[epf-dev] Meeting Minutes from May 8 Conference Call for OpenUP/Basic Content Authors

hiho,

 

Here are the meeting minutes from the May 8 Conference Call for OpenUP/Basic Content Authors.

 

Participants:
Ricardo Balduino

Mark Dickson

Per Kroll

Brian Lyons

Ana Valente Pereira

Chris Sibbald

Kirti Vaidya

 

Context:

Bugs were created for the architecturally-significant changes for each package.  Here “architecturally-significant” means the existence of elements, their relationships to other elements, and their names and brief descriptions.  We have been focusing on methodology content with a package for each discipline plus one for overarching features.

 

These bugs were targeted for closure at the last milestone.

 

At this point we are working on completing the process elements and we should open bugs for the authoring of the content.  The bugs will be at a granularity of reasonable work to be assigned to one person and completed within an iteration.  This ends up being “typically just larger than one element” where a very small set of interrelated elements are assigned to be authored in one bug.  The idea is to have something like a work items list where the summation of the open bugs covers the authoring of all identified content.

 

Per-Discipline Status:

 

There was a lot of talk on the call regarding specific bugs for content authoring and their status.  As this area of discussion was at all levels of abstraction and had gaps, I have left out that level of detail (with two exceptions).  Please keep track of the bugs via bugzilla.

 

Requirements

-          Updated content in based on conference calls.  Content has been incorporated into baseline available for download.

-          Discipline-level bug was closed.

-          A number of bugs for authoring content are open.

-          Summary: moving along alright.

 

CM

-          Updated content in based on conference calls.  Content has been incorporated into baseline available for download.

-          Discipline-level bug for architecturally-significant changes was closed.

-          CM stuff is harmonized with Work Items List (WIL).  Changes to WIL might require updates to CM method content.

-          There is detail in all method elements.  No open bugs

 

Architecture

-          Updated content in based on conference calls.  Content has been incorporated into baseline available for download.

-          Still need to write content.  Need bugs for content authoring.

-          Comments coming in raising the question of whether we are moving too far from the Unified Process discipline structure.  This will be discussed via epf-dev and at the May 15 face-to-face meeting.

 

Development

-          Ownership has changed hands and this discipline is behind.

-          The architecturally significant bug is still open.

 

Test

-          One plug-in was authored and it required changes based on review.  Updated content needs to be submitted.

-          The architecturally significant bug is still open.  After changes have been made and pushed out, it will be closed.

-          Need to create bugs for authoring content.

 

Project Management

-          Updated content in based on conference calls.  Content has been incorporated into baseline available for download.

-          Discipline-level bug for architecturally-significant changes was closed.

-          Need to create bugs for authoring content.  Plan to create these this week.

 

Overarching

-          A set of elements were created based on conference calls.

-          Package-level bug for architecturally-significant changes was closed.

-          Created bugs for areas of work to be performed and those have been parceled out to owners.

-          Work performed includes creation of a welcome page.

 

Deployment discipline

-          Bug (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=140074) was created to add a deployment discipline.

-          This is a notable change and will be discussed at face-to-face meeting on May 15.

-          If accepted, structure will be done by end of M3 (June 1).

 

MDD Plug-in

-          Although beyond the scope of this OpenUP/Basic call, it was noted that ESI has uploaded plug-in to bug (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=138867).

-          All process authors are welcomed to review and provide commentary.

 

Action Items:

 

We need to get to a point where we can close all “architecturally-significant” bugs.

We should have bugs to cover all content authoring work before the face-to-face on May 15.

There should be additional coverage of CVS usage issues at face-to-face.
