Re: [stp-pmc] PROPOSAL: SOA Tools Platform Incubator Sub-Project

Hi Carl,
To answer your questions...

Will the incubator have one or more projects. What are those
projects currently- i.e. do they map to the components?
In Eclipse terms, the incubator will be a sub-project of STP. The
components
in the incubator will effectively be sub-projects too I think - they
will
have their own committers and leads, and set their schedules.
How do the companies map to those projects?
I think we can be flexible here. In the current situation, we have
multiple
closely-related offerings, so it makes sense to have committers from >1
company working on project. For example, a JBI incubator project would
may have committers from IONA, Bull, EBM Websourcing, SOPERA.
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.
+1, absolutely.
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.
+1
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.
A statement of integration would certainly be important, and would be
required
to meet the foundations definition of relevance to the top-level
project.
Hope that helps, fire me a copy of the next draft and I will try to
provide comments in short order.
Yes it does indeed help, thanks Carl. I will write in these details
tomorrow
and send it out an updated draft.
best regards
Oisin
