Minutes

Minutes/Conclusions Reached:

• Roll Call & Agenda Review - only review projects on which we have action
• Approval of previous minutes from 2012-03-15 Tooling Call - Andy moves and Lynn seconds approval. Unanimously approved.
• Review action items -
  • Andy will ask the question on whether PHI intends to keep current with updated releases of MIF to the RIMBAA list. (from 2012-03-15) - keep open
  • Jane will send a Doodle poll for virtual meeting to identify background on project engagement for Eclipse senior architect (From 2012-03-01) - mornings are preferable, Doodle poll has been sent to list, see http://www.doodle.com/q2bp5n6m99scypqr. Interest in meeting with the architect in Vancouver was explored.
• 2213: Jane followed up with EHR for a Tooling liaison (Corey's getting married). John Ritter will start looking for a representative and resources for the roles they are taking on and time estimates for roles they can't fill.
• 2212: Jane meeting with CIC later today. AMS stepping into facilitator role on MAX but need to identify rest of team.
• Jane asks about vocabulary requirements gathering 'falling off' the Vocab agenda. Andy felt that it had been assigned and was pending report. ACTION ITEM: Andy will follow up.
• Update on V3 Generator Tool [Lloyd] scheduled review based on last estimate... there won't be anything until after the May WGM.
  • PI# 802 Tooling Communication Plan and Execution
    • Lynn shows the Sandbox:Tooling Work Group wiki page for the draft home page. Woody asks about we need to classify the tools (products/documents) into sets based on their use. Some tools are only used by Lloyd and Woody. Jane agrees that we need to determine that as part of the communication plan. Woody notes that there is a set of tools used to maintain the RIM. Eclipse using Rational Software Architect, stuff to prepare for it, and transforms; a set of tools not well integrated. It should be documented for project managers so that they can maintain a variant RIM. He asks if that should be a separate project and how classified, with a very limited use. Jane feels they may fall into a category like Don's where they are tools for certain uses - Woody notes that now he uses the combined publishing tool. So that category may be those tools that are narrow-purpose intended for certain individuals to use, rather than narrow purpose but applicable to others. Jane notes that when data is bundled with the tool and used in that fashion that is our use, but if unbundled from our data would the tool be useful to a broader audience? Jane asks if Joshua has made progress on the FAQ and documentation pilot - he's about halfway through. Woody asks if he used any of the How-to page information from the wiki home page. Joshua notes that reference to this page should be included in the other formal documentation. Woody points to the project summary on the individual tools on GForge. Josh notes the first level of documentation is what the tools are, who needs them. He's still working on that. He finds the documents could be more unified, because he is referring back and forth to the Tooling FAQ, Ballot Glossary and guide as they're very interdependent. Making small changes such as defining a term the first time you use it would help. Woody notes that hyperlinking the glossary would be an order of magnitude effort. Andy suggests we could take the glossary and turn into a wiki page. Jane notes that there is other glossary material on the wiki that needs to be coordinated with.
  • PI# 742 Model Automated Exchange (MAX) for UML Models - see update on action item 2212.
• Adjourned 10:47 AM EDT.
