hiho,
On Thursday, 3/30 at 8am PST, there was a conference call on
assigning ownership to BUP content as we modify and complete the IBM donation
for the 1.0 launch scheduled for 9/1/2006.
On the call were:
·
Steve Adolph, UBC
·
Ricardo Balduino, IBM
·
Mark Dickson, Xansas/DSDM Consortium
·
Chris Doyle, Synergy Plus
·
Brian Lyons, Number Six Software,
Inc.
·
Bruce MacIsaac, IBM
·
Jim Ruehl, IBM
·
Chris Sibbald, Telelogic
We decided to have each content package in BUP assigned to a
committer (or – based on duration it is taking – someone on track to
be a committer). We discussed that the templates package is not really a
logical separate area, but only broken out for convenience of process
engineers; each template would be the responsibility of the owner of the
relevant discipline. In this pass the Process is not the focus.
The assignment of a package does not imply that the individual
is solely responsible for authoring all the content. The assignment of
the package is responsibility that the content gets authored.
Based on the participants on the call, the responsible
parties are shown below. One addition is that we have a pending decision
on project management because Kirti Vaidya had proclaimed an interest in that,
but was not on the call.

Ricardo Balduino of IBM will manage the overall architecture
of the process. Based on the way EPF Composer works, Ricardo will be
responsible for managing all relationships between elements. And he is
responsible for creating any additional elements that will subsequently be
assigned to reside in a package.
If you are a committer or on your way to becoming one and
you have an interest in being responsible for cm or development, please reply.
Everyone interested in contributing content should be
getting Eclipse setup for CVS to access BUP. That is the best way to get
the most up-to-date content. This is the real-time development repository
that committers check their work into. Official committers have read-write
access, but anyone can use it to regularly pull the very latest content.
There will be a conference call on Thursday, 4/6 at 8am PST
to discuss updates and status of this work. We have a milestone on 4/15
to be underway with authoring content and have all elements defined (albeit
possibly incomplete). As the various guidelines are often driven by the
detail in the other process elements, we are giving ourselves some leeway in
not strictly baselining those by that date.
