Review Task List from Last Meeting

• Wiki pages were created for the Functional Team, Technical Team, Codebase thread, and Discussion about Mercurial thread.
• Separate SFN Mailing lists (functional and technical) were created.
• Templates for teams were discussed, including the functional template, OpenBravo's template, and Carlos Ruiz' functional specification.
• Mark Ostermann will revisit the functional template to include contributors/maintainers, test cases, and QA. The modified template will be discussed and elaborated in the next functional/technical team meeting.

Repository (Mercurial)

• Tobi worked with Mercurial and found it technically possible and recommendable to switch off SVN and start working with Mercurial.
• Tobi will create a document explaining how to switch to Mercurial in Eclipse. Other members of technical/functional teams will review it.
• No specific timeline for switching to Mercurial was set. The decision will be made as the project moves forward with the release and codebase.

Codebase

• Codebase and Mercurial will be implemented in separate steps to minimize risks.
• Trunk will continue to be the official codebase for the ADempiere project.
• OSGI is considered the future, but due to open questions, it won't become the immediate codebase.
• OSGI will be released with ADempiere Suite Test.
• The technical team and community volunteers will continue working on OSGI.
• The release of the codebase will be discussed in the next meeting.

Next meeting: Thursday, December 23rd, 2010, at the same time (15:00 hours GMT).
