[modeling-pmc] Call summary - 17 July 2007

Title: Call summary - 17 July 2007

Hello,

Apologies for the poor quality audio on today’s call.  I’ve copied Bjorn to let him know right away that we found the Asterisk Conference Call service to be largely unusable.  In particular, we had trouble communicating with Jean in France, who was the one we were most hoping to accommodate by using the service.  Also, we had a bad echo and fading.  I’m sure there are some tips/tricks we need to take advantage of, if we decide to use it again.  Bjorn, have others had success with it?

A summary of each point from our agenda:

• Most agreed the basic policy for Committer removal followed by WebTools is appropriate for our use in Modeling.  Rich will create a Wiki with the policy for review by the PMC.
• Ganymede: we’ll at least do as much as we did for Europa, and continue toward common build infrastructure, etc.  We may also want to have a Modeling package added to EPP, and do what we can to at least appear more unified/integrated.  Rich will update the Modeling plan for Ganymede.
• Most agreed that there is not likely to be much gained by having the Foundation vote on OMG matters on our behalf, as most contributors to Modeling are members and vote anyway.  On the topic of coordinating with the modeldriven.org folks, we’ll look to meet with them at ESE, if not before (Jean might have proposed something else, but it was too hard to hear him).
• By the time we got to the Declarative QVT component proposal, I believe it was down to just Ed and I on the “call”.  Neither of us see any issues with the proposal, consider Compuware to have resigned from the component, and are happy to have it picked up by another team.
  

Please comment on this summary with anything I’ve forgotten or got wrong.

Thanks,
Rich
