| Re: [epf-dev] Reminder: EPF meeting this Thursday, Dec 9, 8:00AM PST |
Hi Bruce,
Ricardo,
Unfortunately I can't make this meeting as I have a meeting already at that
time.
I think SEMAT is a very interesting development and so I am willing to
contribute in that area. This initiative to end the method wars (with Scrum as
the sith lord?) and bring peace to software engineering galaxy has a big
(should I say 'huge') overlap with the EPF open source initiative: also process
framework, infrastructure, ecosystem, practices. The great ideas from IJC on
practices are there. Where is EPF? So I think this alignment is a crucial step.
I have btw an presentation somewhere from some time ago from Dave West from IJC
with a few slides that mention EPF. One slide contains a statement similar to "EPF
effectively supports the three collaboration games of EssUP". This made me
wonder because my feeling is that effective support would require a very big
change of EPF. So the question if EPF can evolve is justified. An example is
state, state transitions of the Kernel objects. A key thing in Essup to provide
extensibility, in EPF state and state transitions are in (buried?) a completely
different location as activity entry and exit states. I’m sure we can wing it with EPF but not
without EPF becoming too complicated to use and understand. Any worthwhile alignment
will have a big impact on EPF IMHO.
Best Regards,
Onno
Hello EPF community,
This is a reminder of our EPF meeting this Thursday, Dec 9, at 8:00 AM (PST).
For phone numbers and web conference details, see the EPF calendar:
https://www.google.com/calendar/event?eid=bm5ocGV1a2wwcTdkbjhvamZvZWtxZmJtNG9fMjAxMDEyMDlUMTYwMDAwWiBhamhvdTlpMTd0dWo2M25tNml1N3Fwbm90OEBn&ctz=America/Los_Angeles&gsessionid=OK
Tentative agenda:
1. Status update on the last week's release
2. Content translation - interest in developing an OmegaT filter? Or evolving Onno's prototype?
3. Brainstorm ideas for next release - some ideas:
3.1 Content:
- TOGAF (perhaps Armstrong Process Group can donate? Others interested?)
- Scrum/Lean (finish Ana Pereira's work, figure out how to mix and match with practices library)
- Eclipse development tool mentors
- Practices for embedded development
3.2 Tooling:
- translation feature
3.3 Enablement
- Steve Adolph, Mark Lines developed some OpenUP training - can this be finished and donated?
3.3 Other:
- translated libraries
- copyedit
- SEMAT alignment/familiarization
- would like someone to study SEMAT and how it affects or drives EPF
- can EPF evolve to be the tool that realizes SEMAT?
- Success stories, who's using EPF? How are they using it?
4. Soliciting more participants
- who should we reach out to?
- how can we market the benefits of getting involved?
Talk to you Thursday.
Bruce MacIsaac and Ricardo Balduino
