[Fiware-data] Minutes of the Data/Context Management chapter follow-up confcall

[Juanjo Hierro]

Hi all,

  Please find enclosed below the minutes of our last follow-up confcall.    The planning (very next steps +
work in October) was revised and refined during a joint WPL/WPA follow-up session we had this
Monday.   The attached presentation reflects the result of such session and it should be considered
as a more up-to-date reference of work to be done in the project.   Nevertheless, you will see that it
fully aligns with what we discussed last Friday.

  Best regards,

-- Juanjo


1. Development of the Backlog

1.1 Very next steps

We should have the first set of EPICs finished and registered by end of next week. Don't feel
pressured if you haven't identified User Stories yet.  Keep in mind that User Stories mean work
to be done (indeed, changes in the code of an asset) which can be addressed within the duration
of a sprint, i.e., one month.

The Wiki has been integrated in FusionForge so that now the FI-WARE project in FusionForge
has a Wiki which will be the public Wiki of the project.   This way, FusionForge provides
a single sign-on mechanism for all the tools (Wiki, tracker, docman, ...)

Now we are in the process of migrating contents of the temporary wiki at wiki.fi-ware.eu to
the Wiki in FusionForge.   At the same time, refining the ToC and covering some sections
in the Wiki which may help as a tutorial for using the tracker.   The plan is to have this
ready before mid next week.

Then, we are entitled to register the EPICs in the tracker.

Until the Wiki and tracker are available, we should make progress on the high-level design
of the solution for the integration of already identified assets (work that started in Turin)
as to obtain a set of EPICs as result of such high-level design.

People should try to develop the contents of new sections to be added to the FI-WARE Product
Vision at the Wiki dealing with description of assets.   Proposed structured:

 *   Brief description
 *   Reference (URLs) to available documentation about the product


1.2 Work during October: Transforming EPICs into features and user stories .

We introduced the concept of feature during our plenary last week.  Feature is just a kind of
EPIC we feel confident can be address within the duration of a release (duration of a
release is 3 months, i.e., 60 working days)

Don't confuse this term "release" with that used in the DoW.  "Releases" in the DoW should be
considered "major releases" which are splitted into "releases" (we may also use the term "minor
release" to avoid confussion)

We will devote the whole month of October to prioritize EPICs and refine those most critical
(highest priority) EPICs as to generate:

+ user stories (if we can)
+ at least features

We will also devote the last part of October to start planning the first release and, within that
release, the first sprint.  This means identifying the highest priority features and user stories.

Note that the first release will be scheduled to finish by End January (maybe mid February)


1.3 UC projects

Some UC projects have already started to produce requirements in the form of request for EPICs
to be added to the FI-WARE backlog.

They will start introducing their request on a dedicated tracker system in the FI-WARE project once
it is available (also mid next week)

Request from UC projects will be analyzed by chapter teams and will probably imply some interaction
and negotiation with UC projects.

This process should also require some time from us during October and may derive in incorporation
of features (I don't believe user stories) in our FI-WARE backlogs


1.4 Technical Support to UC projects

A tracker will be setup and available to UC projects since monday 26th.   Therefore, be prepare to
handle some requests (requests on multimedia analysis GE will arrive almost inmediately for sure
because of high-interest by Safecity project)


1.5 Pending discussions

IBM and TID to agree on planning for the discussion about integrating the CEP and BigData GEs
TI and TID to agree on planning for the discussion about integrating the CEP and BigData GEs
We should arrange a confcall to discuss on the Query Broker GE.   AP on Juanjo to setup a doodle.
Do we need to do something on Semantic infrastructure ?

1.6 AOB

There were no other business addressed
