2) Minutes and matters arising
Minutes from past two meetings have been distributed to hyades-dev.
3) PMC and Eclipse interaction
Minutes of Face to Face meeting and placeholders for further inputs were
distributed to planning group, to confirm the group’s proposal and
that processes will continue as with the original project.
NEW ACTION - Mike to circulate this information on hyades-dev before the
next meeting.
A prioritized feature list for v. 3.+ releases has been made available
from the Hyades website.
NEW ACTION - Mike to raise awareness of document’s existence on
hyades-dev and solicit feedback.
Harm has created a component matrix, and requested suggestions for
titles. Tyler suggested that the list should be kept short so as to not
overburden the matrix. The current profiles were suggested as a starting
point and the point was raised that a lead was required for each
sub-project. A diagram of roles has been created.
The PMC Charter amendments are progressing. The PMC structure is fine,
but the project structure needs some work. A review meeting to discuss
current state of documents (PMC Charter, PowerPoint slides, internal
governance) was scheduled for Friday June 4th at 8am PST/4pm UK, to
allow for a revision cycle to take place before the next planning group
meeting. It was agreed that these documents should be made available
online and that Mercury and HP should be given some advanced notice that
these are due to become available, as a courtesy, given their interest
in Hyades.
ACTION - Tyler circulate redrafted PMC charter (planning group)
ACTION - Tyler circulate draft briefing presentation (planning group)
ACTION - Tyler to alert Mercury and HP to availability of PMC-related
documents.
It was decided that the planning group meetings should be moved to
Tuesdays.
ACTION - Mike to brief hyades-dev on continuity of Hyades Subproject V
3+ planning
4) Operation of the current plan
The development process document is in its final approval stage with
Alex Nolan (Scapa) and Karla Cunningham (Intel). Should be available by
the next meeting.
ACTION - Rob to send development process document to planning group
before next meeting (June 8th)
ACTION - Rob to begin publishing his bug reports on the website.
Defect arrival rates have risen, due, in part to the additional testing
that it going on. The number of high severity defects was a little
surprising. More rigorous testing is required, i.e. testing other
contributors' code.
The repository structure of CVS is not quite set.
Deployment problems regarding the manual test tools were experienced. It
was surmised that this was broken as a result of the launch
configuration code drop.
2 weeks to shutdown. 1 week to fix major/critical defects.
Some critical defects that won't make 3.0 are already scheduled for
inclusion in the 3.0.1 time frame.
5) Technical forward plan
ACTION - Mike to contact Mike Milinkovich and solicit feedback from Dave
Thomson or John Weigand, regarding Eclipse post 3.0 plans.
6) Internal and external communication
Two conference calls have been held to discuss Eclipse positioning and
the promotion of Hyades. In the first call which involved Mike Taylor
who leads the Eclipse marketing team calls and Mark Johnson (both from
Instantiations), who leads the PR sub-committee calls, concerns were
raised regarding the proposed use of the tagline (for Eclipse) “the
universal development platform”. The preferred Hyades “application
optimization” positioning was also discussed. It was felt that the
Hyades news would be ‘lost’ within the Eclipse 3.0 release, and a plan
to prepare a separate media release one month after the Eclipse release
was considered.
In the second call, which involved Skip McGaughey and Mike Milinkovich,
a concern was raised that the use of Hyades (as the PMC title) might
pigeonhole the new PMC in the same way as the project. It was recognized
that Hyades is a significant brand within the Eclipse brand which
required investment to maintain and progress it. The planning group
affirmed that it sees no issues with the use of Hyades as the ‘brand’
name for the PMC.
A third meeting, this time face to face with Mike Milinkovich has been
scheduled for June 15th. Tyler, Mike and Harm will attend. It was agreed
that another conversation should be solicited with Skip before the
meeting with Mike Milinkovich to review PMC documents and discuss any
ongoing concerns.
NEW ACTION - Mike/Tyler/Harm meet Mike Milinkovich (June 15th)
Scapa presented three Hyades posters at an Eclipse Technology Exchange
in Edinburgh at the recent ICSE event. Another, similar event will take
place in Oslo on June 15th. Opportunity for other contributors to go
along and represent Hyades. These exchanges open up a new
academics/researchers audience to Hyades. Contact Melanie for more
details on the Oslo event. Final deadline for participation is June 9th.
7) AOB
Serge has two Hyades webcam demos that can be made available on the
website.
NEW ACTION - Harm to make these demos available on the website and send
a note to hyades-dev.
Next Planning Group meeting: Tues, 08 June 2004 - 6pm CET / 5pm GMT /
12pm EST / 9am PST
