I manage a consolidation with a total of 2 developers. Even with this size the "gatekeeper" role is intact. I would suggest the wording be explicitly stated for the "gatekeeper". Then describe the role the "gatekeeper" conducts as part of the product release process.
Perhaps that would help - since none of the Desktop consolidations I've worked with have ever used the "gatekeeper" term, my knowledge is third hand from hearing ON people talk about what theirs does. We have release engineers who do the biweekly builds, deliver them to QA, and then to the WOS integration dock, but that's the closest equivalent to what I'm aware of the gatekeeper doing. They are also a permanent, full time job, not one of the development engineers who rotate in for each release, and work on all releases (right now, that's Solaris 8, 9, 10, & Nevada), not just one release. -- -Alan Coopersmith- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
