Somewhat belatedly, just capturing a few notes from the skype conf call
that took place last Thu (crikey ... a week ago!)
On the call:
- Siegfried Goeschl (mentor)
- Mark Struberg (mentor)
- Robert Matthews (committer)
- Dan Haywood (committer)
- Kevin Meyer (committer)
- Alexander Krasnukhin (committer)
- Dave Slaughter (committer)
- Mohammad Nour El-Din (committer)
- Mike Burton
- Vango Stavro
- Robert van Poelgeest
Robert gave some background on the history of Naked Objects, and also
stated he recognised that what had been "his baby" was now under the
stewardship of the community, and he was looking forward to being a part
of that (I'm probably paraphrasing this badly ... Rob stated it somewhat
better on the call, I think).
For my part, I echoed Rob's sentiments (both for my commits to the NOF
codebase and of course my own sister projects).
We then went around the "table" and introduced ourselves. Sorry, I
didn't take detailed notes, but my impression (and from following mails
on isis-dev) was that this was really worthwhile, and helped the
community feel like, well, a community.
I then did a screenshare to the call, and did a run-through of the key
elements of the architecture: core, defaults, alternatives, viewer; and
referencing JSR-299 for the terminology of "defaults" and "alternatives"
(we're hoping to refactor towards JSR-299 during incubation). I also
described the different builds supported: mvn clean install and mvn
site-deploy, x-refing the wiki for details.
We also talking briefly about the fact that we'll need to decide on a
v0.1 release, what's to go into it, and when to aim for. I promised to
put some posts on the ML about this (which I've still to do).
Cheers
Dan
