Re: [jakarta.ee-spec] Much more progress on Jakarta EE 9Specifications!

I fixed a bunch of issues with the connectors PR today. AFAIK it is good to go but others are better at spotting glaring errors than me 😊

Hi Kevin,

 

Thanks for the update. I just checked on Connectors which I have as one of the two mentoring specs and it Looks promising. If the issue is resolved, it might even be Ready for ballot later today.

 

Standard Tags needs a closer look, as last time a few issue tickets were missing, so I have to see, if those were filed now and problems in the JavaDoc also cleaned out.

 

Regards,

Werner

Another update for week ending Oct 16, 2020 (only one more week to go)...

We made some progress with another four Specifications going to ballot.  Unfortunately, we also had a hiccup where we need re-start the ballot for Annotations...

We identified another Specification that is tied to the Platform, so we are now up to 6 Specification PRs (vs the 5 I reported previously) that are dependent on the Platform.  We are trying to mitigate this big push at the end by allowing pre-ballots on some of these Specification PRs -- knowing that a final re-verification will be necessary once the Platform is complete.
https://github.com/orgs/eclipse-ee4j/projects/17?card_filter_query=label%3Aplatform#column-7346449

This leaves the following 7 Specification PRs which need to get to the ballot stage by next Friday, Oct 23!


Like we did last week, we would like representatives from each of these Projects to attend our Spec Committee meeting on Wednesday, Oct 21, 16:00 UTC, Zoom link - https://eclipse.zoom.us/j/102354706(Password: SpecCmte).  We had a couple of reps attend last week's meeting and we were able to quickly get over their questions about the process.  If your Spec PR makes it to ballot before Wednesday, then you are not required to attend, but you are still welcome!  :-)

You are also welcome to post questions on any of the mailing lists that this message is going to.  I and others on the Spec Committee monitor all of them.  Or, you can find me on Slack in the Jakarta EE Development organization (https://join.slack.com/t/eclipsefoundationhq/shared_invite/zt-crh7mheq-3on2tophEuvQTUGidEAWlg).

Thanks!

Another update for the week ending Oct 09, 2020...

We made some progress this week.  We added 4 more Specifications to the ballot process!

That gives ustwo more weeks (Oct 16 and Oct 23) to get the remaining 10 Specificationsto ballot.  

As always, if any of you require assistance in completing these Specifications, please raise your hand and ask for help.  There are many people just waiting to help out in whatever way possible.  To help identify areas that still may require assistance, we will be inviting people associated with the outstanding Specifications to our Spec Committee meeting next Wednesday, Oct 14.  If you want to avoid this meeting at all costs, just complete the Spec PRs and make them ready for ballot before next Wednesday...  :-)

Thanks again!  This still looks doable, but it's going to be tight...


Background from previous note...
I think the easiest way to visualize our progress is via our Project Board:  https://github.com/orgs/eclipse-ee4j/projects/17#column-7346449

Starting on the right, we have the "Ratified Final Specification" column.  This shows the Specifications that are completely done with the ballot passed.  We have 12 Specifications in this group!  Yes!
Next column over is the "PRs Complete and Ballot Started" column.  As of today, this shows four more Specifications in the ballot process with end dates coming mid October.
And, finally, the third column from the right is the "Specification and Apidocs Draft PRs" column.  This is the column we need to focus on.  It shows that we still have 19 Specifications in some sort of readiness.

We have a handful (five) of Specifications that are dependent on the Platform TCK and CI:  https://github.com/orgs/eclipse-ee4j/projects/17?card_filter_query=label%3Aplatform

Our stated goal for completion of Jakarta EE 9 is Nov 20, 2020.
That means that the last day that we can start the ballot for the Platform-related Specifications is Nov 06, 2020 (mandatory two week voting period).

In order to properly create the final API and Javadoc for the Platform and Web Profile, I need all of the other component Specification ballots to be completed Oct 30 (gives me a week to ensure that everything is in place for the final Platform-related Specifications).

Hi,
It's been a while since I've sent out a "status note"...

I think the easiest way to visualize our progress is via our Project Board:  https://github.com/orgs/eclipse-ee4j/projects/17#column-7346449

That gives usthree weeks (Oct 9, Oct 16, and Oct 23) to get the remaining 14 Specifications to ballot.  Considering that it took us 8 weeks to complete the first 12 Specifications, we have our work cut out for us.  :-) Of course, all of us are getting more educated on what it takes to get these Specifications to ballot.  So, I'm not too nervous...  We have several Specifications that are " very close" to being ready for ballot.  But, we also have a few that still require some work...  If any of you require assistance in completing these Specifications, please raise your hand and ask for help.  There are many people just waiting to help out in whatever way possible.

I will plan to send out a similar note on each Friday as we try to track to this aggressive schedule.  Thanks for your help!
