Subject: Re: [chairs] For those TCs using JIRA
The "original" philosophy was that
discussions and decisions were made in the Jira items, so the TC
list should be notified to keep people in the loop. This differs
from the assumption of just the listed members, but I'm not aware
of the details of that configuration.
Not disputing that original approach, I just filter anything obviously from Jira and don't read it...I do status updates in the tool itself. The default (way back when) was that all TC members were included, and I believe that to enter items (remember that comments to the TC list are still comments, and if you use Jira SOMEONE needs to enter them) you had to also be listed as a "developer". Fortunately my TCs are relatively slowly changing now, and relatively small, so this hasn't been much of an issue. But I'd rather people enter their own comments than find that special someone to take all of the emails and figure out what's being commented on. My two cents...Jira is a useful tool; notification was the original reason for making all TC members aware of changes, but anyone can read the summary at any time. Thanks! bill -- William Cox

And you bring up another good reason not to bulk add people, particularly for those who work on multiple TCs.

By default, once added, users receive notifications of everything. The resultant flood can turn people off as much as please those for whom this information is valuable. If someone wants to be added, it's a relatively simple task, no? -----Original Message----- From: Chet Ensign [mailto:chet.ensign@oasis-open.org] Sent: Monday, 06 August, 2012 11:58 To: chairs@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: [chairs] For those TCs using JIRA Bill Cox of the EMIX TC suggested that I should share the following information with you. Apparently, it was past practice to regularly update JIRA with new members who joined TCs. I wasn't aware of the practice and I have been updating participants in TCs only when asked. Adding members to JIRA is presently very time consuming. We may have a fix in place in the future to work off the member database but for now I must set up users by hand. So I don't plan at present to resume regular whole-scale updates. If you are aware of people in your TC who should have access to the TC's JIRA project but do not, please let me know and I will be happy to set them up. Let me know if you have any questions. /chet ---------------- Chet Ensign Director of Standards Development and TC Administration OASIS: Advancing open standards for the information society http://www.oasis-open.org Primary: +1 973-996-2298 Mobile: +1 201-341-1393 TC Administration information and support is available at http://www.oasis-open.org/resources/tcadmin Follow OASIS on: LinkedIn: http://linkd.in/OASISopen Twitter: http://twitter.com/OASISopen Facebook: http://facebook.com/oasis.open |
