[epf-dev] Drafty Agenda for North American F2F

hiho,

 

The North American face-to-face meeting will be November 2 & 3 in Chicago.  The specific location logistics are here: http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/epf-dev/msg01271.html.

 

The meeting will be from 9am to 5pm on Thursday the 2nd and it will start at 9am on Friday.  We will determine the end time on Friday based on the travel plans of the attendees; it will be sometime mid-afternoon.

 

At the last meeting we had some draft agenda items and those were revisited, prioritized and put on the schedule as the first order of business at the meeting.  That worked well.  Here are the topics to be covered at the next face-to-face (in no particular order after the first item)

-          Basic Introductions and decide the specific schedule of the agenda items

-          EPF Process Content universe

o        Identify all process authoring efforts and discuss their dependencies

-          Walk through and flesh out project plan for next release of EPF process content.  Do we have the roadmap we need to get there?

-          Revisit the responsibilities across committers and other contributors.  Will we keep the notion of package owners?  If so, will we keep the current package owners in the same roles?  (This might be scheduled for some time during the F2F when we can get a couple additional committers on the phone)

-          Covansys – Presentation on Work Components donation

-          Discuss additional collateral that should be delivered with a cohesive chunk of process content (what additional information should be available to process engineer consumers?)

-          Additional collateral

-          Revisit existing method authoring guidelines.  Define additional guidelines for OpenUP method work (everything from naming conventions to idioms of “required fields” for process elements to fit into OpenUP as well-behaved citizens of the process repositories)

-          Vision:

o        Discuss OpenUP/Basic Vision and possibly refine or update based on what we have learned.  Clearly define the edges of the Vision such that we have some criteria to help us avoid scope creep.

o        Discuss the Vision of the whole OpenUP community of processes.  What will drive our decisions as to what is included under the EPF project?

-          Discuss cross-cutting issues of OpenUP and define objectives related to them and fit those into the project plan (e.g. “How do we get more principles into tasks/guidelines?” or just some specific issues of consistency)

 

This is just a first cut based on some ideas I had, plus some ideas from today’s conference call, plus some ideas sent to me by other committers.  Please come to the meeting with additional ideas.  If you are going to miss the meeting, please send any additional agenda topics to the epf-dev list.

 

Gotta run to the airport or I won’t be there tomorrow!
