Committers' oversight update

@Esmé Cowles (Unlicensed)

  • This needs to be addressed still to determine what to support and what is manageable.

 

Features Prioritization update

Gordon Daines

  • Reviewed Sprint 3.

  • Sprint 4 testing in progress

  • Walked through Sprint 5 contents.

 

Discussion of roadmap/prioritization of new development +

transparency issues

 

  • Concern on lack of insight. Voting will help. Where is development going? What is targeted to be fixed? Yale's work: How does it fit in? General priorities?

  • Trying to do sprints by like features to maximize effort. Brad has led this.

  • Brad has asked Prioritization group to look at spring_backlog.

  • Voting will give better idea on what will be done. After voting, results will be worked through and posted.

  • Question on why TAC hasn't been more involved prior to vote. The thinking being is that TAC was supposed to be involved.Isn't the purrpose of TAC to help guide prioritization?

  • When are the "big things" going to happen? When will there be a clear idea of how it is coming together?

  • Roadmap hinges on voting.

  • How will Yale plug-in fit?  Plan is to roll-in to core. how not known yet. Considerable work to API for container model. Maybe next Quarter release. Yale work not quite completed. Hoping H-M can help with merge.

  • Consensus is that timeline would be very helpful for everyone.

  • How to increase transparency? There are open call-ins. maybe more insight into springt planning needed.
