Agree. I proposed an initial welcome
page and roadmap for OpenUP/Basic, as you can find in CVS today (I'll post
published web site tomorrow). Feedback is welcome.

>- What should we do about principles
& practices? Steve has suggested a number of practices for collaboration,
but that makes it look uneven, so we should consider adding practices also
for other principles. Which ones? Also, what should practices look like?
Should we think of using them as practices being aspects for process configuration,
similar to EssUP? 

I'll speak for myself here. I got the
iterative development principle to write about, and I thought I could leverage
what Per and Bruce wrote in their recent - fresh from the oven - published
book (a little ad here guys:-), where they present principles and practices
for software development.
In terms of iterative dev, I thought
we could elaborate on these lines, maybe including some catchy phrases:

Principle: Demonstrate Value
Iteratively 
Practice:    Manage Risk:
"attack risks, or they will attack you!"
Practice:    Build Your
Project in iterations: "divide and conquer"
Practice:    Embrace
and Manage Change: "don't write it on the stone"
Practice:    Measure
Progress Objectively: "are we
there yet?"

Just a bit of food for thought, I'll
try to propose something more elaborated soon.

Hi, 

Patrik Johnson will join, representing Ivar Jacobson International. DJ
could not make it. Patrik would like to continue the discussion we started
in last F2F regarding how to integrate EssUP and OpenUP/Basic. I suggest
we cover that topic on Tuesday. 

Some other topics to consider when we discuss agenda on Monday morning:
- Walk through what needs to be done for Sep release and who is doing what.
We previously brought up adding a short iteration ending Sep 30. Is that
necessary? 
- What are the views we should use to present OpenUP. This will have a
huge impact on the look & feel of the process 
- What should we do about principles & practices? Steve has suggested
a number of practices for collaboration, but that makes it look uneven,
so we should consider adding practices also for other principles. Which
ones? Also, what shoudl practices look like? Should we think of using them
as practices being aspects for process configuration, similar to EssUP?
- VBSE (assuming USC is attending). Getting it into OpenUP.
- Working on the Process Component concept 
- MDD review. Have a group walk through the proposed plug-in and write
down suggestions for improvements 

... 

Cheers

Agenda (informal – I assume we will adjust it during the Monday morning
status meeting) 
  
Monday 
9:00am  - Lunch: 
            Brief welcome (and demos?)
            Status report from each committer
            Statement of objectives for F2F.
  
After Lunch – 5:00 
            Break out into work groups along
discipline lines 
-        general
and overarching issues 
-        architecture
-        project
management 
-        quality
-        requirements
management 
  
Dinner possibly at a really good sushi joint…..for those not into sushi,
well we’ll figure out something for you….:-) 
  
  
Tuesday 
9:00am – Lunch 
            Break out into work groups along
discipline lines 
-        general
and overarching issues 
-        architecture
-        project
management 
-        quality
-        requirements
management 
  
After Lunch – 5:00 
            Regroup and plan objectives for
next iteration milestones 
            Plan next F2F
            Plan outreach activities
  
Dinner possibly at a hip waterfront restaurant (Carderos? Sandbar?)
  
  
Wednesday 
9:00 am – Lunch 
            General and overarching issues
collaborative workshop. 
            This half day session to set
objectives for developing content for the collaborative and other overarching
issues. 
  
  
  
The agenda is fairly fluid and will likely change. Also just to note, I
will miss the Tuesday morning session because I have a class – remember
I’m a student J
  
  
Contrary to what we said before, we WILL be providing morning snacks (e.g.
coffee, muffins, etc) and light lunch (sandwiches, pizza…). 
  
With respect to the overarching issues and collaborative content, I will
send a note this weekend outlining possible activities and objectives.
  
I will send details mid next week showing the location of our facilities
at UBC and best routes from the hotels to UBC. 
  
The hotels we are using are the Sheraton Wall Center, The Metropolitan,
and The Four Seasons. These hotels are within three blocks of each other
(the Four Seasons and Metropolitan are across from each other). Vancouver’s
shopping, restaurant, and bar districts are all within walking distance.
  
Looking forward to seeing you all in Vancouver, 
Steve
