AGENDA
1) [Paul] HIGGINS 1.1M8 - (WAS JUNE 15th)
•
Go to [5] & click top link - 5 items remaining
(Mary, Valery)
•
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Developer_Team_Page#Milestones
•
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Developer_Team_Page#Building -
is all this correct?
•
Is [7] implemented, reviewed?, correct?
•
When will we do the builds, and SVN branching for
1.1M8?
•
[Paul] It has been a long time (Aug 25, 2009) since we
have done a milestone build, so we are rusty.
•
[Valery] There are still several components that are
not building. Sergey is continuing to work on them, but there are several
problems. It may take several days to resolve them.
•
[Paul] You are saying the solutions on the download
page under M7?
•
[Valery] There are several component builds that
aren’t building. The XDI4j solution is also not building. So it will take
several more days to resolve the issues to make the M8 build.
•
[Paul] M8 has a different set of solutions than M7.
•
[Paul] In M7, we had the GTK selector and all that.
•
[Valery]
•
[Mike] It doesn’t look like the attribute service
is on the M8 list, but it should be.
•
[Paul] That is part of Higgins 2.0. That is why it is
not on the list.
•
[Paul] On the 1.1.M8 wiki page, I just copied in the
missing items.
•
[Paul] For each milestone, at the top is a link with
all the remaining tasks. There are 4 that at not done. Valery there is ***659,
more tweaks to the download page.
•
[Valery] Take a look at what has been done.
•
[Paul] Are the LEDs accurate?
•
[Valery] The build column is accurate, we don’t
build any selector automatically.
•
[Paul] So one confusion I have, each time we do a
milestone, we have always done a branch, so once it is working it should stay
building. Are you saying the M7 is building off the trunk?
•
[Paul] Why don’t we make a new bugzilla item with
the changes we have agreed to here.
•
[Paul] So we could end up with two columns the nightly
build and the stable build.
•
[Valery] The build page says that it is M7, but once we
make M8 build, it should be renamed.
•
[Paul] Either rename or add the new build at the top.
•
[Paul] You need the current milestone and the previous
stable build…. We will rename this components download and link to it
from download. I will create a new bugzilla item with the latest changes. Will
create a new 1.1M8 section and replace the 1.1M7 section….
•
[Paul] The next one is *363.
•
[Mike] It is the Higgins QT selector auto build.
•
[Paul] This item is in the wrong milestone. It should
be in 2.0
•
[Paul] There is only one item left with Alex’s
name. The referenced pages need to be edited. I just moved this to M9.
•
[Paul] So the only item left is the one I’m
creating that includes the SVN branch.
•
[Paul] So we will change the date until we get this
build done.
•
[Mike] We need to make sure that we have all the
third-party dependencies associated with that branch also separately labeled.
2) [Paul] 1.1M9 - JULY 15th
• Go to [6] click top link - 13 open items
(Mike, Alexander, SergeyL) - we're not going to do some of these
•
[Paul] If you look at this list, there are a number
that I think are just old. Number *836, assigned to Mike, upgrade to Apache
XML security.
•
[Mike] It is either already fixed or ??. Leave it there
for now and I will investigate what we are using in the STS build. I think all
of the issues with my name next to them need to be investigated. This is 1.1,
so we shouldn’t do anything radical. There are some longer term STS
issues for 2.0
•
[Paul] I’ve been cleaning up the developer team
page to get it to be accurate and put the more interesting stuff at the top.
I’m looking at the section on building, is it true? I’d like
someone, Valery or Alexander to review that section and see if it is correct.
I’ll create a bugzilla item for that.
•
[Paul] We have the master bugs you created, Mike. How
do we know where these stand?
•
[Mike] The challenge is that we have a lot of work to
do to get these documented and up to date, I’m trying to get Irena to
help the real component owner to get this stuff documented that has a minimal
impact on the developer doing their real job. There is a lot of work to do
there. It is going to take a while. I will try to get a more detailed status
from Irena on what she needs.
•
[Paul] Should I have added two months to the calendar?
Two weeks? Our goal for milestones is an item is either on the component list
(done) or it is not there.
•
[Mike] Can you talk to Irena and get an estimate about
how long each of these process checklists will take? I will keep ownership of
the STS one. I’m also concerned about the SAML IdP. Do we expect Markus
to continue working on this item?
•
[Markus] I’m on the call.
•
[Mike] Welcome Markus, you have an action item.
•
[Mike] I will go through the check list and verify the
status. If something isn’t done, I will send you emails (and bugzilla
items.)
•
[Paul] This was part of 1.0.
3) [Paul] PERSONA CHANGE EVENTS
• http://wiki.eclipse.org/Persona_Change_Events
• [Paul] We are out of time, so we will
talk about this next week.
4) [Paul] XDI HARMONIZATION (starting at 1pm Eastern)
• Continue to work through [3]
•
[Paul] Whomever wants to stay can work on the XDI
harmonization.
•
[Paul] We are going top to bottom though this thing
[3].
•
[Paul] Do you see the HDM section? We think
cross-context h correlation is the same as $is? Is that correct?
•
[Markus] Sounds right.
•
[Paul] The idea is to identify where and what changes
should be make to harmonize.
•
[Paul] The long term plan is to make them the same, but
that requires lots of changes to Higgins.
•
[Markus] There is an XDI wiki page that could be used
as a target. It will be finalized soon.
•
[Paul] Skype it to me, so I can add the URL to the
page.
•
[Markus] I just sent it on Skype.
•
[Paul] Cross-context h correlations. This is a major
difference. .. (Discussion). Actually, an entity in one context may be linked
to entities in the same or other contexts via an h:correlation link.
Resolution, they are actually the same.
•
[Paul] (continued discussion and updating of
harmonization wiki page [3].)
•
[Paul] We also need to make a wiki page that talks about
things like $first that XDI uses that Higgins doesn’t. I need to find out
all the $words in XDI to see what might need to be changed in Higgins. What is
$d$first?
•
[Markus] It is the first time stamp date and time, when
this subject was created.
•
[Paul] So in the Higgins data model, this doesn’t
exit. What is $d$last?
•
[Markus] The time when it was last modified.
•
[Paul] If you hit refresh, I added a new section on
these terms. This section looks at PDX and tries to find equivalent terms in
HDM, CDM, or PDM.
•
[Paul] Oh. Search doesn’t work on these wiki
pages.
•
[Mary] Then we need to add search to the list of items
that are inconsistent between the wiki skinned Higgins pages and the real
Higgins web pages.
•
[Paul] …..
•
[Paul] We will continue the discussion next week.
