AGENDA
1) [Paul] Higgins 1.1 release planning
. Project plan [1] Is this aligned with project metadata?
. Higgins 1.1 release milestone plan [2] - walk through
each solution and discuss
. New Higgins Overview 2010 [3]
. [Paul] We're getting back into the routine of the
Higgins calls and getting 1.1 out there. A lot of work has gone into1.1
quietly and into 2.0. Will get 1.1 out and then continue with 2.0. Since
it has been a long time since we have done a release we are a little rusty.
There is a lot of documenting and testing to do.
. [Paul] The first thing we ought to do is decide what we
want to do about milestone 1.1M8. We could change the date to today, take a
few things off and declare victory. All code has been contributed. There
were a bunch of remaining tasks in bugzilla that we were intending to
complete for 1.1. If we go through the 1.1M8 tasks, some are done, some are
not. We need to review all of these.
. [Paul] Look at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Higgins_1.1M8
- we'll go through these line by line.
. [Paul] Mary do you know where the item "Higgins website
converts bugs.php to new look and feel" needs to be done?
. [Mary] Yes, I can do that if it has been assigned back
to me
. [Paul] Have updated some of these. Will finish the rest
off line.
. [Paul] Next is [2] Mary, I assume we are not ready to
schedule a release review.
. [Mary] Need to figure out what we need to do to
schedule a release review
. [Paul] Solution wiki pages need to be updated. For each
build are supposed to have downloads tables for each solution. Need to
update the wiki and downloads pages and make it auto build. Traditionally
for the iPhone selector, Marcus has been very good about this. On the
iPhone selector there are two versions, maybe we should drop the version
that requires jail break on the phone.
. [Mike] Agreed.
. [John] I volunteered to the IMI TC how we could add
the new iPhone invocation to the IMI spec.
. [Paul] I'll reach out to Markus and ask him to update
this solution. I could rough out the new tables.
. [Mike] I'm a little concerned about how much work there
is and how much it could derail the developers. So I will ask Irena to work
on this. So it will not be done overnight. I'm hoping that after she does
the first one, and you verify it, then she can do the rest.
. [Paul] If she can just do what Markus does, that would
be good. There are developer conventions in the Higgins "How to get
involved" developer team page. There is guidance on how we do things.
. [Paul] July date.
. [Mike] Should leave the date there until we learn that
we can't? Probably need to get all of this done before the release review.
. [Mary] Yes, we need to get all of this done before the
release review.
. [Mike] Would Markus potentially be the person to
support the android phone?
. [Paul] There is a lot of interest in that. I will send
emails asking people to work on this.
. [Paul] After it is done, we can walk though the build
instructions to see if it works.
. [Mike] That is at least a week's worth of work.
. [Paul] We should keep card sync as experimental.
. [Paul] I believe that the other services haven't been
changed, so there won't be much work to verify it.
. [Paul] Need to update the project meta data.
. [Mary] Need to make sure that only approved components
are used for builds.
. [Paul] As a first step, we will update all the
components pages.
. [Paul] For ecosystem reasons I was hoping we could
create energy for Catalyst.
. [Mary] It is the week of July 26.
. [Paul] If July is really September, that would be bad.
. [Mike] Doing this before Catalyst would be great.
. [Mary] The theme of this year's Catalyst Interop is
Open Identity for Business. It will feature the US GSA profiles for IMI
Information Cards, OpenID and SAML. The focus is on business enablement
rather than just talking about protocols. We are featuring a healthcare
scenario.
. [Paul] We can show the AIR and iPhone selectors. What
about the Android and Cloud selectors?
. [John] The government demo participants are just for
IMI compliant stuff. Need to get invocation into IMI and also cloud
characteristic.
. [Mary] How soon can you get the new invocation into
IMI?
. [John] Mike is working on it. It could take 12+
months.
. [Paul] So for Catalyst it is mostly the AIR selector.
We have a potential to demonstrate the Higgins and Azigo card selectors and
CardPress. When can we have an RP to test against?
. [John] We will probably start with the RSA RP's. Pam
needs to make some changes to her font end software for accepting meta data.
. [Mike] When I create a new issue, I can't assign it. It
just goes to the component owners. Sometimes I want it to go to Irena.
(Will address off line.)
. [Mike] Are we meeting every week now?
. [Mary] Yes.
. [Paul] Bye.
