hiho,
Here is an initial agenda for the face to face meeting of
the OpenUP/Basic contributors that will be held on Thursday and Friday, August
10 and 11. The meetings will be at the Telelogic facility at 11911 Freedom Drive, Suite 1180, Reston VA, 20190. Chris Sibbald has been
working out logistics such as room size and breakfast; if you are coming and
have not done some sort of RSVP, please send a message so he has a good head
count.
Thursday (9am – 5pm):
9-10
-
Greetings, introductions, and
collaboration and commitment on the actual
agenda we will follow.
10-11 – Review process
-
Walk through content guidance (and
update live as necessary)
-
Walk through review process
including its impact on our burndown
11-12 – Burndown
-
Walk through burndown spreadsheet
and verify everyone’s understanding and acceptance of it as a management
and reporting tool.
-
Make any necessary updates live
1-3:30 – Breakouts for Review
-
Select portions of the EPF content
and conduct some reviews in small groups and pairs. I’m thinking
this can be along the lines of an hour each of reviewing two packages with us
broken up into three groups.
3:30-4:30 – Review retrospective
-
Discuss review process to drive
consistency moving forward. We might want to do a pass at this in the
midpoint of the breakout sessions for faster feedback.
4:30 - 5- Wiki
-
See live demo of OpenUP/Wiki and
discuss (as preparation it would be good for all participants to have created
an account at http://lcmglab.xs4all.nl).
Friday (9am – 4pm)
9 - 11 – Process Architecture
-
Discuss Per Kroll’s suggestions
on process architecture (as related to this bug with a number of attachments: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=152354)
-
Discuss modifications and updates
feasible for OpenUP/Basic v1.0
-
Discuss updates appropriate for the
next release
-
Prepare a clear response on what is
accepted and any elements that are not accepted as-is in his suggestion.
11 - 12 - Outreach
-
Discuss outreach as we approach
release (SD Best Practices conference, podcasts, other conferences, periodicals,
OpenUP collateral, authoring of white papers, training, press activity)
Afternoon:
Devise plan moving forward that gets us to our 1.0 release.
Cover other topics as we desire including
-
Brainstorming on pending tool
features and additional features we have identified based on our usage
-
Discussion of extensibility of
process using the tool, possibly producing a minimal plug-in that demonstrates
our suggested technique(s).
-
Doing a walkthrough of something
from Work-Item/Feature identification to integration and verification
-
Walk through and improve the look
and feel, possibly leading to new bugs
-
Other package-specific issues that
should be worked out in a group.
Note the first agenda item on figuring out the actual agenda
we will shoot for. I have attempted to integrate the handful of responses
I got to my first set of topics but I’m expecting the participants will
look at this and have ideas for improvement.
There isn’t really time for any homework, but I would
like each package owner to be ready to say “This small set of related
elements is RESOLVED in bugzilla and appropriate for review”.
