First Wp5 conf call

First Wp5 conf call

25 November 05, at 14h00 (Paris time)

Participants: Stefania, Marc, Michel, Paulo, Radu.

On the agenda:

• current state of the deliverable
• brainstorming on Customization
• organize the State of the Art
• what do we have to improve in the next phase
• short plan for the next week

Discussions on topics:

• State of the art and Bibliography
  • good updates
  • keep contact with BRR community (Paulo)
  • try to place EDOS related viewpoints into a larger view (like OSMM, for instance)
  • stick to the main topics required
• Complexity
  • new links on the Bibliography, added by Marc: LOCC, MetricsTheTool, Cyclo, etc.
  • already got in contact with Wp2 (Fabio)
  • see "degree of dependency" and "cluster analysis" from Wp2 work
  • use EDOSLib for the statistics and for defining metrics
• Customization
  • updates on wiki by Marc
  • apparently, the notion of "virtual packages" doesn't fit the topic
  • we identified two aspects for the customization:
    • before the install process (preparing a customized distribution ready to install)
    • during installation and after (the customization levels offered by the installer/distribution)
• Production + PMI
  • the testing processes (see Wp3 also) are part of the production processes
  • we have to define and organize the production processes
  • Michel proposed to aggregate the production processes into three viewpoints: (to be further detailed)
    • 1.Production
    • 2.Liveness (developers/community interactions)
    • 3.Community
  • the general PMI will be completely described outside the scope of the report
  • we'll define the PMI for the metrics to be plugged into the general PMI
  • metrics PMI can use the RDF Schema model for the indicators in order to give a formal description of the metrics framework
• Diffusion
  • we'll identify P2P measures from the Bibliography papers and the P2P proposed architecture
  • current indicators - to be reevaluated and polished
  • define mappings between the characteristics/indicators associated to the current architecture and to the P2P one

General decisions:

• use Jabber client for Instant Messaging
• increase the interactions with Wp2 and Wp4
• follow the project's description
