[epf-dev] Notes from EPF meeting (3/10)

[Ricardo Balduino <balduino@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Participants: Bob Palank, Onno van der
Straaten, Collin O'Neil, Bruce MacIsaac, Jas Madhur, Rick Murphy, Gunter
Seidel, Ricardo Balduino

Discussion:

1. Status update on the upcoming release

- Scrum/Lean - group of 3 people working
on evolving content; version planned for next release
- Copyediting - IBM providing it for
translation purposes
- Bugzillas [1] - please visit the Bugzilla
items to provide comments or sign up to do some of the work

2. Translation-ware - Onno reported
no changes since last time; we need to run a Proof of Concept and need
volunteers to run a it

3. EPF Composer - minor defects being
fixed. Main new feature is support for refactoring, moving elements from
one plug-in to another without losing reference. Also will now be able
to move custom categories from one plug-in to another.

4. Webinars
- Good feedback on the format. Carson
did a great presentation. Around 20 people joined - great discussion at
the end.
- For future sessions it was suggested
that presenter would discuss business benefits of solution/effort
- Also clarify the target audience for
next webinars to outreach correct audience
- Potential future topic: new SWEBOK
version coming out later 2011/early 2012.  Action: Bob Palank
is following it... He will try to get a speaker on the topic.

Note: if you missed the webinar,
you can find a link to the recording from this page: http://www.eclipse.org/epf/community/outreach.php

5. SEMAT alignment - SEMAT will be moving
to OMG - anything EPF can benefit from? No further discussion from participants
at this time. We need to revisit this topic in case there is interest.

6. Soliciting feedback - everyone invited
to send Bruce an email with customer (or industry, in case customer name
can't be mentioned) using EPFC tool or content. We want to advertise it
on website, similar to what IBM did with RMC on devWorks (we could leverage
Eclipse's org wiki)

- Rick Murphy had questions about outreach:
what are the requirements for publishing a reference delivery process under
EPF? Bruce replied that work as part of epf can be posted by committers;
contributors can send material to committers or attach to Bugzilla, and
Eclipse legal will review it; EPF community can be leveraged to create
material
- to become committer, one needs to
actively participate in the project via joining calls, discussing Bugzilla
items, contributing content or tool code.
- point of contact in epf to answer
question about eclipse governance

- Gunter Seidel suggested that specific
questions should be asked and we should categorize the responses so we
have consistent presentation of the feedback provided ( we could use doodle.com
/ surveymonkey to ask specific questions to the community)

- Bob Palank to send suggestions for
OpenUP: feature driven dev (original author not interested); Action:
Bob looking into expanding OpenUP material around estimating - he will
create Bugzilla item to capture initial ideas and start discussion.
