Hello Nils
SNIP
I would suggest project lead(s) (was a typo, my fault) are those persons who
sit in
the PO Meeting. They decide what's in the upcoming release(s) and from my point
of view they also die most planing for the roadmap. Even if in general the
roadmap consist of the features that where delivered by the commiters, there
should always be a group of persons who observe the compete system and have
a look at those basic features that are necessary for the system. And they
should
bring them to list, when they seems to get lost. For a person outside of the PO
group/those who attend that meeting it's difficult to see this shortfalls of the
software.
(I've heard about, that the PO will no longer exists so this is just a
place-holder for
what comes next)
After the meeting we had in Chicago, we're in the midst of a transition phase
where - subject to the adoption of the new governance model - PO will be
abolished for committers to make the kind of decision you describe. This
includes the option for everyone to call the attention to features you consider
indispensable. However, if there's no one to share your view and/or to have the
resources to implement, the feature will be shelved until someone considers it
so unacceptable he or she will make a move.
Yeah I heard about it. I fell like in this model there's someone missing
who take a look at the whole system and keeps an eye on features that
have a strategic relevance to satisfy adopters to use Matterhorn. I saw
this in several reference models for the organisation of OSS-projects.
But we will see .....
And may I ask what you would do with an iTunes U/Youtube distribution service
when you couldn't edit metadata? Nobody would use it becuase he couldn't be
sure that he will get a 100% result and that's what you need at these
distribution
channels. If not, Nelson Muntz will gibe you a "HA-HA University XY has typos in
iTunes U because it uses Matterhorn" ;-)
I'm afraid that's not the only "Ha-ha" we could get from Nelson, so you better
have Martin [1] allocate your metadata without typos for the moment. I'm sure someone
distributing (to iTunes U or other channels) will have to move as soon as you misspelled
the dean's name.
Yeah I hoped we will come to another conclusion but we it seems like we
do the good old german "Beamten-Mikado" (sorry there's no good
translation, a combination of the game Mikado [1] and the typical
behaviour of (German) public officers/bureaucrats - the person that
moves first looses).
So I won't start with it (I'm still no developer) and I would suppose
Osnabrück doesn't need it because they have the worlds best Lernfunk-CMS
that cover more than 90% of this and several other Matterhorn Issues
(<spam>Go install Lernfunk </spam>).
