[news.eclipse.technology.epf] Re: OPEN Process Framework Repository

["Per Kroll" <pkroll@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Donald,

this is great news! We would very much welcome your contributions. I will 
send you a separate note to briefly discuss what may be the appropraite next 
steps.

Some things to consider:
- We have our next face-to-face meeting in California, Santa Clara, on March 
23-24, in conjunction with EclipseConn. Great if you or somebody else from 
OPFRO can make it
- I suggest that you or somebody from OPFRO join the epf-dev mailing list, 
since all discussions around the meetings, and various development 
discussions take place on that list. To sign up, go to 
http://www.eclipse.org/epf/ and in the right column, you see "Developers 
mail list" half-way down.
- You should think about how this contribution fits with the rest of the 
project. We currently have three major components, BUP, Agile, 
Tooling/metamodel. We can discuss this more when we hook up.

Thanks
