| <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>Working with Ian Skerrett (EMO) and Pieter Humphrey (BEA) on WTP 1.0 press release |
| <li>Articles in technical journals need to be written to build awareness of WTP; see Lawrence or Ian to participate |
| <li>Arthur, Jochen writing for JDJ |
| </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>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>[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>[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 Some tutorials/examples out of date with |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.) |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2>Date And Release Changes</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>M5 moved to 7/1 to enable sufficient time for development and convergence. |
| <li>PMC approved requirements group provision of a Dec. 15, 2005 hardening release plan (to be numbered 1.1) |
| </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>PMC approved making request of the EMO |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h2>Action Items</h2> |
| <ul> |
| <li>TW: work with Paul Meijer on Dr. Dobbs or other WTP article |
| <li>AR: additional detail around performance testing infrastructure requests |
| <li>AR: conversation with Roel Stalman regarding Oracle's EJB 3.0 plans and future integration with WTP |
| <li>TW: conversation with Steve Todd regarding Borland's use of WTP and possible seat on WTP requirements group |
| </ul> |
