Re: [stp-pmc] PROPOSAL: SOA Tools Platform Incubator Sub-Project
|
Oisin,
please can you clarify the following.
Will the incubator have one or more projects. What are those projects
currently- i.e. do they map to the components? How do the companies map
to those projects? Which components are there contributions lined up
for? What is the scope of each project - I would like to see a
definition for each project in the Incubator under STP as something that
stands on it own.
With an incubator you need to be able to kill a project is if fails
without affecting other projects in the incubator. Thus I think each
project in the incubator needs its own proposal, list of companies and
contributions. The incubator need a separate proposal that clearly
states what role it will take in incubating its projects, and how the
incubator will be run. Without such detail upfront it will degenerate,
any project that joins the STP incubator has to clearly understand what
it is signing up for. Also STP has to clearly understand what its
responsibilities are to the projects it is incubating. Metrics also need
to be set up for when a project can graduate, these should be in the
incubator proposal.
The proposal for the incubator seems general, but then the details seem
JBI specific. Any project proposal should cover how it will integrated
into the SCA/STP model, how it will integrate with the rest of STP etc.
Hope that helps, fire me a copy of the next draft and I will try to
provide comments in short order.
Carl.

All - see below draft proposal for new STP sub-project. Please
comment - do you think that the mechanics will work? Also - the
proposed committers have yet to be worked out in detail, there is
legal paperwork to be done by some parties.
best regards

Introduction
The SOA Tools Platform Incubator Sub-Project is a proposed sub-project
under the SOA Tools Platform Project [0]. This proposal is in the
Pre-Proposal Phase as described at [1] and is written to declare the
SOA Tools Platform Incubator's intent and scope. You are invited to
comment on this proposal.
Background
The SOA Tools Platform Project has been favored with a number of offers
of code contributions from various organizations. Some of these offerings
are focussed within similar technology areas, for example JBI
infrastructure
deployment and graphical SCA assembly modeling. Establish practice in
Open
Source projects suggests that a melding of different approaches to a
similar
goal, performed in public in an open manner, leads to better and more
well-
understood solutions.
Technology contributions from a single source that do not have any clear
connection to existing STP sub-projects are also suitable candidates for
incorporation into the Incubator Sub-project.
Description and Organization
The SOA Tools Platform Incubator Sub-roject will serve the need for the
open development of similar technology elements that have been
contributed
by different organizations. The sub-project will be composed of
components
that are technology specific. Development in each component will be
co-led
by one individual from each contributing organization. Components will
manage their own schedules and releases from the incubator until such
time
as they are approved by the STP PMC for consolidation within an official
STP sub-project outside the Incubator Sub-project. The goal of each
component
is to graduate from the incubator in a timely fashion. All proposed
Incubator
Sub-project componants must be approved by the PMC before they can be
initiated.
Proposed Components
* SCA Graphical Modeler
* JBI Infrastructure Creation and Deployment
* Integration Patterns Graphical Modeler
Proposed Initial Committers
* Obeo
* Bull
* SAP
* Engineering
* IONA
* SOPERA
