Subject: [facilitation-discuss] request: Prepare your os.org content for
	migration to XWiki
Message-ID: <4A82FDC1.9060205@sun.com>

Hi all,

In six short weeks (Sept. 14th) all content on opensolaris.org will be 
migrated to XWiki. To prepare your web pages for this migration, please 
check the first test migration here:

http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Main/

If you find any problems, please refer to the tips and tricks for 
preparing your source here:

http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/web/restructuring/content_preparations/ 


Note: ALL content preparation work must take place on opensolaris.org.

We'll do several test migrations between now and Sept. 14th and I'll 
send out a reminder mail each week after hub has been updated from the 
snapshot on stage.opensolaris.org.

Send questions to website-discuss at opensolaris.org. File bugs in 
http://defect.opensolaris.org under Development | Website with 
'site-xwiki' as the component.

We'll also host a public meeting this Thursday at 9am PT, using the 
following conference call numbers:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/web/files/con-call-numbers.pdf

Thanks in advance for your help to make this migration a success!

Regards,
Michelle Olson
OpenSolaris.org Content PM

Nit: Core contributors and Facilitators apply to communities, not projects,
so that wouldn't apply.

Communities are more of a collection of people with similar interests. A
project is a collection of activities with a beginning and an end which is
what I think best describes what we are discussing here. The "use-case
project" would then feed into many communities (desktop, security, sys
admin, etc).

That's a good definition of the two Che. The proposal and the future 
working of it's implementation seems worded more towards a 'community', 
with a set of 'projects' i.e. sysadmin-usecase, desktop-usecase, etc., 
as I understand it, which is why I asked.

Thanks for the great response. It looks like there is a need for this project :)

I added the Systems Administration area.

Just a few more details before we begin the project ratification process:

- need someone to volunteer to be project point of contact

- I would like one more Community to sponsor this project since
   it crosses Community Boundaries. If you think the project
   proposal can be ratified in your Community let me know.
   The Documentation and Testing Communities already plan to
   sponsor this project.

BTW. Since the website transition is in progress this project may start
by sharing a sponsoring Community's webpages and/or genunix.org. The
usecase-discuss email list will be available immediately after the
project is ratified.

Cheers,
Jim

o Project: OpenSolaris Use Case Project

o Short Description:

The OpenSolaris Use Case Project collects, develops and validates OpenSolaris
operating system and application Use Cases and provides real world feedback to
development, documentation, testing and other OpenSolaris groups to help ensure
users get what they need from OpenSolaris distributions and applications.

o Project Description:

The primary focus of the OpenSolaris Use Case Project is to evaluate and
organize real world OpenSolaris user experiences into Use Cases, case studies
and best practices for the benefit of other OpenSolaris users, and to provide
feedback to OpenSolaris developers, technical writers, testers and others so
they may produce better quality products and education materials that more
effectively meet user requirements. This project is run by users for users.

Project roles and activities are diverse and include users bringing specific
issues into the discussion, end users and consultants bringing expertise and
focus to areas they are most interested in, Use Case organization and
development experts, and project leaders who organize the overall project
and review processes.

Development, documentation, test teams and others can provide this project
materials they want user feedback on prior to release to help ensure the user
is getting what they need to be successful.

Example areas of interest can include:

* Core OpenSolaris Technologies

zfs, smf, security, and DTrace and common OpenSolaris commands and utilities

* OpenSolaris Installation and Packaging

pkg, beadm commands, pkgmgr GUI, Automated Installer and Distro Constructor

* OpenSolaris Systems Administration

Standard and unique Systems Administration approaches and best practices

* OpenSolaris Desktop

OpenSolaris desktop, layout and appearance and standard desktop applications

* Virtualization

zones, crossbow, ldoms, xVM, VirtualBox, etc...

* OpenSolaris Distributions

distribution centric use cases for BeleniX, MilaX, Nexenta, SchilliX etc...

* OpenSolaris Applications

OpenOffice, contrib repo applications, Oracle, etc...

* Development Tools

SunStudio, netbeans, hg, svn, etc...

* Hardware Configurations

Various hardware types and storage configurations, etc...

* Combination Solutions

Unique End User solutions using multiple technologies

* Use Case Development

This area focuses on Use Case development itself, including how Use Cases
are written, Use Case tools and the review process. Both formal and informal Use
Case methods will be used.

Technically, that is the "Systems Administration Community Group".

Since you have taken the initiative to propose it, I nominate you.  If
there is a reason that you do not want this role, feel free to
decline.

I think it is appropriate for the Systems Administration Community
Group (hereafter "sysadmin community") to sponsor it as well.  Peter
Tribble (a core contributor in the sysadmin community) forwarded the
proposal to sysadmin-discuss, suggesting he would support endorsement.
 I am also a core contributor in the sysadmin community and am
supportive.

I am happy to be the "point of contact" for this project.

I think genunix wiki would be a great starting point for our community to
begin a web page whilst the content transition is taking place. If no one
objects to this within the next 24 hours I will go ahead and generate a page
there.

I have forwarded this request the the desktop discuss mailing list to see if
we can get sponsorship from the Desktop Community members (I am am member of
that community). I will follow that request and report back.

I have created a Wiki here with a sample template which we can begin with
and modify to suit our needs. Once we get the project set up and the
opensolaris.org content transition is complete I will migrate the content
over.

http://wiki.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/opensolaris_use_cases

Others, please input your ideas onto this page, your contributions are more
than welcome!

I use the term "area" to indicate something bigger than Community
Groups. These categories are used to help organize the Use Cases
nothing more. The Systems Administration Community may focus on
the Systems Administration area, but that doesn't mean that others
can help too. I recommend not directly associating areas with
Community Groups, so people don't think you have to be a member of
the Community Group to contribute.

Thanks for the support, but I decline. But, I will help out when I can.

Sounds good.

Once the project is established I expect there to be
more members. This is just to get things started.
But, I'll use the term "Project Members".

Great.

Here's where the final proposal lives.
