Riku: In general, components are available unless removed as a result of TPIP filtering. Source code still available for components which are not used by S60 but these won't be maintained by Nokia.

RC230409_6CLOSED Victor to initiate the following offline actions
  • Milestone definitions - take to forums
  • Quality Metrics – set up working group
Victor Milestone defns - closed pending action RC230409_3: MSk will produce milestone defs material for review. Quality metrics - working group now set up. closed Requested
RC200509_1CLOSED Update the status and issues of providing list of components (content of builds) at next RC meeting. This is an issue that should be shared with the community. Jim 23/06 some complexities in combining S60 and SymbianOS system models given restructure of codebase. List is now 80% correct – not yet complete or verified so shared with council members today but not ready for wiki. You can see which files belong to each package from S^1.
RC200509_2CLOSED Riku to send list of TB9.1 post-branch content and defect fixes Riku 23/06 some TB9.1 changes were planned for post-branch from S^2 but actually included pre-branch, so no planned post-branch changes (of course this may change). Need discussion on process for injecting post branch changes as likely to happen in some release.

VP asked when will we start to see posting of defects through bugzilla? RM believes Nokia have started to publish showstoppers. Burden on package owner reduced as they are able to link to bug description in Mercurial. LLG asked what process was used to take in new content. VP explained that package owners need to guide it, we measure code churn + use bugzilla to track features. SF have started working through examples with package owners.

RC200509_4CLOSED Jim to explain impact of OPENGL issue on emulator and HW and what we expect OEMs to do Jim 23/06 JC - issue solved as 2.0b release of S^2 included workaround for Graphics issues which is explained in the release notes, and documented in bug31; Have ported an OpenGL open source graphics implementation to allow emulator to work. NVidia should not be an issue for emulator post S^2. But NVidia is a key issue for delivery planning in S^3.
RC230409_1CLOSEDVictor to email requesting approval of council Change Requests. Victor click here to see vote thread.

Approval of Charter was via email. Victor to update forum wiki to indicate approval of Charter. Victor to check & update mailing list (some members missing). victor: Done - deleted the thread

RC230409_3CLOSED Jim/Victor clarify the difference between VT4 and functionally complete. Jim/Victor 23/06: VP can make VT4 criteria received from Riku available to use as start point for group exercise to define Functionally Complete (FC).

MSk added that quality also needs to be considered. LLG Does the quality group produce def of FC? VP clarified that the RC should lead discussion through forums and need quality group to advise on what is measurable. VP encouraged all RC members to post comments and engage actively on discussion board.

20/08/09: FC criteria proposal circulated and Release Model updated.

RC230609_1CLOSED Add agenda item for next teleconference: Process for including post-branch changes to release. (from discussion of RC200509_2) 27 Aug 09 Mark This will be deferred to f2f RC end of August

20/08/09: The scenario now relates to post-FC changes and is not tied to post TB branch changes. The release model describes expected changes during the lifecycle, e.g. post-FC only bug fixes should be picked up. After the Stabilised milestone only critical fixes will be picked up.||

RC230609_4CLOSED Get S^2 feature list from F&RC (IanH) and publish to RC 05 Aug 09 Victor Ian is working on a 10 pager document for S^2. 1st draft to be available in August.

RC050809_7CLOSEDre-phrase the FC S^3 "must have" content criteria in the context of "Value of the release" 14 Aug o9 VictorP done - see proposal here
RC230609_2CLOSED Report on process for taking in new content at next council. (from discussion of RC200509_2) 05 Aug 09 Victor http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Integration_Plan
RC270809_2CLOSED Jim/Mark to recommend that S^2 is official release and that RC will take the responsibility for approving subsequent Official Releases on behalf of the BoD. [Pending condition of the API definition and its linkage to Symbian - Official Release is linked to Trademark policy which requires existence of a compatibility test suite. Official Release status confirms that IPR is distributable.] 24 Sep 09 Jim & Mark Discussions started in SF to action steps needed.

Action RC050809_2 is part of this.

Update 110909: BoD had already declared S^2 an official release around the June timeframe. This was based on the candidate S^2 feature spec. For future releases declaration of "official" is not strongly dependent on FC being declared but does require the feature spec to be available so that the basis for the declaration is established. Clearly this means that this would occur around the FC for a release.

The recommendation to move the responsibility of reviewing and declaring the official release status to the RC will be put to the BoD prior to S^3 FC.

The availability of the compatibility test suite is being pursued via RC050809_2.

Propose to close this action.

RC270809_3CLOSED All members to review and provide comments on the detailed Graphics integration plan by 11th September to Victor 11 Sep 09 All RC Members Plan can be found in the release plan material embedded in the minutes of the 27 Aug f2f RC in Helsinki. Feedback received from Philippe Peruset (STE). No objections raised from any members. Laurent raised concern about testing on real HW. This will be raised as part of the Test WG
RC270809_4CLOSED Mark to talk to Ian Hutton about obtaining feature spec for S^3 (along same lines as for S^2) 24 Sep 09 Mark The feature spec is generated around the time the release achieves FC and describes the total feature set, including the Key Features. One of the criteria for the FC is to ensure that the release has delivered the agreed Key Features which are initially defined at Release Start and may be modified after with agreement by the RC.

Update 110909: Confirmed with Ian.

Discussion raised on Laurent (TI) proposal to review/approve detailed feature list at RS and then track deltas. This will be raised as a new action for Laurent to lead a forum discussion/workshop.

RC270809_5CLOSED Update Key Features list in line with the comments in the 27 Sep f2f minutes "Key Features required for S^3" section 24 Sep 09 Victor This needs to include any breaks that should be tracked as well as listing what features of any phased rollout will be delivered, e.g. SHAI and SMP. The RC also needs to be told where to look for any other features it may want to include, such as TD roadmaps and Package Backlogs
RC270809_6CLOSED S^3 FC criteria discussion. Discussion around ‘agreed feature list’. Noted the following: - This should say "key feature list". KFs could change and should be under under change control by RC - We need to add the word ‘delivered’ to this statement - Remove ‘ratified by the FRC’ Update with the above clarifications. 24 Sep 09 Anders & Mark 220909: Updated wording provided to RC members for comment
RC270809_7CLOSED Zoom2 plan. Riku noted that some of the TI code was below SHAI, some above. Pierre-Henri added that if TI wanted to protect features linked to hardware, perhaps the boundary should be at SHAI. Riku added that with the current licencing model, if there are good ideas which could be used for SHAI then they can’t be made available. Laurent to explore these suggestions and provide a response 24 Sep 09 Laurent HRP sw contribution is not related to SHAI but to HRP provider IP diffentiators (HW+SW). In the same way nokia will not contribute all their above shai layer sw (their IP/differentiators), so hrp sw cannot be partitioned with shai.

This is a decision that TI needs to make in conjunction with the AC.

RC270809_8CLOSED Laurent to come back with an update to the Zoom2 plan within two weeks as stated in the TI chartpack 11 Sep 09 Laurent Updated plan presented by Fred Blesser at RC conf call 240909. Plan progress will be tracked separately
RC270809_9CLOSED Matsuura-san asked which specific issue prevented SBS v1 (TPIP) from being included in the SDK. URMI to respond to this request 24 Sep 09 Urmi Nokia are contributing SBSv2 (raptor) and this is what they plan to suport and make available under EPL.

SBSv1 is available under SFL, and so members are able to use it in S^2, and once the EULA has been agreed, it would be possible to make this available in the non-member PDK as well. However there are no plans to support it, or make it available under EPL.

RC270809_10CLOSED All council members to give feedback over the next 2 weeks on the content and schedule of the SDK/PDK plan 11 Sep 09 All RC Members Confirmed that there were no objections
RC270809_11CLOSED Release model: Anders raised that some discretion may be needed in approving milestones, e.g. we could agree to passing FC knowing that a small feature still to be delivered – so it becomes an exception. 24 Sep 09 Mark This shouldn't be part of the criteria as exceptions can always be the case. However, the notes could be used to describe this possibility.

Note added to release model to describe this

RC050809_2CLOSEDCheck with Daniel Rubio what is the level of compatibility of S^2 with Symbian^1 9 Oct 09 Victor Talked to Daniel. The AC has to define yet what is considered as public APIs. Once this is done, they will identify the public APIs in the SDK for S^1, and S^2 should run a compatibility assessment against it. The agreement is that S^2 and S^1 need to be compatible.

Public API definition being pursued by DM team and compatibility suite will be derived from existing S^1 suite. This will be enhanced to provide S^2 compatibility suite.

Update 301009: Public API list made available on wiki. See http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Symbian%5E2_Public_API_List

AC has approved this list subject to clarification on supporting documentation. Also more information is being sought on the whitelist to identify why these breaks were approved.

The compatibility test suite is being created by SF Delivery Management.

RC050809_4CLOSED Nokia to provide feedback on the likelihood of the key features being delivered in S^3 22 Oct 09 Riku & Jussi This will be on-going but S^3 KF list needs to be verified to ensure features are committed

Agreed to get closure 1 week before Oct f2f. Important to have good story on SHAI, SMP and NFC.

Update 301009: Conflicting information over NFC availability in time for S^3. Jussi to confirm. This is being tracked by new action RC301009_6

RC270809_1CLOSED Riku will update RC on the status of the plan for package owners to move to package based releasing and testing 29 Oct 09 Riku Riku was hoping to have a plan for the 24thSep conf call. New view is to have plan for the Oct f2f.

Update 301009: Agreed to cover the testing part of this under the Test WG. As far as the package-based releaseing goes, processes and tools are expected to be in place by year end 2009. This describes how packages are released to Mercurial but not how we build PDKs (this will be covered by the foundation)

RC270809_12CLOSED All council members to read Jim’s Packaging Tools proposal and nominate suggested members of the WG 24 Sep 09 All RC Members Request for participants posted here http://developer.symbian.org/forum/showthread.php?t=3011

RC240909_1CLOSED Laurent (TI) to provide proposal for feature review and set up forum discussion 9 Oct 09 Laurent This is to gather community opinions on the issue of ‘what is tracked’ in the feature list by the Release Council.

Update 301009: Laurent provided prooposal which was discussed at the RC tactical workshop on 29 Oct and will be progressed through actions from that.

RC240909_3CLOSED Provide high level plan for S^4 for review at Oct f2f 22 Oct 09 Urmi Make available 1 week before the f2f

Update 301009: Done and reviewed at 30 Oct RC f2f.

RC240909_4CLOSED Start a forum to discuss showstopper defects 2 Oct 09 Matsuura-san Main focus of this will be S^2 but definitions should apply generically to other releases. Forum started by Matsuura san.

Update 301009: Not many comments so far but initial list of showstoppers provided by Nokia. Forum will remain open for discussion.

RC240909_5CLOSED Members to put forward ideas for workshops to be held as part of the Oct f2f 9 Oct 09 All members Some suggestions: Generating, reviewing & managing the detailed feature set for a release; WG sessions (this may require other attendees from member companies depending on who has been nominated to sit on WGs); etc....

Update 301009: Workshops held 29 Oct.

RC240909_6CLOSED Provide a list of 'showstopper' defects for S^2 in Bugzilla 23 Oct 09 Riku This was originally agreed by Nokia but is still outstanding hence the creation of this action to track. A plan is needed for this.

Update 301009: Jussi confirmed that a list of showstoppers has been provided in Bugzilla.
