Re: [epf-dev] Status from 3/30 BUP call with authors

Sorry for missing the call.  Darn client stuff keeps getting in the way.  ;-)

Anyway, I'm in the process of filling out the comitter paperwork, so I'll hopefully be up and running early next week.

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.

Steve Adolph, UBC

Kirti Vaidya, Covansys (pending)

Chris Sibbald, Telelogic

Brian Lyons, Number Six Software

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.

                                               ------------ b
