Minutes

Minutes/Conclusions Reached:
' Jane called the meeting to order at 11:14 AM EDT

• Tooling Strategy document sections and assignments - how are we going to tackle this work? Need some specific assignments. Which ones can be done individually and which as a group.
• Andy notes the coordination belongs with governance (under "additional elements")
• Requirements Configuration and Release Management document from Wilfred needs to be updated. No representation here yet of tools to support product lines. TSC is considering definition so we can use that once it's approved. Level of focus and skillset needs to be appropriate. Liaisons are intended to be outreach to the various work groups; not necessarily "tooling coordinators". John wants sufficient understanding of budget implications of implementation of strategy. Tooling coordinators would keep documentation up to date, having budget implications. Trifolia being maintained by external parties. What is the control outside of tooling management group?
• Jane will tackle requirements configuration and release mgmt document for tooling governance and management and methodology to classify sections for next week's feedback.
• Details around the tools - need a toolsmith to distinguish tools for individual tasks versus integrated toolsets with ripple effects of changes. Management processes must be able to identify tools' fit into continuum of use. Must have understanding of effects of breaking of tight coupling between Rosetree and RMIM designer.
• Candidate metrics need to be a group effort. They will need wide consideration and be formally voted upon. ACTION ITEM: Andy will make a draft.
• Jane can mine from trial processes of RFPs as well as req/config/release mgmt.
• Lynn will update the assignments on the wiki and collect assignments for collation.
• Jane notes methodology changes that impact tooling need risk / control point acknowledgement, and acceptance testing of tools "thrown over the wall" to become part of HL7 tooling suite.
• Woody notes we need to point to the MIF-lite in GForge for them to start.
• Jane notes a need to distinguish product line/ platform and tooling stack. Need also to define skillsets. Don't want to specify the skills and technologies but to illustrate that we need to know what skills and technologies are needed.
• Revisit time of this call if we move the tooling call.

Adjourned 11:45 AM EDT.
