    1. as you can see in the agenda we are very close to wrapping this up (balunasj_mtg, 15:02:55)
    2. lfryc has done a great job, and we only have a few open items left (balunasj_mtg, 15:03:17)

    6. I have also prepared Guide how to use pull request with RF JIRA (which has newly enabled Git workflow to support this model) (lfryc, 15:10:55)
    7. ACTION: balunasj_mtg review the pull request and rF jira workflow document (balunasj_mtg, 15:11:23)
    8. Guide can be found here and applies also to other projects: http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-16877 (lfryc, 15:11:32)
    9. first point what we need to refine is modifying the existing branches structure to meet the workflow (lfryc, 15:12:11)
    10. AGREED: We can get rid of the branches that are not part of the current workflow (balunasj_mtg, 15:13:27)
    11. ACTION: lfryc will fire issue for removing all the unnecessary branches and tags (it means all except master and 4.0.0.Final) (lfryc, 15:16:04)
    12. stale branches can be removed as long as it will not remove the tags (lfryc, 15:22:45)
    13. also there should be left only last of release tags (lfryc, 15:24:00)
    14. ACTION: lfryc rename the tags to follow timestamp pattern (lfryc, 15:25:11)
    15. ACTION: rename the master branch to develop (lfryc, 15:28:34)
    16. ACTION: create new master branch pointing to 4.0.0.Final (lfryc, 15:28:58)
    17. ACTION: lfryc: setup GitHub to have develop as default (lfryc, 15:29:39)
    18. other topic is RFPL JIRAs and pull request workflow (lfryc, 15:30:02)

  3. RFPL jira's and pull requests (balunasj_mtg, 15:34:11)
    1. RFPL contains issues which doesn't introduce commits (lfryc, 15:34:59)
    2. that's why they doesn't support pull requests (lfryc, 15:35:21)
    3. when developer works on RFPL JIRA which finally introduces commit and pull request, it have to be reflect in RF JIRA (lfryc, 15:35:52)
    4. either by creating and linking new RF JIRA or simply moving the JIRA into RF space (lfryc, 15:36:12)

  4. Sharing feature branches (lfryc, 15:38:57)
    1. AGREED: If RFPL jira results in source code updates to core project is should be moved to RF (balunasj_mtg, 15:38:58)
    2. feature branch may not be needed to be shared in project repositories (lfryc, 15:39:33)
    3. two developers can share code in personal repositories (lfryc, 15:39:54)
    4. it satisfies that no one will start work on feature branches (lfryc, 15:40:06)
    5. but seems to be very restricting rule (lfryc, 15:40:19)
    6. For large tasks sharing a feature branch in the project repo is ok, (balunasj_mtg, 15:41:41)
    7. The same rules apply - when the jira is resolved and branch merged the feature branch can be removed (balunasj_mtg, 15:42:06)
    8. AGREED: with removing branches (lfryc, 15:42:56)
    9. We will likely need to go through and "clean up" from time to time anyway - and the rule will be that features branches for resolved jira's can be removed (balunasj_mtg, 15:43:10)

  5. Release criteria (lfryc, 15:51:46)
    1. ACTION: lfryc post a dev forum post about previous topic to continue (balunasj_mtg, 15:52:18)
    2. the part of release testing criteria is that release should not start before the branch is stabilized (lfryc, 15:53:01)
    3. the new workflow is just following it (lfryc, 15:53:12)
    4. the difference from the past is based that functional tests wasn't ran just prior to each release (lfryc, 15:53:49)
    5. ACTION: ppitonak please create jira's to cover stabilizing smoke test ftest suite before M1 (balunasj_mtg, 16:00:34)
    6. ACTION: ppitonak document release criteria for 4.1 releases (balunasj_mtg, 16:05:49)

  6. 4.1 planning (balunasj_mtg, 16:07:36)
    1. we are already over time for the meeting (balunasj_mtg, 16:07:48)
    2. IDEA: Have a separate meeting just for 4.1 finalization and discussing (balunasj_mtg, 16:08:05)
    3. AGREED: yes, it would be good at this situation (lfryc, 16:08:24)
    4. because of timing it would be post JSFSummit (balunasj_mtg, 16:08:27)
    5. before then I'll email specific tasks and things that should be ready before then so we can hit that meeting ready to nail down specifics (balunasj_mtg, 16:08:58)
    6. ACTION: email specific tasks and things that should be ready before then so we can hit the meeting ready to nail down specifics (balunasj_mtg, 16:09:26)
