[technology-pmc] EPF: Seeking approval for 2 contributions
|
Hi,
we are seeking PMC approval for 2 additional
contributions so we can fill in Contribution Questionnaire:
1) LogicaCMG would like approval to
contribute Wiki technology. This technology will allow EPF Composer to
publish a process that can then be edited through a Wiki. Below you find
a list of components used. No commercial components will be donated, and
we will resolve dependencies on commercial or other components as appropriate
once the core code is open sourced.
Charlie Yan will be the committer responsible
for the contribution, working with Onno van der Straaten, who is the lead
developer for the code.
2) Object Mentor and IBM would like
to donate an EPF content plug-in for XP. Object Mentor, under the supervision
of Robert (UncleBob) Martin wrote the content, with technical assistance
from IBM.
Ricardo Balduino is the committer responsible
for the contribution.
We are expecting additional contributions
around DSDM, Scrum and Agile Database Refactoring in the near future. We
are now working hard on broadening the content from OpenUP to a more diverse
set of methods.
Thanks

Hi Charlie,
I promised the list of libraries, components that we use:
- CSDiff version 5.0
- Tidy (available as a Ruby Gem)
- PinEdit
- TinyMCE (available as a Ruby
Gem)
- Apache Ant
- Html2text Python script
CSDiff
Used for creating diffs between versions. I included the copyright statement
below.
Tidy
The license that applies is http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2002/copyright-software-20021231.
There is a Ruby Gem to install this easily, we don’t have to ship this.
PinEdit
Commercial software. I think it is possible to get permission to ship an
evaluation version with our software, but Peter and I decided in a previous
meeting that we wouldn’t use this approach. What we will do is add
instructions to the software on how to obtain and integrate other HTML
editors such as this one.
TinyMCE
We already determined that we cannot ship this with our software because
this is GNU? As with PinEdit we will provide instructions on how to obtain
and integrate this. There is a Ruby Gem so this can be installed easily.
Apache Ant
There is no need to ship this with our software. Apache Ant is used only
for unzipping uploaded files.
html2text
Turn HTML into equivalent Markdown-structured text. Released under GNU
GPL 2, so I expect we cannot ship this. An option is to build this functionality
ourselves, it is not too difficult to build this ourselves. This probably
a better approach anyway because then we don’t need Python.
Best Regards,
Onno

Sorry for the short notice, but, let's see if we can meet tomorrow morning
at 8am PST ( 5pm European ) Friday 10/6/06.
Con call info:
Toll free: 877-422-0052
Toll: 314-655-1417
Pass code: 570210
Onno, roughly the process is to get Eclipse PMC approval first, then, submit
a contribution questionnaire with the code, then,
it will go through Eclipse legal review and we should have a committer
meeting to review and approve. We can discuss this
more in our meeting.

Charlie,
I promised at the Steering Group meeting to produce a small plan to communicate
what is involved before proceeding. Shouldn’t take too long to produce
it.
Maybe on Friday 5 pm is ok? Monday to Thursday at 5pm I mostly stuck in
traffic as I’m on a new assignment that requires me to do a lot of home-work
traveling.
If we have a plan we all are find about I can make documentation and code
available quickly.
Don’t expect much when it comes to design documents, this app is 3500
lines of code and 2500 lines of unit and functional test code. Not much
I think.
There is a presentations (on EPF site from F2F meeting UK Reading), there
are demos http://lcmglab.xs4all.nl/rupwiki/info,
there is a data model, there is a list of features, there is documentation
in code.
In the past Per Kroll mentioned “technology fit”, Peter Haumer mentioned
licensing issues with regard to the HTML editor (TinyMCE). I regard these
comments from Per and Peter as risks for open-sourcing and that is why
I think that a small plan makes sense.
What is the procedure?
-
hand
over code, documentation for review
-
EPF
committers review code, documentation
-
Will
EPF committers test, run the code? (requires me to prepare documentation
on installing right away)
-
EPF
committers vote on making it part of EPF?
Best Regards,
Onno

Onno,
I did not attend either. It have yet to schedule a meeting for us to discuss.
When do you think you will be ready to actually donate the code to EPF?
I was thinking that it might be
more productive for us to have a chance to look at the code or design documents.
I will schedule a meeting
for next week. 5pm your time ok for you?

HI Charlie,
I missed the meeting organized by Per Tuesday, I wanted to attend but my
schedule didn’t allow it, I saw Wiki was also on the topic list.
Did you attend? In the notes I didn’t see that it was discussed.
Was this the meeting you intended to schedule for us?
Thanks,
Onno

Hi Charlie, Peter, Per,
Congratulations with reaching the milestone 0.9 version of OpenUP. In the
end I managed to contribute to it in a small way by participating in the
top-to-bottom review. But really for me it became more a skim-the-top review
because I couldn’t make enough time available on such short notice for
a thorough job. I especially liked reading the Collaboration & Communication
content, I’ll use some of that in the near future.
A couple of weeks ago I got approval to proceed with the open-sourcing
of our Wiki technology from the steering committee of the Result Centre.
I got approval after having given a brief presentation about EPF, OpenUP,
the Wiki technology and my plans with it. I requested and got 30 days and
4 hours a week till the end of this year to work on this.
What I want to do now is to prepare a small plan so we can all be clear
on what is involved. I need some help though to get going. First we will
have to do some preparation work: cleanup code, maybe implement some enhancements,
fixes, prepare documentation, licensing info. How we proceed after that
is not clear to me.
Is there a formal, documented procedure to follow? Can you help me define
the steps, people involved?
Best Regards,
Onno
