Re: [jakartaee-platform-dev] Looking for a couple of Wave:0 and Wave:1 volunteers...

Hi,
Thanks for your interest!  In order to release a new version of a Specification Project, we need an updated Specification (document), API, TCK, and CI (Compatible Implementation).  All of the projects now have at least a Milestone API artifact in Maven Central.  That's good.  But, now we need to start completing the other required artifacts in order to release an update Specification Project.  For example, Mark Thomas volunteered to help drive the EL 4.0 release to help demonstrate what all needs to be done for a Project release.  In the same light, Fred Rowe has offered to help drive Concurrency 2.0 across this same finish line.

The specific volunteers that I am looking for this exercise need to be committers on the Specification Projects.  These volunteers need to be committers due to the Jenkins builds that will be required for this exercise.  But, I'm sure each of these Projects will need additional volunteers (contributors and committers) to complete all of the necessary work.

So, if you are interested in helping, I would suggest reaching out to the individual Project mailing lists for the Projects that are volunteering for this exercise.  For the examples cited thus far, this would be the EL mailing list and the Concurrency mailing list.  I'm hoping to get a couple of additional volunteer Specification Projects.

FYI, part of this exercise is to also establish a roadmap and process for completing the rest of the Projects.  So, there will be plenty of opportunities to volunteer your services across all of the Projects (just in case EL and Concurrency don't flip your trigger).  :-)  

Thanks again!

I'm wondering if I can help

I am extremely sorry if this is a dumb question. Could you kindly help me understand what the actual work is? That will help recruit the right people. If need be, we can have a quick one-on-one call.

As I was looking at the overall work effort required to deliver Jakarta EE 9 by the end of June, I see that the Wave:1 deliverables would need to start their official ballots by March 24.  (Note, all of this is assuming a sequential ordering of our Wave deliverables, which is not always the case.  But, it's the worse case, so I'm going with it for this exercise.)

Since March 24 is less than two weeks away, I'd like to get some Specification Project volunteers to work through the process of delivering their materials for ballot.  I figured some of the Wave:0 and Wave:1 Projects would be the best ones to pick from.


Wave:0  
https://github.com/orgs/eclipse-ee4j/projects/17?card_filter_query=label%3Awave%3A0
Wave:1   https://github.com/orgs/eclipse-ee4j/projects/17?card_filter_query=label%3Awave%3A1

Once we start to work through the wrinkles of preparing for this ballot process, then we can maybe adjust the schedule deadlines to better align with reality.


For those of you not familiar with this balloting process, here are the
official requirements.  But, in a nutshell, you would need your final API, TCK, and Compatible Implementation ready to release to Maven.  If your Project is also planning to provide a Specification update based on the contributed Specification source, then your final Specification would also be required.  There are a few Specification Projects in Waves 0 and 1 with at least 6 out of the 11 checkboxes marked.  Can we get any volunteers from these Projects to help push these across the ballot finish line?  (Although much of the actual work can be provided by Contributors, the final push with the Jenkins builds and Maven releases would need to be done by Committers.)

Another caveat...  This request would be for Projects not dependent on Glassfish as their Compatible Implementation.  Glassfish will not be ready in time for this initial push.  I am focusing on Projects that have independent, standalone Compatible Implementations.  Those Implementations may eventuall feed into the Glassfish deliverable.  But, they can also be used as a standalone Compatible Implementation for testing and verification purposes.


Thanks!
