Meeting notes and observations:
1) The practices library has been made available in CVS in the customary
location for libraries under development (same as OpenUP, Scrum, etc).
- connect EPF Composer to CVS at this location:
org.eclipse.epf/libraries/EPF_Practices_Library
- for "view" access to the files (viewcvs):
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.epf/libraries/EPF_Practices_Library/?root=Technology_Project
2) Coordination between contributors and committers is expected to happen.
We have new contributors joining the project (e.g. from IBM and ATS), and
they don't have write-access to CVS.
Each practice lead is expected to interact with contributors (and
committers, in case lead is not a committer) to discuss evolution of their
practices and make sure content gets committed to CVS accordingly. We need
further discussion on this topic on next meetings.
3) Bugzilla
There is (at least) one Bugzilla entry per discipline to capture work
being done in the practices library. In order to search for those items
more easily, we added prefix [PracLib] to their descriptions.
4) Resources for new contributors
One source of information for new contributors is the EPF web site, where
one finds information on how to join the epf-dev distribution list (this
list) and newsgroup, create an account in Bugzilla, access the EPF Wiki
and so on. Please visit www.eclipse.org/epf
5) Method Authoring guidelines
Kelli Houston gave us an overview of the method authoring guidelines.
There are 20 or so guidelines that explain how to set up the environment
for authoring methods, then sketch, structure and detail a method and its
elements. These guidelines provide the basis for creating content under
the proposed practices library structure.
Kelli will proceed with some clean up of what she presented today and make
it available soon. This set of guidelines has been built as plug-ins in
EPF Composer. They should be added to CVS as any other library we
currently have. We also discussed it should be zipped and made available
for download from the EPF web site, as well as (and most importantly, as
per participants opinions) added to the EPF Wiki in order to promote easy
access and feedback. We hope that this community can help us evolve the
guidelines.
6) Other topics
Next meeting (3/19 - 8AM PDT) - present in more details the underlying
method framework that supports the practices library. Conference info to
be sent.
All, please add to it in case I missed anything.
Thanks,
