[Cosmo-dev] Cosmo Meeting Tomorrow: Thursday Aug 23, 2pm PST

[Ted Leung]

Hi all,

I'd like to have a 1 hour Cosmo meeting tomorrow at 2 pm.   The  
topics that I'd like to cover are listed below:

* Brian tells me that the Hibernate prototype is looking much more  
promising than we anticipated.   It is possible that we could get a  
merged version of Cosmo that runs on top of Hibernate if we extended  
the Cosmo 0.5 timeline.    If we keep the original plan, then there  
will be some amount of redundant work that Bobby will need to do in  
order to get the UI running on top of just the merged code base  
(Apparently Randy implemented some APIs that have not been  
implemented on the merged JCR version).     This is not a no brainer  
decision, and we will not make a final decision on this until  
Priscilla returns from her vacation, but I wanted us to have the  
chance to understand all the issues and as many of the impacts on  
dependencies (testing, hosted service, Chandler desktop alpha 4) as  
possible.   Brian please correct me if I have garbled anything here.

* Do we need to think about issuing server oriented releases of  
Cosmo.  Right now we appear to be on a path where releases of Cosmo  
will be dictated by groups of UI features.  However, the hosted  
service will need to obtain features on a different schedule than the  
UI feature schedule.   One possible way of addressing this is to have  
server oriented milestone releases of Cosmo in addition to UI feature  
releases.    We should also investigate other methods of addressing  
these concerns.

* I'd like to have a sanity check on dates associcated with Cosmo  
0.5.   Today we had a minor surprise <http://wiki.osafoundation.org/ 
script/getIrcTranscript.cgi? 
channel=cosmo&date=20060823&startTime=1320&endTime=1342> regarding  
availability of merged builds.   Possible inclusion of the Hibernate  
merge notwithstanding, it seems like we might have some confusion  
over estimated dates for 0.5

If there are other topics on people's minds, please repond to this  
message.   Also, if you don't want to wait for the meeting, please  
reply, too.
