Portfolio SIG at Codebash 4 2007-06-08

=Portfolio interoperability: strategy and policy=

One of the Portfolio SIG events

The meeting
Following on from many discussions earlier in the year, and back to the Portfolio SIG Meeting Chester 2006-12-05, we decided that a good next step in taking forward portfolio interoperability in the form of LEAP 2.0 and related ideas would be to have a strategy meeting in the context of CodeBash 4.

We wanted to see the ideas stimulated by the Codebash to be discussed with other stakeholders, to try to achieve a consensus on where we should be going next, so we arranged a meeting on the Friday morning,

Agenda for discussion included:
 * the current wider context of interoperability surrounding portfolio issues
 * current state of play with LEAP 2.0 (see the LEAP 2.0 pages)
 * requirements for portfolio interoperability (see the LEAP 2.0 requirements page which awaits input)
 * technologies to use or to support
 * approach to further work
 * concrete suggestions for next steps and tasks

The intention was to allow people to attend most of the codebash, and also participate in this meeting. The expectation was that portfolio developers may not have been to a codebash before, and thus may not have as much codebashing to transact as other more experienced codebashers. Non-codebashers were also very welcome at this meeting.

Please contact Simon Grant for any further discussion.
