2011-07-18 Conference Call

Meeting Minutes for July 18, 2011

  1. Anthony Whyte: release on off-cycle. OSP has dependencies on some other projects that would have to be reworked so that they are on independent release. By the end of this week, it will be possible to do an independent release between 2.8.1 and 2.8.2. We would have to provide info on how to get the new code. We would still be part of the usual Sakai build. There will be an OSP assembly that will make OSP downloadable separately. The maintenance team steers clear of OSP because of lack of familiarity. Maybe we should be allowing other developers to cross over and help out. Maybe there should be a single CLE team, not a maintenance team. Then maintenance would be everyone's responsibility. The trick is to figure out a way to negotiate these changes without being disruptive. But will other developers want to get involved with OSP? Noah: there are roving hired guns (Steve, David, Sam) who have been around Sakai long enough to know how to deal with any line of source code. There will be a natural emergence of people who are responsible -- you touched it last, you know it best. But it will still be good to lower the boundaries between areas.There is a lot of conversation that goes on that doesn't make it into sakai-dev. It would enrich things if it did. Is there anything that the Sakai Foundation do to help recruit developers to OSP? Spreading word of the need.
