Hi,

I completely agree with Wayne for this top-level project.

I think that one main structuring input is to clearly define the technical and engineering domains. We have started with OPEES. Now, we must finalize.

One subject for the coming meeting in Toulouse.

Hi all,
I fully agree with Wayne, a top-level Project/page should be urgently created.( i just browsed around polarsys and was quite discouraged[not being logged] wrt the image provided to external public ).
We should at least have a homepage reminding a summary of  polarsys usage :

• components developped/supported by techo& service-providers can be hosted/long term supported and qualified
• components hosted can be downloaded and used by end-users/members

The operation of the polarsys infrastructure is supported :

• by the polarsys organistation for governance & everyday operation
• by the techno &services providers for qualifying their components( i.e. uploading  them and documenting searchables attributes)

For categories of projects i see thus at last those:

• Operation tools : supporting the polarsys operation activities among them catalog to hold a list of all tools maintained with searchable attributes such as maturity, certifiability and interoperability qualifiers. such tools will support the operation of polarsys
• infra or infrastructure tools : as already defined by OPEES, these tools are basic services ontop of eclipse to support transversely  the development tools
• development tools ( Req capture & analysis, design, verify , code and test)
• toolchains : support tools for toolchains ( set of integrated components support all or part of the lifecycle. ), e.g. configuration ( and possibly automated generation )

It time that we define a top-level project for PolarSys.

We have a charter template document [1] that provides a foundation for the charter. I've also included some links [2,3,4] for a few existing Eclipse top-level projects.

Note that this is different from the PolarSys charter. It's more of an operational document for some subset of the projects that will be developed as part of PolarSys.

The top level project is the umbrella under which projects (subprojects) operate. Each of the subprojects that fall under a top-level project fit within the scope of the top level.

The trick here is to provide a scope with the right breadth. There's no hard and fast advice regarding how to scope a top-level. But it might help to think a bit about a small handful of categories of project that we expect to eventually have at PolarSys. Each of those categories is a potential top-level project.

Remember that each top-level project operates with a certain amount of autonomy from other top-level projects.

I recommend that we start by brainstorming the categories of project, and select one from that list to push forward with a first top level project charter. We can use the wiki if that works/makes sense.

Thoughts?

Wayne
