Chandler Engineering Meeting, Thursday March 8th 2007

Present: Heikki, Sheila, Aparna, Philippe, Katie

Agenda

• 0.7alpha5 Progress : What happened this week. Progress, blocking issues.
• Preview Schedule: Engineering perspective, what's missing? what are the risks? how can we mitigate them?
• QA/Build: We had a plan some time ago to buy new machines (for Vista among other things). Where are we with that?
• 0.7.1 Tenets: Time to think about this. How do we handle those things we'll want to get immediately after Preview? Create a wiki page and agree on the tenets before changing stuff in Bugzilla? Who? When?
• Performance: sample data set. What are the next steps?

Notes

0.7alpha5 Progress

• Branched for autotriage should merge this week
• Edit/Update and Dump and Reload not testable
• Platform team is FC minus sharing (EIM) and Dump and Reload
• Katie to send the link to the Wiki page on Dump and Reload things to do
• How and when do we flip the switch from CloudXML to EIM? Need a Cosmo/Chandler meeting to explain how that'll be done
  • List of tasks and things to do related to this project
  • Test plan
  • Confirm with Morgen and BCM when we can have this meeting (Philippe)

Preview Schedule

• Performance may take more than 3 weeks
• When can Mitch start dogfooding? When can non-tech people can dogfood? Criteria is after FC and whenever we reach no blockers in the bugs list. We need to mark blockers correctly when triaging. We expect to reach that "dogfoodable" point a couple of weeks after FC.

QA/Build

• We'll talk about this in details at the next QA meeting
• OS Issues
  • Windows Vista
  • OS X 10.5

0.7.1 Tenets

• Sheila owning the tenet Wiki page
• Preliminary brainstorm
  • Interop with Apple (client and server)
  • Interop with Google
  • Printing
  • Free/Busy
  • Plugins and platform tenets
  • Contacts

Performance sample data set

• Should use the EIM Dump and Reload format (we need tasks, notes and emails as well)
• We can start with out own sanitized data, each of us would be responsible to do that cleaning and give that to Mikeal
• Aparna to post on user list calling for such data
