Notes

C'mon and celebrate!

  • RSE 1.0 is released - just in time
  • What did we accomplish in the past year?
    • Created infrastructure - project, website, wiki, mailing list, newsgroup, bugzilla, processes for everything
    • Got all the code through legal review, implemented nightly build system
    • Grew the community - contributors and users, 220 downloads on 1.0RC2; EclipseCon talk, upcoming tutorial
    • Refactored RSE (service/subsystem approach; UI/Non-UI separation), implemented deferred queries; new Persistence implementation
    • Added ssh and ftp subsystems, remotecdt launcher, discovery component
  • In the past year: What did you like? What's the favorite thing you want to do next?
    • DaveD: Wants to do many little things (e.g. testframework: have testcase for creating 10 connections & deleting them)
    • DaveM: Wants to do Many little things; multi-commands for cluster management
    • Kushal: Liked to see ssh and ftp getting implemented -- RSE was prepared for 3rd party extensions from the very beginning, but it took openRSE to make it real; Wants to do Encoding support, EFS
    • Javier: Liked to see the project getting mature, things fitting together in the end; wants to continue work on Service Discovery; Wizard for creating new subsystems
    • Ted: Not long enough with the project

    • Other News --

Top Priorities this week

  • #1 - Convert Downloaders to Contributors - by Being responsive - on Newsgroup, Mailinglist and bug reports. We'll probably get lots of new users as we have RSE 1.0. Let's nurture our user community and encourage them to become contributors in case they have requests. Make sure that E-Mail notifications are turned on for bugzilla (and probably also the Wiki FAQ etc.)
  • #2 - Plan RSE 1.0.1 and 2.0
  • #3 - Continue fixing bugs and improving documentation - Let's make sure that users who have problems with 1.0 can get a subsequent I-build as patch soon after. Let's make sure users get missing documentation wherever needed. Instead of answering a question by E-Mail, let's fix the corresponding documentation or FAQ and point the users to it.
    • Build Schedule: Will do an M-build on thursday at 8am Ottawa every week.
    • Consume our own stuff as much as we can!

Upcoming Work

  • Triage your assigned Bugs - Bug Process Page
    • Status NEW --> ASSIGNED (if you are confident)
    • Assign Target Milestones: 1.0.1 or 2.0 to indicate committed fixes; --- for yet unknown
      • Better be conservative assigning target milestones -- it should be a firm commitment
      • The GMF Project Plan#Plan_Item_Queries has some queries that explain how they use target milestone and bug status
    • Bugzilla: When fixing a bug, please add a short note where it was fixed, e.g. "Fixed in DStoreRemoteFile". This helps tremendously to find and understand the fix, in case it should be needed again later
      • Kushal, DaveM: How to get notified when a new bug is reported?
      • On Bugzilla Email Prefs page, enter "Users to Watch": dsdp.tm.core-inbox@eclipse.org,dsdp.tm.rse-inbox@eclipse.org,dsdp.general-inbox@eclipse.org
  • Start IBM and EMO review process for Montavista SSH Processes, User Actions and Import/Export (DaveD)
  • Start creating Unit Tests, Testing feature (DaveD, Uwe)
  • RSE 2.0 Planning - Finalize the 2.0 Project Plan
  • DSDP/TM/Code Ownership

      • Build system needs to be switched from 3.2.1 based build to Europa build after Dec.15 -- Ted
