[bind10-dev] BIND 10 face to face meeting Y2-2 agenda, version 2

[Shane Kerr]

All,

I updated the agenda a bit.

      * The meal plan is listed.
      * Likun's forgotten request from long ago was added (problem
        analysis of BIND 9 logging).
      * Jinmei's suggestions were added as best I could (I think
        everything except documentation is on the agenda, and we have
        free time so...).
      * Oracle is going to set up a web presentation of BDB which is now
        on the agenda.

-------------- next part --------------
For the second face-to-face meeting of BIND 10's 2nd year, we're going
to meet at ISC's head office.

Meeting Goals
-------------
Some goals for the meeting:

  * Get the team together - both old and new members - to work face to
    face for a change.
  * Check our progress versus our milestones - both big and small, and
    correct if necessary.
  * Recursion. We need to make some architecture & design decisions 
  * Recursion. We need to delve into more detail about implementation.
  * Recursion. ;)


Meeting Logistics
-----------------
Same as usual: A room with whiteboards, projectors, and laptops. We'll
take minutes into the BIND 10 Wiki. Also as usual, I'll act as Master
of Ceremonies.

Meeting start time will be 09:30 each day, and we'll aim to end around
17:00.


Meeting Stucture
----------------
We've had some success with using part of our time for software
development in the past. I'd like to try to do this during this
meeting, although we may find we don't have much time for this.

As always, we'll try to be flexible and make sure we get the best use
out of our time as possible.


Folks
-----
We have some people not attending all days, or not attending in person:

  * Shawn will be joining us Thursday & Friday (2010-09-02 and
    2010-09-03)
  * Larissa will be arriving late Wednesday, and in-and-out Thursday
  * Jeremy will be participating remotely.
  * JPRS has a new engineer joining BIND 10 development who will be
    participating remotely.

Unlike previous meetings, we may have a lot of visitors: 

  * Jerry Scharf, who is working on defining a great user interface
    for BIND 10, will be joining us.
  * Norm Ritchie, who works for ISC but doesn't normally join the
    techy side of things, will be in the ISC office. Hopefully he will
    have some time to sit with us.
  * Someone from Mozilla will be joining us to talk about DNS in
    Mozilla and who we can talk to about BIND 10 and DNS in general.
    This will be Tuesday around 11:00 through lunch.
  * We might have someone from the BDB team at Oracle stop by to
    discuss databases with us.
  * Ron Aitchison, who is working on writing a book now, will
    hopefully be with us for part or all of the week.
  * Ron may bring an engineer from Bluecat to join us for some time.


Meals
-----
Some people attending are local, and do not have to eat with us all
week. For those who are visiting, at least some of us will be eating
as a group for each lunch and dinner this week. All are welcome!

We will be having lunch brought in Monday to Wednesday. Thursday and
Friday we will go out for lunch.

Monday we will have a "welcome dinner" that everyone should attend if
possible.

Wednesday we will have the Big Official BIND 10 Dinner, which will
also include some ISC staff.

People interested can join Jinmei on Thursday for sushi - but he needs
to know ASAP!

I'm planning on going into San Francisco Friday after the meeting is
over for a nice dinner and perhaps some liquid refreshment. Anyone
still around is welcome to join.

      Likun asked for a discussion of the BIND 9 log features. On the
