Review Near Term WG Deliverables:  Remainder of actions request to the WG members.

-         Sponsor candidate to the position open in the project.

-         It was made clear that the Project and Product Manager are full time jobs.

Presentation by Rudolf on requirements:
Request for clarifications on requirement model from last meetings were received. Rudolf presented the model used by IVI which is fairly traditional.

-         Define a roadmap

-         Deduce requirements

o   A few simple sentences per requirements.  Example:  Need to have screen come up within 3 seconds of bootup.

-         Publish the road map on the Wiki

-         Enter the requirement in the bug/feature tracking on MeeGo (Bugzilla)

Getting the requirement accepted does not guarantee that the implementation will follow as that later depends of the resource allocated to the task by the member of the WG and the community and project contributors.

As MeeGo is on a 6 months release cycle, this mode of operation must be kept in mind when establishing the roadmap.

Questions:
Narm: How conflict between the desire of the WG to prioritize feature and the priority set by the team implementing the code?
Rudolf: Yes, it can be conflicting but as the WG members are also the main contributors, they have to find compromises.
Van Dao Nguyen: What happens to features which are delayed ?
Rudolf: If no extra resources  (new or swap) can be found, they are pushed to the next release.
Narm: Who define the roadmap ?
Rudolf: The project Manager as he get the global vision of the desired requirements and the actual available resources.
Jim: The model decided 2 weeks ago was to discuss requirement on the mailing list first and then to publish on the wiki. Is that a good model.
Rudolf: Yes it can work.

Project Office, Role and Position Clarification:

-         Rudolf restated the different key role which are open.

-         The definition of these roles can be found here:  http://wiki.meego.com/Working_Group_Process
