hiho,
 
Sorry for the last-minute 
notice.  I would like to have a conference call at 8am pacific time 
tomorrow (6/14/2006) for the OpenUP/Basic package owners to touch base as a 
status update on open items to be done as part of our 1.0 
release.
 
This is not meant to be a 
problem-solving call or anything.  It will just be a chance for each 
package owner to note how many process elements were done in the last week, how 
many are left to be done overall, how many are expected to be done in the next 
week, plus identify any problems.
 
The idea is to have the call 
tomorrow, then on Tuesday the 20th next week (to align well with the 
European Face to Face meeting), then get in the habit of having them on each 
Wednesday until release 1.0.  If a package-owner can’t make it onto the 
call, he should get the “how many elements left to do” data sent out to epf-dev 
before the meeting so we have a complete view across the OpenUP/Basic 
content.  There has been some verbal discussion of this amongst various key 
parties but based on the late notice, we’ll consider this a dry run just to get 
the ball rolling.  It is certainly understandable if someone doesn’t make 
it on this first call.
 
For the sake of transparency anyone 
can call in to observe, but it is expected that just the committers responsible 
for the packages will participate.  Though this first call might be a bit 
sloppy, we are hoping to get these down to no more than 30 minutes of 
status.  The resulting data will be sent out to the epf-dev list after the 
meeting.
 
Per Kroll is going to send out a 
subsequent message with the conference call number.  He might also have a 
tweak to what data I have suggested be relayed in the 
call.
