Meeting 2 Minutes (14/Oct/02)

Attendees:

Summary:

1. Process Finalization (RUP) - We decided we'll go with RUP, because doing XP with non-local people was considered too risky.
   
   
2. Roles - Role picking was a bit too chaotic, so we decided to hold the free-for-all over the Wiki. Generally, however, most will be System Analysts, because of the number of documents that need to be completed by the end of Inception. It was also decided that Sid will list on the Wiki the documents that need to be completed. Team members will choose one (or more) documents to write. Most of the documents simply have to be reformatted into the RUP standard templates.
       Sid will make the list available by Wednesday, Oct16. Members will have until Oct 23 (the following Wednesday) to complete the documents. This will allow time for reviewing the documents before the end of the phase.
       Ross will be a System Architect, and Sandra a System Architecture Reviewer.
   
   
3. Inception milestone date - Because roles will not be chosen for a couple more days, and because of the midterm, the end of Inception is set for Monday, Oct 28.
   
   
4. File Formats - Text document formats will be MS Word or HTML. An informal poll of the attendees indicated that this posed no problem. The diagram (image) formats will be GIF (preferred for diagrams), JPG or PNG; although the original format should be retained for future edits.
   
   
5. Sharing HW2 - Having access to the other members' HW2 documents will help with completing the documentation tasks. Therefore, on or before Wednesday, Sid will post instructions on the Wiki on where HW2 files will be stored. All HW2s should be placed at this location so they can be shared amongst the members.
   
   
6. Better IRC - Jianmei volunteered to find us a new IRC server for our next meeting.
