Betreff: [wtp-pmc] Fw: [wtp-dev] Minutes of the WTP Status Telecon,2006-05-18


Tim, David, Jochen, Arthur, Naci and Raghu,
I was unable to attend the WTP status meeting yesterday, but from a chat with Kathy and reading the minutes, I understand the question of PMC approval for RC4 came up.

I'm of much same opinion as Kosta's. At latest count, we have 26 candidates for WTP 1.5, and 16 candidates for WTP 1.5.1 (and, FYI, we have started using the Status Whiteboard field to track our candidates). I don't know whether this is a relatively large, or small, number; however, the majority of these bugs are what I'd characterize as usability and functional bugs that individually are not critical (most are normal or major), but that collectively might leave the impression of questionable quality - a subject of general concern.

I don't want to suggest we abandon PMC approval entirely, but don't relish the idea of a process involving a minimum 24-hour voting cycle to get fixes into the build. My two cents' worth is for component leads to judiciously approve bugs for commit/release, include appropriate impact/risk assessments in the bugs, and have the PMC "post-approve" - meaning if the PMC disagrees with a bug that has been committed/released - hopefully a rare case - the component team in question can always reverse the fix.

There are my thoughts on it for now. I'm out on vacation until May 29, so in my absence, Kathy is acting component lead for Web services.

Thanks much,
Cheers - CB.

2. WTP 1.0.3 Status - David Williams

David: I have not restarted the build. The build will likely resume this weekend once RC3 is done. Naci and I have some changes to make this Friday.
Ted: Are we planning to have an official 1.0.3 smoke tested build each week?
David: I think we should do a weekly Ibuild with smoke tests starting next week.

2.1 WTP 1.0.3 approved bugs [1] - Lawrence Mandel

3. WTP 1.5 Status

3.1 WTP 1.5 Build Status - David Williams

David: An RC3 candidate is available that component teams should currently be smoke testing. There have been some small doc changes since the build that will require a respin but there is no need to smoke test again. Does anyone need a rebuild?
Chuck: We currently have lots of exceptions when running our JUnit tests that have to do with validation jobs closing before the tests are finished. Although this is not something users will hit as the problems are with the tests themselves we've cleaned up a bunch of the tests and would like to get them in. We'd also like to get another defect in that fixes a problem with classpaths.
Keith: 140813 is a major regression. We have a fix and are requesting a respin.
David: We will respin today. We'll start the build at 5pm EST.

Kosta: The process for RC4 requires PMC approval for fixing bugs. I don't think we're at that point yet. There are many more quality bugs that need to be fixed.
Lawrence: I propose that component leads discuss this with their teams and bring concerns to the PMC by sending mail to wtp-pmc or joining the PMC call on Tuesday. This item will be added to next week's PMC call.

3.6 Bugs to be Triaged [1] - Lawrence Mandel

We're down to 72 bugs to triage (as of 1:05pm EST May 18, 2006). Great work! Keep it up. There are still bugs that were opened over a year ago that are assigned to inboxes.

3.7 Bugs Targeted to Past Milestones/Release Candidates [1] - Lawrence Mandel

There are currently 74 bugs targeted to 1.5 M4, 1.5 M5, 1.5 M6, 1.5 RC1 and 1.5 RC2. These milestones and release candidates have already been declared. Please retarget these bugs.

Kathy: WS currently uses M6 as a way of identifying that changes should be made in 1.5 but that we do not know the specific RC.
Lawrence: A target should only be assigned once the specific milestone in known.
Tim: It appears that we intended to fix a lot of defects in M6 but were unable to. I've also noticed a lot of bugs where the target is simply rolled up on every milestone release.
David: There is a new field in bugzilla called the "status whiteboard". This can be used for any information your teams need to add to bugs for your own queries.
