[epf-dev] RE: European Committer Meeting in Bilbao March 6&7


Hi,

modified the "To" distribution list so it roughly reflects who has indicated they will come, or I think may have an interest in coming. Again, please let me and Asier know asap if you intend to come.

1) If you are not already on epf-dev mailing list, please sign up asap. It only takes 30 sec.

2) I suggest that people do the following preparation before the meeting:
a) On http://www.eclipse.org/epf/, go through all the papers and recordings under Getting Started. Note that this will take you a couple of hours, Since many of you already have this knowlege, I think it is a waste of peoples time to walk through it during the meeting.
b) Download and install the tool, see http://www.eclipse.org/epf/downloads.php
Play around with the tool as appropriate. Review BUP so you know what is there (and maybe more importantly, what is not there!)

3) Suggested agenda items, feedback is appreciated:
Monday AM
  • Introductions
  • Quick walkthrough of how the project is organized. What exists today? Who is a part of the project? Walkthrough of dev plan.
  • Each company walks through what they want to contribute. The more specific you can be, the better. Ideally something like "We would like to improve BUP in the area of MDA. We have the following material available to use as a baseline. This would mean that we could foresee adding this type of content to BUP <list>, " Or, "We would like to add agile practices around team collaboration, such as guidelines around "TDD, Information Radiators, and Office space layouts that work" <10-30 min, no corporate pitches, please>
Monday PM
  • Continue company contribution walkthrough if not done.
  • Identify issues that needs discussion
  • Identify workgroups, either around current subprojects, or around even more specific domains. If 4 committers want to do MDA stuff, maybe they would discuss if they have the same view of what to add. Discuss what can be done
Monday night
  • Team dinner - A key aspect of the meeting is to network. Make sure to also leverage breaks to learn to know each other!

Tuesday AM
  • Discuss some of the issues raised previous day (such as a need for more info on what it means ot be a committer...)
  • Continue work groups
  • Present action plans for each work group
Tuesday PM
  • Discuss and agree to execution. Future F2F meetings, weekly meetings, ...


Cheers

RE: European Committer Meeting in Bilbao March 6&7





Hi Per,
we are delighted with hosting this meeting! ;-)

I'm just back from a business trip and I'm having a lot of problems with my computer, so excuse me if my reactions are a bit slow these days.

Sure I need help with the agenda, in fact I guess it is better any of you leading the projects let me know what sessions you need and I will take care of the schedule and so on. So, can you please start a draft agenda?

Regarding travelling and accomodation, I will send you complete details tomorrow. Nevertheless for those needing a quick answer: Bilbao has an international airport with direct flights from main european cities (code BIO), ESI is very close to the airport and best option is a taxi ride (aprox 12 to 14€). Tomorrow I will send info on the hotels. If you need any special info, please let me know it.

Best regards,
Asier.

                Hi,
               
                more people could do March 6 & 7 than any other date, so let's do it then. Asier / ESI, thank you again for your generous offer to host!
               
                I suggest that everybody sends a note to Asier, cc:ing me regarding whether you intend to come, and how many people he should expect from each company. This allows Asier to book a conf room of the right size. I will post a note on the newsgroup to further advertise the meeting.
               
                Please send Asier and me a note if you want to help shape the agenda. Also, if you have specific suggestions for agenda items, please let us know. I will work with Asier on producing a first draft agenda for circulation next week, including travel info.
               
                My list of tentative attendees / my guess (you still need to confirm, even if below info happen to be correct):

                *                 SEI, 3-5 people
                *                 Capgemini, 2-3 people
                *                 IBM, 2-3 people
                *                 2-pro mentor, 1 person
                *                 Catalysts, 1 person
                *                 Methodpark, 2 people
                *                 Ana Valente (not sure what company name), 1 person on March 7
                *                 Telelogic,1 person
                *                 Softeam, 1 person on March 6

                TOTAL: 12-18 people
               
                Also, we should expect more to join once we have announced the meeting at the newsgroup.
               
                Thanks

                Hi Per,
                 
                Our offer still stands as long as we can secure the dates as soon as possible. I have just checked and we still have rooms availability, but I don't know for how long, and the provided date range (Feb 27 - March 17) is too broad for me to block the resources. I could do this if it would be a couple of options (two or three blocks of two days), but I cannot block them for three weeks without a good reason.
                So, once decided it will be at ESI, we need to decide on dates, or at least a couple of options, ASAP.
                 
                Regarding our attendance, we keep our numbers (3-5) and from what I can see right now we have full availability except for March 1st.
                 
                Please, keep me updated on dates constraints so I can try to pre-block some dates.
                 
                Best regards,

                Asier Azaceta

                Importance: High
               
               
                Hi,
               
                we have now decided that we would like to have the committer meering in Bilbao. Asier / ESI, thank you very much for your generous offer to host the meeting. I hope your offer still stands even if we need to move the date.
               
                It seemed to be impossible to get enough people to warrant a meeting in Feb, so I think we should target 2 days during Feb 27 - March 17.
               
                1) Note that we plan to have a committer meeting in California week of March 20 (still tentative), so pls also confirm that you find it to be useful to have a European meeting even if it is so close to the European meeting. My assumption is that several of you would not attend a meeting in California (and if you want to attend both, great).
               
                2) I would like to close on a date as soon as possible, .You on this distribution list have expressed interest, so we need to decide on a meeting date between us, and then we provide an open invitation for everybody else once we have determined the dates. Can each person please specify dates they can do it in March, Update the info I have if necessary.

                *                 ESI: 3-5 people attending.
                *                 IBM: 2-3 people attending (Bruce MacIsaac, Per Kroll, ?). - Any date
                *                 Catalysts (Christoph Steindl): March 2-3, 6-7, 9-10, 15-16 are fine
                *                 2-Pro Mentor (Sigurd Hopen):
                *                 Telelogic (?):
                *                 Softeam (Philippe Desfray): Feb 27, 28 and March 6, 8 <what about later in March?>
                *                 Method Park (Winfried Stenzel)

               
                We will optimize agenda to maximize value to the attendees, so once we know who will attend, we will finalize it. Expect a strong focus on working session, not just presentations and learning.
               
                Thanks
