| * | Technical Goals & Objectives | | Background: - A while back the CC asked the PC/TC to review a set of high level goals and objectives.
- The TC determined that it was worthwhile to refine the list, leading to the formation of a working group
- Additional pain points were identified/provided by other groups, e.g. SysOps SIG, etc. and worked into this TC G&O draft:
Goals for today: - TC approval of this list
- If approval cannot be attained today, define concrete action items to get us there.
Notes: - Tod Olson Need clarity on purpose / how we would use the document. Combination of pain points, architectural wishes. Document reflects what we'd like to happen regardless of when. To revisit on a periodic basis, maybe quarterly check-in and annual re-prioritizing.
- Also discussed how the list is structured. Loathe to change.
- Enough information provided? Maybe not, but good enough to float to TC for a vote.
- Tod Olson Mention to the other councils, and sysops, of what we see as priorities. Caveat that it's a living document.
- Jenn Colt The specific timelines are the obstacle. Suggest removing them. Group agreed.
- Tod Olson What to do about the technical debt item in the top list?
- Marc Johnson Careful about listing items that need PC guidance, like "automation engine".
- Tod Olson Many items would include product people involvement.
- Jenn Colt Maybe focus on what aspects would need to be there from a technical standpoint.
- Marc Johnson These are long-term things. Discussed for a long time, little done. People may want them sooner, but manage expectations.
- Define lists as high/medium/low "priority" or "term"?
- Tod Olson prefers keeping as relative timeframes.
- Consensus to use this document as a way to drive conversations with the other councils (and other parts of the community).
- Jenn Colt There's value in focusing on the technical perspective, to provide what PC et al. need as they discuss / prioritize functionality.
- Tod Olson Prefer not to change scope now, but to let that come out of future review. As it's been over a year. Use some version of the doc in consultation with other groups, what it serves well and what not.
- Consensus to bring it to the TC now for vote. As long as no expectations yet on how/when we use it.
- And what is on the list will change. But we have to get something out there.
- Jenn Colt suggested possibly removing all the items from the list, and just having TC approve the process.
- Marc Johnson Agrees TC wouldn't necessarily know which items are real. But shouldn't hold up presenting to TC.
- Tod Olson Maccabee Levine agree publish now, but do discuss that with TC.
