[10:24:48 AM] Steven: can we seek some general agreement about candidate functionality?
[10:24:53 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: ok
[10:24:57 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: This Agenda:
[10:25:12 AM] Victor Perez Juarez:  1.-Define a roadmap for 3.8.0
[10:25:13 AM] Steven: i would like to suggest it comes from many contributors
[10:25:30 AM] Steven: and be easily added..
[10:25:31 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: 2.- Define that contributions to be included in 3.8.0
[10:25:54 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: 3.- Define the release management activities
[10:26:19 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: 4.- Migrate our current repository code to github
[10:26:41 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: 5.- Define a dead line to release 3.8.0
[10:27:19 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: have you some other subject that you want add?
[10:27:42 AM] Pradeep Lavania: Hi All
[10:27:54 AM] Pradeep Lavania: I'm in....Sorry for being late...was stuck up in another meeting.
[10:27:57 AM] Steven: hi Pradeep
[10:27:58 AM] Schöneberg, Tobias (metas.de): [10:23 AM] Steven: 
<<< can we seek some general agreement about candidate functionality?sorry i didn't understand what you mean (just asking now because this might be another agenda item..?)
[10:28:22 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: hi Pradeep
[10:28:34 AM] Steven: sorry Tobias .. got ahead ..we should follow Victors plan
[10:28:41 AM] Schöneberg, Tobias (metas.de): ok
[10:29:46 AM] Paul Aviles: I will suggest that for every functional additon the proper test cases to be created at the very begining with the functionality
[10:30:14 AM] Pradeep Lavania: Agreed....Documented test cases created and available for general review and feedback...
[10:30:20 AM] Paul Aviles: the knowledge of the SME and the documentation is essential for this and cannot be done after several months
[10:31:02 AM] Paul Aviles: should we also propose that if the test case functionality is not included then the new enhancement will not be considered?
[10:31:39 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: ok Paul
[10:32:05 AM] Pradeep Lavania: I would vote for it....if there are test scenarios ....which should be PASSED before the functionality can be approved....either the contributor provides a fix in-time...or it would need to be left out
[10:32:20 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: 6.- Define as should be include of new fuctionality (test case , oficaill demo data , documentation , etc )?
[10:33:05 AM] Paul Aviles: correct victor, we should not take more code unless we know how to validate, test and with the proper functional test cases
[10:34:37 AM] Steven: Paul, can you give me an example because this is new stuff to me .. for something like, say, the GL Reconciliation module do you need more than the 15 pages Howto guide that we produced?
[10:35:02 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: ok then starting
[10:35:06 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: 1.-Define a roadmap for 3.8.0
[10:35:23 AM] Paul Aviles: Steve I have not see the doc you are refering,so if that is the case it should be fine
[10:35:41 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: I created a posible candidate functionality in this document
[10:35:42 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: https://docs.google.com/a/e-evolution.com/document/d/1PqNM0p53As4iUcrEo_eGBUtK9YyrhTDL7xiJ_87i_tY/edit
[10:36:03 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: aso the idea is include the must importat fuctionality that we can collect for 3.8.0
[10:36:31 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: I add the funcionality that e-Evolution are using, and that we know that it work
[10:36:45 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: but I think that other also can contribute
[10:37:01 AM] *** Victor Perez Juarez added Ramiro Vergara ***
[10:37:27 AM] Paul Aviles: is there a target date for the release? we need to make sure all the items on the list will be able to get included or need to prioritize them
[10:38:01 AM] Paul Aviles: is there perhaps a "must have" list?
[10:38:16 AM] Steven: ... and that the amount of effort is covered by our budget!
[10:38:24 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: Paul we need define, it is 5 list point
[10:38:35 AM | Edited 10:38:43 AM] Mark Ostermann: [10:36 AM] Paul Aviles: 
<<< is there a target date for the releaseyes, thats the question for us too. without a date we don't know how much functionaliteis we can put onto the raodmap list.
[10:38:36 AM] Paul Aviles: opps sorry
[10:38:37 AM] Mario Calderón: I suggest, we decide the target date after we know the functionality
[10:39:09 AM] Paul Aviles: so lets flipped it a bit, are there any must have?
[10:39:27 AM] Steven: good approach
[10:39:53 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: so the idea is that other can offert your contribution
[10:40:34 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: so e-Evolution and Adaxa we'd like others to join the list :)
[10:41:05 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: I know that Wallking Tree and Metas have contribution that would be included
[10:41:06 AM] Mark Ostermann: [10:39 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: 
<<< so e-Evolution and Adaxa we'd like others to join the list :)thanks for the invitation. metas joined. ;)
[10:41:41 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: of course any is welcome
[10:41:47 AM] suman ravuri: Can we update the document you shared?
[10:42:02 AM] suman ravuri: with WTC(Walkingtree)  items?
[10:42:11 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: yes of course
[10:42:20 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: please
[10:42:37 AM] Pradeep Lavania: Suman, please do check if you have the write permissions....
[10:43:01 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: I give permissions for public access
[10:43:07 AM] Pradeep Lavania: great
[10:44:05 AM] Pradeep Lavania: So...do we fix a target date and then scope-in the items that can be released within the timeframe.....OR should be scope-in the must haves and good to haves ....and then come up with a timeframe for it ?
[10:44:51 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: than you for complete the list, now we should define the rules  to include
[10:45:00 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: 2.- Define that contributions to be included in 3.8.0
[10:45:08 AM] Paul Aviles: as with any release we should have bug fixes, must have and enhacements
[10:45:58 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: yes
[10:46:24 AM] Steven: perhaps we can get the complete candidate list and try to rank?
[10:46:26 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: I will like that the release management define the rules to release
[10:46:59 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: for example if we need release candidate candidate 1 , 2 3 until get a stable version
[10:47:22 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: good idea Steven
[10:47:37 AM] Mark Ostermann: ... or we define release dates and take what is "finished" until that date
[10:47:55 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: I se only the contribution of Adaxa that I know and are into our current repository
[10:48:17 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: so Steven please add or remove if you need
[10:48:21 AM] Mark Ostermann: this way we can have target dates for releases that contributors/ community can plan for
[10:48:29 AM] Colin Rooney: hi all
[10:48:30 AM] Paul Aviles: i like steven's idea, lets rank and estimate an approx effort and timeline for everyone
[10:48:35 AM] Mark Ostermann: hi colin
[10:48:38 AM] Colin Rooney: hi all
[10:48:47 AM] Steven: hi Colin
[10:48:47 AM] Colin Rooney: opps .. sorry :)
[10:48:54 AM] Mario Calderón: hi colin
[10:49:12 AM] Pradeep Lavania: I would second the thought of scoping the items and then defining a feasible timeline to achieve it....
[10:49:20 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: Hi Colin
[10:49:42 AM] Paul Aviles: should we all then agree to that approach of ranking, estimating and prioritizing?
[10:50:28 AM] Mark Ostermann: [10:48 AM] Pradeep Lavania: 
<<< I would second the thought of scoping the items and then defining a feasible timeline to achieve it....... and when the timeline turns out to be not sufficient the release is moved later?
[10:50:33 AM] Pradeep Lavania: Listing, ranking/prioritization, estimating and releasing
[10:51:31 AM] Pradeep Lavania: Or may be the next set of items could be 3.8.X
[10:51:44 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: ok , then we need finish with the contribution list, after we include the ranking/prioritization
[10:52:47 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: Steven How do you suggest we do the ranking / prioritization?
[10:54:30 AM] Steven: do others agree we also have some overall priorities, java 7,  contributions from many parties to avoid politics, not have functional items in idempiere which are not in adempiere .. especially if they started in adempiere.
[10:55:03 AM] Mark Ostermann: [10:51 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: 

<<< Steven How do you suggest we do the ranking / prioritization?sorry, but i don't understand why ranking/ priotizing? is this for the Release Manager to decide what to integrate first, second ...?
[10:55:28 AM] Karsten Thiemann: I agree that java 7 needs to be a high priority
[10:56:13 AM] suman ravuri: +1 for java 7
[10:56:22 AM] Steven: Mark, I think there will be "easy" stuff and important stuff and as usual they wont be the same :(
[10:56:41 AM] Karsten Thiemann: java 6 is already deprecated
[10:57:09 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: yes ,this are migrated and current development repositorio
[10:57:39 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: but now we need agrement how should define of  ranking or prioritization
[10:57:45 AM] Mark Ostermann: @Steven: So it's about steering/ organising not allready exiting contributions in community?
[10:57:59 AM] Mark Ostermann: and not about roadmap?
[10:58:00 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: so we can only define a list and voting
[10:58:03 AM] Paul Aviles: personally I have seen release managers working with buiness priorities, and yes some are technical, but the business usually decides what goes first. I dont know honestly what the power of one vs the other are being considered here, but I will suggest this gets addressed asap to avoid the problems we had in the past
[10:59:11 AM] Pradeep Lavania: Ok..I would think the idea should be to Include ALL that we can find eligible....
[10:59:25 AM] Steven: @Mark, I get the feeling that the work of Victor focussed on what was available .. from Victor and from Adaxa .. my view is that the contributors should be much broader even if we hold some candiddate material of Victor or adaxa back.
[10:59:33 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: MArk in general this functionality are work in proate repositories , so that idea is contribute in a general adempiere version
[10:59:46 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: the road map will created based in this approach
[10:59:47 AM] Pradeep Lavania: If something falls in place with standards and expectations with the release managers and qualifies in QA...should be included...
[11:00:24 AM] Mark Ostermann: @Steven, Victor: Agree. but why priotize then? Why not leave the Release Manager "First come, first serve"?
[11:00:47 AM] Mark Ostermann: if a contribute provides something for a release and all documentation and testing is done
[11:00:51 AM] Paul Aviles: how come first serve will take any priority over a security issue?
[11:01:30 AM] Mario Calderón: may I suggest to complete the list? I think OFB, Walking Tree and Metas might put down their contributions
[11:01:30 AM] Paul Aviles: or a feature that most if not all could take advantage?
[11:01:34 AM] Colin Rooney: Sounds like an Agile approach ... back your list - call it the backlog
[11:01:34 AM] Mark Ostermann: @paul. im talking about the release manager work prio not the importance of fixing something
[11:01:40 AM] Paul Aviles: k
[11:01:47 AM] Mark Ostermann: @colin: agree
[11:01:50 AM] Colin Rooney: then chose the first thing to do ... give it a short "sprint" time of a week
[11:01:50 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: Ok simpler then define the requirements for listing, and this defines the end is included and not
[11:02:01 AM] Colin Rooney: and whern it's done look at the backlog again for the next item
[11:02:03 AM] Colin Rooney: ?
[11:02:28 AM] Teodor Sarca: maybe it would be better to define which are the requirements for something to be contributable, and then see which of current items respect all the requirements and then prioritize. because i have the feeling there are not so many, and in meantime the RM can take one by one an integrate
[11:02:33 AM] Mark Ostermann: @colin: thats why i think we should have fix release dates, and then choose what we will put into that release
[11:02:42 AM] suman ravuri: We need release the funtionality which community needs first, If one of the feature more customers are asking then we need to prioritize that
[11:02:45 AM] Colin Rooney: @Teo; agree
[11:02:56 AM] Mark Ostermann: @teo. yepp
[11:03:22 AM] Mario Calderón: can then Metas and Walking Tree complete the list?
[11:03:27 AM] Steven: @Teo, agree
[11:03:28 AM] Karsten Thiemann: @Teo right
[11:03:38 AM] Mark Ostermann: @mario. already done
[11:03:43 AM] Mario Calderón: and Adaxa and eEvolution verify??
[11:03:58 AM] Mario Calderón: oops! :$
[11:04:03 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: @Teo we are agree
[11:04:24 AM] Pradeep Lavania: @Teo...Agree
[11:04:29 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: Requirements for contribution:
[11:04:34 AM] Mario Calderón: I miss a lot of Adaxa
[11:05:35 AM] Mark Ostermann: i believe it would be good to draw the line betwen Release Manager - Technical Team - Functional Team first
[11:05:58 AM | Edited 11:07:49 AM] Mark Ostermann: because at the moment I believe we are discussing stuff that has been discussed long before http://www.adempiere.com/Software_Development_Procedure
[11:06:09 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: 1. - Requires the documented contribution
[11:07:28 AM] Paul Aviles: victor you BOM import is for regular MTO/MTS and not for variant confiurable materials correct?
[11:07:48 AM] Mario Calderón: @Mark: actually, the Functional Team would select WHAT comes in, the Technical Team decides HOW to be done it, and the RM DOES it, supported by the teams. But now, we are boot-strapping, and somehow wh mix functions
[11:07:57 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: 2.- The code should meet the ABP or use best practices in java ie (Design Patterns)
[11:08:52 AM] Colin Rooney: @Mario, yes I se etasks as...
[11:08:52 AM] Colin Rooney: List new functionality Define what defines "ready" functionality
Add what meets "ready" status to the "backlog"
Each week the business team decides what functionality is selected from the backlog 
and the technical team(s) estimate time 1-2 weeks max to integrate
[11:08:59 AM] Mark Ostermann: [11:06 AM] Mario Calderón: 
<<< @Mark: actually, the Functional Team would select WHAT comes in, the Technical Team decides HOW to be done it, and the RM DOES it, supported by the teams.agree ;)
[11:09:25 AM | Edited 11:10:04 AM] Mark Ostermann: so now back to the question, why define a roadmap first, and then the date of release?
[11:09:45 AM | Edited 11:11:02 AM] Mark Ostermann: because the FT/ TT cannot decide before seeing the contribution (documentation, functionality, tests, code ...)
[11:10:28 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: can define the requirement
[11:10:33 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: please
[11:11:14 AM | Edited 11:12:06 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: so I think that  Pradeep Lavania and Suman shoud define that should have
[11:12:55 AM | Edited 11:13:23 AM] Mark Ostermann: so the rodmap should be an ADempiere roadmap/ contribution container -> Backlog, and not a release 3.x roadmap
[11:12:58 AM] Pradeep Lavania: I would be happy to create a documentation around the "required attributes" of a releasable item
[11:13:13 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: and make simple  the release
[11:13:45 AM] Mark Ostermann: [11:12 AM] Pradeep Lavania: 
<<< I would be happy to create a documentation around the "required attributes" of a releasable item+1
[11:14:21 AM | Edited 11:14:33 AM] Mario Calderón: @Mark, agree. That's what it is.
But: roadmap sounds better doesn't it ? ;)
[11:14:32 AM] Teodor Sarca: +1
[11:15:39 AM] Steven: @Mark,  the Functional Team would select WHAT comes in, the Technical Team decides HOW it is to be done, and the RM DOES it, supported by the teams.... and the RM decides what is able to go in easily, is of high standard?  If it needs more work it is the RMs decision?
[11:15:43 AM] Mark Ostermann: [11:13 AM] Mario Calderón: 

<<< @Mark, agree. That's what it is.but its called "ADempiere 3.8.0 Road Map". should be called "ADempiere Roadmap" then. or not?
[11:16:07 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: I agree on a road map, the community always asked this, we had criticized for not having one
[11:16:07 AM] Mark Ostermann: because we from ft/ tt cannot decide until now if it's in next release or not
[11:16:19 AM] Mark Ostermann: [11:15 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: 
<<< I agree on a road map, the community always asked this, we had criticized for not having one+1
[11:16:37 AM] Paul Aviles: https://docs.google.com/a/e-evolution.com/document/d/1PqNM0p53As4iUcrEo_eGBUtK9YyrhTDL7xiJ_87i_tY/edit?pli=1
[11:16:55 AM] Paul Aviles: scroll over there is a grid with the list of items, it is large in my opinion
[11:17:14 AM] Paul Aviles: put priotity and effort to get an idea how long this all will take
[11:17:58 AM | Edited 11:18:07 AM] Mario Calderón: @Pradeep: I think ou can put your contributions in the table
[11:17:59 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: I remember at the last conference germany someone ask about the roadmap, and we could not give an answer
[11:18:43 AM] Pradeep Lavania: See the way I see it.....
Let us get the complete list of available items ( Adaxa, Metas, WTC, eEvolution,etc )
let us have a criteria to qualify each of these items against the eligibility to release ( fix/enhancement/high priority, standards, documentations, QA, etc )
Lets us put a tentative release date based on the overall scope
Put each of the item against the qualifying criteria and report back to the respective teams in case an items falls short of release criteria
If the teams are able to respond within time, RM team would take responsibility to work to include it...
Finally, we might have to reschedule the release for justified reasons, but i think this would be fair/smooth way to meet the release 3.8.0
[11:18:48 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: I know a road map should have dates, but it is important to have a goal
[11:19:09 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: So that I think that Colin have a good propouse
[11:19:26 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: List new functionality
Define what defines "ready" functionality
Add what meets "ready" status to the "backlog"
Each week the business team decides what functionality is selected from the backlog 
and the technical team(s) estimate time 1-2 weeks max to integrate
[11:20:49 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: @Pradeep Lavania, agree
[11:21:09 AM] Steven: @Pradeep Lavania, agree also
[11:21:21 AM] Pradeep Lavania: @Mario, already added a few items in the list...will add more...as they are under internal review to be finalized to be contributed
[11:21:23 AM | Edited 11:22:25 AM] Mario Calderón: @all
should we we put it as a task for all of us to complete the list ASAP?
and put some information beside it to integrate it?
We meet soon and we decide about the list. 
We move on to the next agenda item
[11:21:45 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: ok
[11:22:12 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: ready
[11:22:20 AM] Paul Aviles: agreed
[11:22:28 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: the I think we can continue with next subject
[11:22:37 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: 3.- Define the release management activities
[11:23:11 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: I think that Steven told about the this activities with wallking tree
[11:24:10 AM] John Daison Agudelo S.: @Pradeep Lavania, We are agree
[11:24:51 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: So I want know if Pradeep and Suman know
[11:25:37 AM] Pradeep Lavania: I understand, 
Code review from technical/standards perspective, 
Coordinate with respective teams in case of issues identified
Merging into the trunk, 
Hosted integrated solution Availability for General Testing, 
QA report, 
Coordinate with respective teams in case of issues identified
request Approval from FT/TT
once approved consider finalized
[11:26:19 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: Of course we expect contributors collaboration, to support the release mangement
[11:27:08 AM] Pradeep Lavania: Use case/Test case documentation, functional documentations, etc....or the required information case-to-case would be requested and expected from the Contributors
[11:27:34 AM] Paul Aviles: Pradeep they should come from whomever is the SME
[11:27:45 AM] Pradeep Lavania: Even the commentary in the code would be required.
[11:28:27 AM] Pradeep Lavania: @Paul....Could be. But I would think the Contributors to take the responsibility of supplying it and SMEs approval could be a part of the approval process
[11:28:27 AM] Mark Ostermann: [11:17 AM] Pradeep Lavania: 
<<< Finally, we might have to reschedule the release for justified reasons, but i think this would be fair/smooth way to meet the release 3.8.0Really don't want to bee picke, but we have decided once in FT/ TT that we would like to work like this: http://www.adempiere.com/Software_Development_Procedure#Software_Production_Cycle
[11:28:51 AM] Mark Ostermann: Development Phase (3 Months), Stabilization Phase (1 month), Release
[11:28:57 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: I'd think that should also review and place the documentation in a single format, of course based on the documentation of the contributor
[11:29:21 AM] Mark Ostermann: so if we don't want this anymore we should at least have a change discussion and decision
[11:29:48 AM] Mario Calderón: I think we should stick to it as much as we can
[11:31:00 AM] Mario Calderón: @Pradeep, Suman: in this process, the Release Manager should be also active, asking the people to do what they agreed to do
[11:31:28 AM] Mario Calderón: because we all are busy and tend to let things rest...
[11:32:02 AM | Edited 11:32:17 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: @Mark The problem with this approach is that it is very long, many do not have the time for it, so I would think that once defined the general plan, Wallking Tree works with the Contributors, and move faster
[11:32:21 AM] Pradeep Lavania: @Mario....yes. RM would drive the release....but in case the contributors are not able to meet certain timelines to respond back....the priority for inclusion in the release might be downgraded.
[11:32:39 AM] Mario Calderón: agree
[11:33:06 AM] John Daison Agudelo S.: We need a process more agile to release more often
[11:33:13 AM] Mark Ostermann: [11:31 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: 
<<< @Mark The problem with this approach is that it is very long, many do not have the time for it, so I would think that once defined the general plan, Wallking Tree works with the Contributors, and move fasterwhy? the contributors pace decides what comes into a sprint?
[11:33:34 AM] John Daison Agudelo S.: We have a 1 year delay ADempiere 3.8
[11:33:41 AM] Karsten Thiemann: yes - I think it is very important to show more activity
[11:33:54 AM] Mark Ostermann: if we don't fix the release date, the contributors pace decides about the release date
[11:34:04 AM] Mark Ostermann: so whats better?
[11:34:33 AM] Teodor Sarca: [11:32 AM] John Daison Agudelo S.: 

<<< We need a process more agile to release more oftenchange the values (from 4months to something smaller), but why changing the principle?
[11:34:41 AM] Paul Aviles: I think there is also a budget number to be considered no?
[11:34:50 AM] Mario Calderón: @all: I think we have an official Procedure.
We make the list.
We see to that the contributions fit into the procedure
[11:34:52 AM] Mark Ostermann: [11:33 AM] Teodor Sarca: 
<<< change the values (from 4months to something smaller), but why changing the principle?ok for me
[11:35:05 AM] Steven: Mark .. if we don't fix the release date, the contributors pace decides about the release date ... no the RM just cuts it out
[11:35:08 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: So I think that the functional or technical team team they would take the last decision on a contribution, if you have any questions wallking tree inclusion, after review by them
[11:36:14 AM] Mark Ostermann: [11:34 AM] Steven: 
<<< no the RM just cuts it out[11:17 AM] Pradeep Lavania: 
<<< Finally, we might have to reschedule the release for justified reasons
[11:36:21 AM] Mark Ostermann: thats why im discussing
[11:36:40 AM | Edited 11:36:53 AM] Mark Ostermann: because it seems as if the RM will want to reschedule then ;)
[11:36:48 AM] Mario Calderón: the contributor is kindly asked to match the procedure, or the FT/TT/community does it
[11:38:01 AM] Paul Aviles: I am sorry, I am a bit lost, what is being discussed? need to make sure I understand for the minutes
[11:38:12 AM] Mark Ostermann: another BIG advantage of having fixed Release dates is about decisions what comes into next release and what not
[11:38:18 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: @Mark, I think we should change, that did not work in the past, there were no regular meetings functional or technical team team, my fear is that continue well
[11:38:49 AM] Mario Calderón: @all: if the contribution is functionally OK, but there are some steps in the procedure missing, we can mark it as "beta"
What do you think about it?
[11:38:56 AM] Teodor Sarca: the software development procedure that we voted last time (long time ago), would act like a drummer, contribute it or not, a release will happen... that's what is wanted in open source projects. we did not respected it in past, but that's not approach's fault
[11:39:20 AM] Mario Calderón: @Teo: agree
[11:39:32 AM] Schöneberg, Tobias (metas.de): @Teo aggree
[11:39:34 AM] Mario Calderón: we should stick to it, as much as we can
[11:39:37 AM] Karsten Thiemann: yes
[11:39:37 AM] Mark Ostermann: +1
[11:39:44 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: agree Teo
[11:39:55 AM] Mario Calderón: but also we should be pragmatical
[11:40:19 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: @Teo,  Now as we make it work
[11:40:45 AM] Mark Ostermann: great, so we can stick to our procedure ;)
[11:41:26 AM | Edited 11:42:02 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: there is commitment to functional and technical teams to devote hours to the project defined, as the agreement said
[11:41:53 AM] Mark Ostermann: yepp
[11:42:26 AM | Edited 11:42:39 AM] Mario Calderón: @all, now that we are synched, can the moderator resume what we've up to know, and what we do have still to discuss?
[11:42:31 AM] Paul Aviles: 1.- Define a roadmap for 3.8.0
2.- Define that contributions to be included in 3.8.0
3.- Define the release management activities
4.- Migrate our current repository code to github
5.- Define a dead line to release 3.8.0
[11:42:40 AM] Paul Aviles: which one are we discussing?
[11:43:45 AM] Mark Ostermann: [11:41 AM] Paul Aviles: 
<<< 1.- Define a roadmap for 3.8.0this one is Roadmap for ADempiere (as we discussed)
[11:43:52 AM] Steven: sorry, i have to go .. getting close to 2:00 am here . is the very first step getting for each of us to get our possible contributions into a form that WT can work with. is there an agreed format (in the wiki) Should WT review in case thet have suggestions?  then can we get a copy
[11:43:59 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: about the time and dead lines, rather than tree wallking check the functionality and propose dates cycles and since it is a job they have to do, of course this has to be reasonable for sponsors
[11:44:29 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: Paul we are in of dicusion of 2 and 3 subject
[11:44:38 AM] Teodor Sarca: @Steven, good night
[11:44:43 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: the way how we need work
[11:44:50 AM] Steven: bye all
[11:44:56 AM] Paul Aviles: bye steve
[11:45:00 AM] Paul Aviles: night mate
[11:45:09 AM | Edited 11:45:34 AM] Mark Ostermann: the procedure is roadmap -> contributes plans to be finished until ... -> FT check -> TT check -> RM List. correct?
[11:45:11 AM] Pradeep Lavania: Good Night Steve
[11:45:12 AM] Mark Ostermann: right?
[11:45:16 AM | Edited 11:46:38 AM] Mark Ostermann: bye steven
[11:45:58 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: bye Steven
[11:46:05 AM] Mark Ostermann: so we can have the list for walking tree as soon as FT and TT have agreed
[11:46:27 AM] Mark Ostermann: to certain contributions
[11:47:37 AM] suman ravuri: can we put time line for this?
[11:47:52 AM] Mark Ostermann: so th contributors should now provide their functionalities/ improvements with documentations, tests ... so that the teams can start working
[11:47:59 AM] Mario Calderón: @Mark: this is it
[11:48:30 AM | Edited 11:48:39 AM] Mark Ostermann: [11:46 AM] suman ravuri: 
<<< can we put time line for this?yepp, let's start with regular FT/ TT Meetings again
[11:48:33 AM] Mario Calderón: @Suman: this shold be ASAP
[11:48:48 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: may be that contributes plans to be finished -> Wallkin tree make first revision and give a general diagnostic of contribution , then ask for FT and TT if exist some dubut, if not only notifies to teams
[11:49:01 AM | Edited 11:49:50 AM] Mario Calderón: I will put a line in the document: "comply to the procedure" or similar
[11:49:36 AM] Pradeep Lavania: Can we meet in another week ( 3rd June ) to discuss the list of items that we see coming from the contributors.....
[11:50:02 AM] Pradeep Lavania: atleast we get to see the Final-Final list that we can call as "available contribution"
[11:50:39 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: Pradeep Lavania, we should have a meeting for week
[11:50:46 AM] Pradeep Lavania: Meanwhile...We would also document and share the "proposed" process as the qualifying criteria for inclusion in the release
[11:50:50 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: as minimal
[11:51:42 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: @Pradeep  is very important, so that it work will usefull in next contributions
[11:51:51 AM] Mario Calderón: may I suggest that the matter or repository is discussed anyway? this is a technical matter
[11:51:55 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: yes
[11:52:09 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: MArio let conclude this subject with a summary
[11:53:44 AM] suman ravuri: when is next FT/TT meeting scheduled
[11:53:50 AM] Mario Calderón: I will ask Norbert to include Pradeep and Suman in the Technical Team
[11:54:01 AM] Paul Aviles: do we have any deliverables from this meeting?
[11:54:12 AM] Mark Ostermann: [11:52 AM] suman ravuri: 
<<< when is next FT/TT meeting scheduledsuggestion: same time next week?
[11:54:19 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: Functional and technical teams must work closely with wallking  Tree in realizing the plan
[11:54:33 AM] Pradeep Lavania: I would like to share a "Proposed process" document to all of you....as a follow up to this meeting
[11:54:38 AM] Mario Calderón: I would like that the issue of repositoty is discussed
[11:54:56 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: Functional and Team hope we can keep up with release management
[11:55:09 AM] Mario Calderón: perhaps not here and now, but the technical people should take a descision soon
[11:55:39 AM] Mario Calderón: @Pradeep: go ahead
[11:55:49 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: next subject 4.- Migrate our current repository code to github
[11:56:20 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: @Pradeep  agree
[11:56:41 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: about the currect repository
[11:56:55 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: we have a lot the issues with current repository
[11:57:12 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: 1.- the sourceforget not work before migration
[11:57:52 AM] Schöneberg, Tobias (metas.de): [11:54 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: 
<<<  4.- Migrate our current repository code to githubi thought that now SF is updated, those problems are history..arent' they?
[11:57:54 AM] Trifon: @Victor every Distributed SCM will have problems with huge repo like ADempeire
[11:58:01 AM] Trifon: i think we should move back to SVN.
[11:58:05 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: 2.- The community complains that our repository is very large, it is impossible to download
[11:59:21 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: 3.- Sourceforget no tiene un servicio para descargar solo un branch o el codigo como github or bitbucket
[11:59:38 AM] Teodor Sarca: :)
[11:59:49 AM] Schöneberg, Tobias (metas.de): [11:57 AM] Victor Perez Juarez: 
<<< 2.- The community complains that our repository is very large, it is impossible to downloadhow would this be better using github?
[12:00:02 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: 4.- Sourceforget is very slow
[12:00:18 PM] Paul Aviles: isnt the whole repo less than 2 GB?
[12:00:28 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: So the propouse is move anyother place to solve this issue
[12:00:32 PM] Schöneberg, Tobias (metas.de): regarding that problem (big repo) in general, we can move the jar's out of the repo and download them as part of the build provess..it's not a difficult thing
[12:00:41 PM] Paul Aviles: can we move the report to one of the DE servers?
[12:00:47 PM] Paul Aviles: repo sorry...
[12:00:49 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: the 2 alternatives is or github or bitbucket
[12:01:26 PM] suman ravuri: [11:59 AM] Schöneberg, Tobias (metas.de): 
<<< regarding that problem (big repo) in general, we can move the jar's out of the repo and download them as part of the build provess..it's not a difficult thingMavenization with combination of artifactory we can do this
[12:01:37 PM] Trifon: @Pauls less then 2 GB :)
[12:01:45 PM] Paul Aviles: du -hs /opt/hg-repositories/adempiere.hg
1.8G    /opt/hg-repositories/adempiere.hg
[12:01:53 PM] Paul Aviles: so what is the issue of downloading?
[12:01:59 PM] Trifon: in fact to build adempeire you just need specific version or trunk... not the whole history
[12:02:03 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: you can ask of Trifon
[12:02:27 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: or any contributor that have not the networking that exist in USA ;)
[12:02:34 PM | Edited 12:03:08 PM] Schöneberg, Tobias (metas.de): [12:00 PM] suman ravuri: 
<<< Mavenization with combination of artifactory we can do thiseasier: we can extend the ant build-files using maven-ant tasks, to so the downloading
..and most of the jars are already in ADeV nexus (thx to silvano)
[12:03:00 PM] Teodor Sarca: [12:00 PM] Trifon: 
<<< in fact to build adempeire you just need specific version or trunk... not the whole historythat problem can be easily solved by having -source.zips near the release... but as a developer, i consider having all the repo on my machine it's helpful
[12:03:02 PM] Paul Aviles: I think we will have much better code and control using maveninging and nexus
[12:03:19 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: pros and cons
[12:03:50 PM | Edited 12:04:37 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: 1.- in github we have the adempiere domain, Teo ask and we have the control, in bitbucket we have not , but should use any other domain as adempiereERP
[12:04:45 PM] Schöneberg, Tobias (metas.de): so do we in SF and bitbucket :)
[12:05:01 PM] Schöneberg, Tobias (metas.de): we don'T have it in bitbucket??
[12:05:24 PM | Edited 12:05:46 PM] Teodor Sarca: imho, if possible, i would avoid switching the repo type... remember that we had problems, last time, when we switched from SVN to mercurial
[12:05:36 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: 2.- compression algorithms, so the pulls and push are more efficient than in mercurial
[12:06:15 PM] Paul Aviles: you can do compression on both http and ssh access victor under hg
[12:06:32 PM] Victor Perez Juarez:  3.- Git to download only the branch with which you're working, so it is more efficient than mercury that do not require the whole story
[12:07:15 PM] Teodor Sarca: 3. ... that's an advantage and a disadvantage in the same time
[12:07:19 PM] Paul Aviles: I think this will delay anything on the roadmap, lets consider  that too please
[12:07:46 PM] Teodor Sarca: agree
[12:08:04 PM | Edited 12:08:28 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: 4.-  Many open source projects currently working with github, so it is highly recommended by the developers of other projects
[12:08:07 PM] Mario Calderón: is the repository switch Prio 1?
[12:08:21 PM] Mark Ostermann: @paul: agree. don't see the importance to dicsuss migration to other repos now.
[12:08:23 PM] Mario Calderón: or can it be done after the release of 3.8?
[12:09:01 PM] suman ravuri: [12:07 PM] Mario Calderón: 
<<< or can it be done after the release of 3.8?agree, in keeping 3.8 release perpective

> I think this will delay anything on the roadmap, lets consider  that too please
I Agree
[12:09:04 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: 5.- bitbucket only allows four free accounts, I think we will be sufficient for the future
[12:09:08 PM] Paul Aviles: agree victor, it is more popular, but is that a technical limitation? if anyone does not have 2 GB of space locally on their computers they need a new one and a bigger internet connection
[12:09:25 PM] Paul Aviles: what else is not working in hg?
[12:10:26 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: in sourceforget not work the commits history
[12:10:39 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: we have not browser navegation
[12:10:49 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: and a compare the change log
[12:11:09 PM] Paul Aviles: ok that is an issue they need to fix, has anyone contacted them and open a case and do we have a documented answer from SF?
[12:11:45 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: not work
[12:11:46 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: https://sourceforge.net/p/adempiere/code/ref/default/
[12:12:01 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: https://sourceforge.net/p/adempiere/code/commit_browser
[12:12:01 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: not work
[12:12:14 PM] Paul Aviles: ok but you can use tortoise or any of the hg clients out there
[12:12:39 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: we ask the SF team , Mario made and they no anware
[12:12:56 PM] Paul Aviles: i can take that since they are here in US
[12:13:28 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: we need basic services , you can compare
[12:13:29 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: https://github.com/adempiere/extension_libero_manufacturing
[12:13:41 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: commit history
[12:13:42 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: https://github.com/adempiere/extension_libero_manufacturing/commits/master
[12:13:44 PM] Paul Aviles: look, if we are going to change lets decide and change, but for me this is just a tool and there are ways around to work with it, being that it was a pain to switch in the first place. This will delay anything for a few months
[12:13:59 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: the change log
[12:14:00 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: https://github.com/adempiere/extension_libero_manufacturing/commit/3c3520d2e2ca19cc29fa9e8630718f5a02051f3b
[12:14:16 PM] Paul Aviles: I agree victor, but I can see them also in my hg client without any issues
[12:14:37 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: So I think we should have a respectable space to work :)
[12:14:57 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: and current sf does not meet the expectations
[12:15:17 PM] Paul Aviles: Ok, is there then a motion to move away from HG in SF?
[12:15:39 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: the problem is not like you so you can watch your client, if not the image you reflect project out
[12:15:56 PM] Mario Calderón: @all: again here: can Victor, Tobi, Teo , Suman, etc. meet?
there the problems are discussed and a resolution taken
[12:16:27 PM] Mario Calderón: then we decide to migrate or not, and if yes- when
[12:17:11 PM] Teodor Sarca: fully agree with Victor, but imho this will add another sand bag to the balon that we struggle to lift ;)
[12:17:15 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: the current environment is a mess, any new contributor comes when you see sf services will not work, not to have a change control system decent
[12:17:36 PM] Paul Aviles: why did we move in the first place then?
[12:17:59 PM] Schöneberg, Tobias (metas.de): imho it did beat svn :)
[12:18:09 PM] Trifon: @Paul SVN was just fine.
[12:18:34 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: Trifon the issue with SVN
[12:18:41 PM] Schöneberg, Tobias (metas.de): maybe we can set up this migration effort like a contribution ?
[12:18:50 PM] Trifon: SVN did not had issues with SVN.
[12:18:54 PM] Schöneberg, Tobias (metas.de): with a concept and documentation
[12:19:00 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: is that not allow execute the development procedure
[12:19:00 PM] John Daison Agudelo S.: I agree with Victor But maybe make this in another moment may be after of release 3.8
[12:19:10 PM] suman ravuri: Let us not get into that discussion now
[12:19:12 PM] Trifon: I was receving email for each commit in SVN. something which is not working with Marcurial
[12:19:30 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: We certainly require a distributed change control
[12:20:06 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: so we need move if not github for any other place that can work
[12:20:08 PM] Trifon: I doubt that such HUGE code require Distrubted SCM. Look at the compplains in the forums about the size of the repo and downlaod speed.
[12:20:24 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: becasue current sf not allow as we should work
[12:20:50 PM] Mark Ostermann: @all: a nontechnical point of view about SF vs. bitbucket/ githib. SF has > 200.000 Projects. ADempiere was once in the Top 10. Would be a great aim to manage to get back there. I don't know if it is a great deal to get into the top 10 of bb/ gh. just my 2 cents.
[12:20:50 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: @Trifon, I know
[12:21:15 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: and git solve this issue allow to development only download the branch that you need not all repository
[12:21:43 PM] Teodor Sarca: [12:19 PM] Trifon: 
<<< I doubt that such HUGE code require Distrubted SCM. Look at the compplains in the forums about the size of the repo and downlaod speed.i think that sites like bitbucket or github offers some SVN bridge ....
[12:21:45 PM] suman ravuri: [12:18 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: 
<<< We certainly require a distributed change controlAgree, some one will start working on it, but may not be pat of 3.8 release
[12:21:47 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: So I think that the important here is no is if not move or not
[12:21:53 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: ifnot how will solve this issues
[12:22:31 PM] Paul Aviles: can someone put together a list of item to address with SF and I will address with them please
[12:22:39 PM] Mark Ostermann: ok, just seen that gh has more than 5 mio repos
[12:22:39 PM] Paul Aviles: lets move to the next item
[12:23:32 PM] Schöneberg, Tobias (metas.de): @paul: agree, i don't think we can come to a good conclusion this time
[12:23:37 PM] Teodor Sarca: can we come to a conclusion on this one? my conclusion is: i won't change this before release
[12:23:42 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: So I propose to Paul as the defender of mercurial, to solve the problems if this is resuleto promise to say no more of mercurial ;)
[12:23:45 PM] Paul Aviles: @Teo agree
[12:24:03 PM] Mark Ostermann: @teo: +1
[12:24:10 PM] Paul Aviles: I am no defender of it, I hate the damn thing... but I manage to make it work
[12:24:50 PM] Paul Aviles: get me the list and I can address with SF, it is up to them to fix their issues
[12:25:05 PM] Paul Aviles: or give us a "roadmap"
[12:25:14 PM] John Daison Agudelo S.: @teo: I agree
[12:25:36 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: just remember Trifon point, not everyone has good network connections that are in the U.S. or Europe
[12:25:40 PM] Paul Aviles: so Victor can you send me the list of HG issues?
[12:26:27 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: Pradep what is repository that use Wallking Tree  for your developments?
[12:26:31 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: yes Paul

<<< just remember Trifon point, not everyone has good network connections that are in the U.S. or Europei think we can put the repo on something like bittorrent or other download sites... after u have the repo, updating it with latest commits it's piece of cake... just loud thinking
[12:27:59 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: yes , Teo we need fix the old notice
[12:28:07 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: becasue with the migration it not work
[12:28:23 PM] Schöneberg, Tobias (metas.de): [12:24 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: 
<<< just remember Trifon point, not everyone has good network connections that are in the U.S. or Europebefore going through another migration, i would like to have some concept, and a discussion of workarounds (e.g. there no need to check out the full repo) and fixes for the problems the have with SF
[12:28:33 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: before any commit was send the development mail list
[12:28:40 PM] Teodor Sarca: not to add that, if u have slow connection, accessing the history in SVN or similar is a huge pain.... so win some, lose some...
[12:28:43 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: now it not si work
[12:29:26 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: a decision we can make is to leave the story up to date
[12:29:51 PM] Paul Aviles: guys I deal everyday with issues connecting to SAP in Walldorf and I garantee you that more people download updates and access SAP than adempiere, speed is not controlled by the dvcs
[12:31:01 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: ok
[12:31:04 PM] Paul Aviles: item 5 was the deadline for release 3.8, I guess we dont have that?
[12:31:29 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: then the subject of agenda 4.- Migrate our current repository code to github change for :
[12:31:47 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: 4.- Solve the issue with the curent mercurial repository
[12:32:04 PM] Teodor Sarca: agree
[12:32:10 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: 5.- Define a dead line to release 3.8.0
[12:32:20 PM] Mark Ostermann: [12:30 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: 
<<< 4.- Solve the issue with the curent mercurial repository+1
[12:32:45 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: I think that wallking tree should have an dead line dates
[12:32:54 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: based on your revision
[12:33:05 PM] Mark Ostermann: nope, don't think so
[12:33:18 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: of course this shoudl be review for FT and TT
[12:33:40 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: and the dates should be acceptables with our goal
[12:33:48 PM] Teodor Sarca: i think this shall somehow relate with our dev. cycle and maybe....
[12:33:50 PM] Teodor Sarca: [11:33 AM] Teodor Sarca: 
<<< We need a process more agile to release more oftenchange the values (from 4months to something smaller), but why changing the principle?
[12:33:54 PM] Mark Ostermann: the deadline can already be defined
[12:34:06 PM] Victor Perez Juarez: so we should give some estimate dates
