Re: [jakartaee-platform-dev] Jakarta EE Platfrom Call Match 17, 2020 at 11:00 EDT
|
This is the Platform
Development call. I think the "volunteers" are the committers
on the Platform project. So far, it has a been a combination of Ivar,
Steve, and myself that try to organize the meetings and get them to run
smoothly. I don't think we need a "meeting facilitator".
I like the idea to hold the meeting whether we have a defined agenda
or not. When that happens (undefined agenda), then the people that
show up can determine the agenda and facilitate the discussion themselves.
As Ivar has pointed out, everyone that dials in has control of the
zoom meeting, so we don't need a specific person or persons identified.

Thanks :)Sounds good to me. The challenge will
be to find volunteers, but let's bring it up on the call next week and
see how it goes. I'll add an agenda item.IvarOn Tue, Mar 17, 2020 at 8:48 PM Bill

but maybe we should be searching for a meeting facilitator who would be
more available to fill some of these gaps?
Or maybe we should just split the job into multiple jobs, where one job
is to handle the meeting reminder, including the reminder that the meeting
is canceled, and put up the "meeting starts at 11:00 PDT" banner
an hour before the meeting? The person who does that doesn't even
need to attend the meting.

wrote:Despite the meeting being canceled, some
people showed up anyway and we have some useful conversations. Don't
consider these minutes, they're just my recollections of what was talked
about, and these are certainly not official minutes. Corrections
are encouraged.
Emily Jiang started by asking about the TCKs and lamenting how there wsa
no documentation about the structure of the TCKs and thus it was difficult
to determine how to extract pieces of the TCk repo for one particular API
in order to create a standalone TCK for that API.
I lamented that we had internal documentation on some of this that we've
never found time to release. Perhaps some of it would be useful,
perhaps not, but I'll go back and see if there's any hope of springing
it loose of Oracle.
I reminded Emily to talk to Andy, who has figured out some parts of this.
We talked to David Blevins about EJB and what his plans are for EJB.
David was very clear that, given his resource and product requirements,
he was not going to be able to have anyone help on the EJB implementation
in GlassFish. So, it's going to be up to the GlassFish project team
to do this work.
We talked about the EJB interop tests. David believes there are two
kinds of EJB interoperability tests - tests that use only the EJB APIs
to test interoperating with remote EJBs, presumably from the same vendor,
and tests that use the CORBA APIs to test EJB interoperability using the
IIOP. CSIv2, etc. protocols. These later tests should be removed
from the TCK.
Note, however, that the only remote EJB protocol supported by GlassFish
is the CORBA protocol, so these tests that would be removed from the platform
TCK would be very useful as product tests for GlassFIsh, and we should
be careful not to lose them or lose that ability to use them for GlassFish.
They would also be useful for any other products that currently provide
this level of interoperability and are NOT planning to remove it for Jakarta
EE 9 even though it is no longer part of the spec (not even optional).
Vano Beridze lamented that the Jakarta EE RI, Eclipse GlassFish, was clearly
not a production level enterprise server, so was some other product going
to stop in to fill that gap. We explained how there is no longer
any RI, how it's a market competition to determine who is best. We
reminded Vano that Payara Server is very close to GlassFish, so contributing
to GlassFish may see results in Payara server soon, and for that matter
many of the components are shared with other products so it depends on
what component you're contributing to.
Vano was interested in contributing to the Face products. We gave
hime must of the same "how do I help" advice that has been given
on mailing lists several times. Maybe someone (Reza?) could write
up a Quick Start page for "how do I get started helping?"
We filled the whole hour with these discussions, and could've gone on longer.
A few other people joined and left the call and I didn't try to keep track
of them, sorry.
Now I have some advice of my own (not discussed during the meeting)...
If you really want to cancel the meeting, for whatever reason, it needs
to be done at least 12, and preferably 24 hours before the meeting is scheduled
to start.I think we agreed that I would help out
by sending a reminder a day before the call with a link to the agenda.
It is everybody's responsibility to add to the agenda. And an empty agenda
means we won't do the call.
Sometimes it's worthwhile to have a meeting even if there is no official
agenda. Consider it an "unmeeting" where the agenda is
formed at the start of the meeting or during the flow of the meeting.
If it turns out to be a failure, we can stop doing it.I agree! it is a good idea. I am happy
to do so for future meetings.
If the meeting end early, consider leaving the zoom running and displaying
a banner that says the meeting ended early. If there's confusion
about the start time and the meeting starts later than expected for some
people, consider starting the zoom conference early and display a banner
that the meeting starts later, e.g., due to DST changes.The meeting is set up so it does not
require a host. Anybody can log in to the meeting at any time. I won't
be able to attend the meeting every time due to travel (not currently,
but usually...). So facilitating this would be up to someone in the group.Ivar

cancel this call. If you have something to bring up with
the group, don't hesitate to send it on the mailing list or add it to the
agenda for next week. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EJ2ilaPhMnQqa3aw6AmwjRbBPGL3_np4uuwklgfqPZI/edit?usp=sharing Ivar-- Ivar
