| <p>WTP PMC Minutes for May 3, 2005 Conference Call</p> |
| Attending: Tim Wagner [TW], David Williams [DW], Arthur Ryman [AR], Dominique De Vito [DD], Naci Dai [ND] |
| <h1>WTP PMC Minutes for May 3, 2005 Conference Call</h1> |
| <h2>No procedural matters</h2> |
| <h2>Community Update [LM]</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Just over 8K downloads of M4 to date</li> |
| <li>Working with Ian Skerrett (EMO) and Pieter Humphrey (BEA) on WTP 1.0 press release</li> |
| <li>Articles in technical journals need to be written to build awareness of WTP; see Lawrence or |
| Ian to participate</li> |
| <li>Arthur, Jochen writing for JDJ</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>M4 API and Release Debrief</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>All APIs met exit criteria except the (EMF-generated) J2EE model; dynamic tracing coverage of |
| that is now over 50%, but we will still likely have a testing shortfall. Mitigation: Early in M5, close |
| on 100% coverage for this component.</li> |
| <li>API violations: Our API violates its own requirements (e.g., return types that are not in the |
| API). Need to address this, including defining exactly what constitutes a violation (subclassing non-API |
| classes/interfaces?).</li> |
| <li>[AR] Suggest starting shutdown sequence a week early to increase M5 ship date reliability. Need |
| to limit destabilizing changes in shutdown sequence; a lightweight approval process may need to be in |
| place for M5, which will serve as a rehearsal for GA convergence.</li> |
| <li>[ND] I-builds not getting to sufficient quality; creates drag on M-builds. May have a better |
| chance with M5 since APIs are in place. Some tutorials/examples out of date with respect to M4 codeline. |
| (Lawrence Mandel is organizing the effort to correct them.)</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Date And Release Changes</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>M5 moved to 7/1 to enable sufficient time for development and convergence.</li> |
| <li>PMC approved requirements group provision of a Dec. 15, 2005 hardening release plan (to be |
| numbered 1.1)</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>No Architecture Group Report this week</h2> |
| <h2>No Requirements Group Report this week</h2> |
| <h2>Performance Testing Server Support</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Need JSP and Derby on server to enable WTP performance testing</li> |
| <li>PMC approved making request of the EMO</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h2>Action Items</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>TW: work with Paul Meijer on Dr. Dobbs or other WTP article</li> |
| <li>AR: additional detail around performance testing infrastructure requests</li> |
| <li>AR: conversation with Roel Stalman regarding Oracle's EJB 3.0 plans and future integration with |
| WTP</li> |
| <li>TW: conversation with Steve Todd regarding Borland's use of WTP and possible seat on WTP |
| requirements group</li> |
