[epf-dev] News group posting on Practices

[Per Kroll <pkroll@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, FYI,
I just posted the below note to the
newsgroup. Hope to see you in tomorrow's meeting. I am presenting on among
others OpenUP at a seminar, and may be a few minutes late. Bruce and Ricardo
will walk through status of practice library, and discuss what are next
steps to complete it.

------------------
The EPF project is entering a new exciting phase!
 
When we first launched EPF, our vision was to build a
practice library allowing you to select practices to adopt, one at the
time. This better mimics how many people do process improvement. You may
strive to adopt a process, but you get there by adopting a practice at
the time. It avoids fighting over what process is better, and instead focuses
the debate on a more productive discussion, what practices make sense for
your context.
 
The realization of this vision is now getting much closer.
IBM has taken OpenUP, and refactored it into 11 practices which now have
been contributed back to EPF. Next major release of EPF aims at completing
this practice library. You can leverage this practice library to recreate
Scrum (with Scrum roles), something similar to Scrum + XP , or recreate
OpenUP (with OpenUP roles). You can add or remove practices as desired.
You can create your own practices. You are in control. You choose…
 
This is a major internal milestone. Check out current
practices under development at EPF Wiki, http://epf.eclipse.org/wikis/epfpraclib/
. Still a lot of work left to do, but it is getting
there...
 
We would love to get your feedback. Do we have the right
practices? Do the practices have the right content? Make your comments
directly in the Wiki. Make posts to this newsgroup or to epf-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx
. 
 
We would love to get your involvement in the development
of this practice library. Sign up to develop a practice. Or parts of practice.
Send an e-mail to epf-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx
if you want to get involved. 
 
The EPF team is looking forward to your feedback, your
adoption, and your contributions. 
Tomorrow, Wed Feb 20, 11 AM EST, we have our regular weekly
content team meeting. Join if you are interested in contributing. Or join
any subsequent meeting. We would love your involvement, see meeting calendar
for EPF at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/eclipseprocessframework/cal
.
 
Cheers
