gwt repository, as we expect to be the default in gwt 3+
  • Discussion will continue
