Re: [ormf-dev] The plan and the way forward
|
Flavelle,
It is grand to see that you are really chomping at the bits about
contributing :-) ! Please rest assured that, as soon as all our
ducks are lined up, all testing/documentation/specification work will
jump out clearly.
And BTW, accessing the plans should be easy as pie once it is
published on the ORMF website, but I am planning on letting you all
have a copy of it well before that, i.e. in the next day or two.
Until next time,
B.

J. & B.
Sorry that I cannot take on the heavy lifting, but I'm relatively
new to
Linux, Eclipse, Java, and all of the good stuff that goes with that.
I'm
still having some challenges with Ganymede eclipse - it is really
different than Europa. It's part of the learning curve.
In addition, I haven't been able to do any work with useme - I'm
impacted by the Java 6 bug that's been documented ad nauseum. That
being
said, if there is specific testing that is required, whether it is
workstation-based, server-based, or any combination thereof, then I
will
be happy to oblige. I will need specific setup instructions (I'm
running
ubuntu linux 8.04 server and 8.10 desktop), but there is nothing
critical that can't be easily recovered, so if you need a clean
environment, then I'll be happy to oblige. In addition, if you need a
'typical user' to either bounce things off of or test, then I would
like
to volunteer.
I should be able to help with documentation. I had also sent a note
asking about the other requirement types, and I am wondering if
there is
any useful work that could be done now that you feel would be within
my
capabilities.
Being totally new to the eclipse way of doing things, I may need some
helpful reminders on how to access the plan to see if there are any
tasks that I can take on.
Please let me know as you require.
Regards,
Flavelle

Hi,
As you all know the EF requires all teams to file an annual plan by
the end of September. This has caused B. and I to look very hard at
the state of the team, since the plan is of course directly linked to
the available resources. In consultation with our mentors we have
decided that the sensible thing to do is to create the plan based
solely on what B. and are able to deliver in the time period. We will
be following up this message with an outline of this plan in a few
days. It will be finalised before the deadline of EOM a week from
today.
This does not mean that we do not desire your assistance, it simply
means that we have to make the commitments that we believe are
achievable come what may. Therefore all of the broad task
responsibilities will lie with B. and myself for the time being. To
make it easier for the entire team to become involved we will be
creating fine grained tasks in Bugzilla which any of you are welcome
to take ownership of as you feel you have the time to complete. Our
hope is that over time everyone will hit a stride and will be able to
make significant contributions to the project.
Please know that neither B. nor I (nor the mentors) are being at all
critical of the level of participation to date. We all understand
that
life is full of hard choices, intrusions and ever changing
circumstances. Above all I want to say that I appreciate that each of
you put yourself forward to participate because you care about what
we
are accomplishing. That in itself puts you in the one percentile of
the human race who declare that they want to make a difference. Thank
you.
As always, any questions please holler.
me & b.
