S^4/S^5 : Proposed change to add new technology-specific multimedia packages
Created attachment 374 [details] Multimedia package split proposal This change proposal is to the package: Layer: OS Package name: Multimedia Owner: Petteri Kangaslampi This proposal is to split this package into following 5 packages, based on technology areas: - Multimedia (mm, for common multimedia components and frameworks) – current package - Multimedia Audio (mmaudio) - Multimedia Video (mmvideo) - Multimedia Camera (mmcamera) - Multimedia Imaging (mmimaging) All packages would belong in the OS layer and the Multimedia technology domain. The new package structure is expected to be taken into production use on Symbian^5 timeframes with the delivery of a new multimedia architecture with SHAI support. However initial FCL deliveries of this code will start in H2/2009, so the new packages should be created for development purposes earlier. This will enable early visibility of the code to the community while it is still in development. For information on the Next-Generation Multimedia Architecture (NGMA) project, see http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Multimedia_Package/NGMA_Introduction. A Contribution Proposal will be created shortly. For more details about the proposal see the attached presentation.

Added Packages_Operations Keyword
Added Lars.
AC Has resolved to proceed with this request, as noted in the minutes in http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/AC/2009-09-29_September_29_Teleconference
Changed into an admin request to do the web-site admin work. Jezar, do you know who will own these new packages? Is it you? Please let me know when the new landing page, etc. is needed.
And re-opened
The info is buried in the attached ppt: Multimedia: Jezar Wakefield <jezar.wakefield@nokia.com> Multimedia Audio: Kimmo Lapinkari <kimmo.lapinkari@nokia.com> Multimedia Video: James Nash <james.nash@nokia.com> Multimedia Camera: Tero Honkanen <tero.t.honkanen@nokia.com> Multimedia Imaging: Pranav Mishra <pranav.mishra@nokia.com>
Thanks! I missed the PPT Lars
After having talked to Jezar, the agreement on this one was for me to wait until Jezar lets me know all the code is ready.
Jezar, is there any progress on this one? I was asked by Kimmo when this will be happening? Lars
The latest I know is that Nokia plan to make the package structure change when they start making NGMA deliveries - so S^5 (they plan to make some FCL drops in S^4, so I'm not sure how they plan to manage this aspect). Jezar has been off ill for quite some time, so he won't be replying in the immediate future. However, if this causes you problems I can speak with other members of his team in London.
OK, that explains why Jezar has not been responding. Maybe there is a case for one of the package owners in waiting to share Jezar's load while he is ill.
Largely James Nash has been running point on this
Updated the title such that I won't fall over this every week. See comment #13
Let me just re-cap from an e-mail from Jeremy: Package: /sf/os/mmcamera Owner: tero.t.honkanen@nokia.com Package: sf/?/mmaudio Owner: kimmo.lapinkari@nokia.com Package: sf/?/mmimaging Owner: pranav.mishra@nokia.com Also see (I will handle these in the right place): Package: sf/adapt/openmaxil.adapt Owner: juan.rubio@nokia.com See bug 6682 Package: /sf/os/mmvideo Owner: james.nash@nokia.com See bug 6676 Package: sf/os/openmaxil Owner: juan.rubio@nokia.com See bug 6681
Hi Lars, Thanks for doing that. Mercurial (and the commit mailing list), Bugzilla and Opengrok have all been set-up for the below. Just waiting to be informed if mm will still be used for S^3 deliveries or whether we can make that repo read only. The new POs should also be aware of 1. the existing bugs raised against the old mm package which may need to be rassigned to the new packages: http://developer.symbian.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?product=mm 2. The new packages in bugzilla were set-up with just a default component unspecified Regards, Tahir
I have done the following for juan.rubio@nokia.com, james.nash@nokia.com, pranav.mishra@nokia.com, kimmo.lapinkari@nokia.com, tero.t.honkanen@nokia.com * All are now in the committer groups (if they have not been already) * I added all future package owners to the package owner mailing lists and mm techdomain list (if they have not been there already)
Tero, Kimmo, Pranav, I created the following landing pages 1) Package: mmcamera, tero.t.honkanen@nokia.com • You can edit by going to http://developer.symbian.org/symfadmin/packages/288/edit.html • And view by going to http://developer.symbian.org/main/source/packages/package/index.php?pk=288 2) Package: mmaudio, kimmo.lapinkari@nokia .com • You can edit by going to http://developer.symbian.org/symfadmin/packages/289/edit.html • And view by going to http://developer.symbian.org/main/source/packages/package/index.php?pk=289 3) Package: mmimaging, pranav.mishra@nokia.com • You can edit by going to http://developer.symbian.org/symfadmin/packages/290/edit.html • And view by going to http://developer.symbian.org/main/source/packages/package/index.php?pk=290 • I filled out with the info I had. • They key missing items are the Wiki & Roadmap links. • Note that the Roadmap link, should go to the backlog on the Wiki, which I have not filled out. Let me know if you need help creating these (see http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Managing_my_Wiki_Pages) • Instructions on how to change the landing pages are here: http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Managing_my_Landing_Page • Note that the page is not listed until you enable it (radio button at the top), which gives you a chance to review and fill everything out before it goes live Welcome as package owners. You should be set up now. * Can you please follow the steps in http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Taking_ownership_of_my_package * You should also bookmark: http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Package_Owners - it contains information and news related to package ownership ** In particular you may want to read documents in "Essential Reading" ** There is also a good slideset on building a community around your package: see http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Package_Owner_Workshops/LondonMay10 I usually announce changes to package ownership on the package owner mailing list at the end of the month. Let me know if you need any help. I am happy to set up an hour conference call, skype meeting, face-2-face, etc. to walk you through everything you need to know. Also Martin Webb (CC'ed on the bug is your technology manager). It may be a good idea to have an introductory chat with Martin. Best Regards Lars
Tahir, have the bugtracker instances for mmcamera & mmaudio & mmimaging been created? When I follow the bug links for the newly created landing pages, I get a "Sorry, either the product mmimaging does not exist or you aren't authorized to enter a bug into it. " error. It looks as if the respective queues have not been created. Cheers Lars
Oops my bad...I was a little too agressive with the access controls. Should all be fixed now. Regards, Tahir
Thank you. I will close this ticket then. If you discover any other issues, please re-open.
