Agenda for the kick off meeting

• Introductions
• MeeGo 1.1 release: target format/s and site/s
  • developer.meego.com - release planned to be done at the same time as the SDK release. Ronan can give an account and password for anyone who needs it. 
  • Adding content directly into Drupal  - possible  4.10.2010 (AP Ronan: confirm the date)
  • Decision: start producing content in wiki, checkpoint later to see which content to move to Drupal (exception: API doc as HTML and QCH file)
  • Ronan can create initial content structure for the release, today
• Agreeing on ways of working
  • Meetings, communication channels - #meego-sdk @ freenode
  • Backlog (storing requirements and following task progress) - use wiki for now, move to Bugzilla for 1.2
  • Sharing work-in-progress drafts - let's use apidocs.meego.com for API documentation. Access from Mike Shaver
• First rough draft of a content plan
  • Discussion
  • Dividing content into areas and assigning owners for the areas - done, see below
  • Possibly roadmapping some content areas for later releases?
• Agreeing on an approval process (testing, reviews)
  • When should the content be ready for reviews and for testing? - two weeks before the release
  • Test procedural information (step-list instructions) - agree in next meeting
  • Suggestions for reviewers? - agree in next meeting
  • Who gives final approval? - agree in next meeting
• Release updates after the official release day
  • How to manage updates to content? Sprints? - agree in next meeting

Content areas

• Terminology/glossary (Titta)
• Release overview, description of the developer offering (Ronan)
• Overview of MeeGo websites and their purpose (Ronan)
• Setup/Getting started instructions for application developers (from installation to first app, divide into smaller areas in meeting)   (Bob, Veli)
• Setup/Getting started instructions for platform developers (community-driven area)
• Other tool instructions (e.g. linking to information on Qt tools, MADDE, MAD-Developer, Packaging tools, OBS use, appstore submission tools, performance tools) (Elliot)
• Architecture overview  (Titta)
  • Sunil / Arjan and Sakari updating.  Representation changing.
• API reference and API overview : Qt 4.7, Qt mobility 1.0, Meego Touch (MTF), WRT (Murali Punaganti)
  • Need to follow-up on platform API.  How will it be presented.
• UI guidelines
  • Elliot: I verified with the design team in the UK that the design guidelines for handset are current and valid; they were written by Nokia and are the basis of the reference handset UX design. No similar guidelines for netbook are planned.
  • Elliot: whether we want to move this content to developer.meego.com is an open issue
• Samples (existing hello world level examples for Qt, Qt mobility, MeeGo Touch, and WRT)  (Elliot and Kerry Jiang (PRC SDK mgr))
• Packaging and publishing (covered in other tool instr.)
• Release notes (Veli, Bob)
• Productization (covers all areas to some extent, but should this be a separate item?) (Titta, Ville)

• What do we do with the current documentation in wiki.meego.com ?
