Turbine Summit

San Francisco, Calif. June 19, 2000
Head Count: 29

What happens when you get 29 engineers in a room at one time with free food and drinks? A lot of discussion and ideas! So much so that I only captured the main points of the discussion. However, I'm sure if anyone has any specific questions about an area we can collectively provide the details. Here's what we talked about:

Turbine specific

  • Competition
    • Hard to find open-source competition for Turbine
    • Closest competition is closed source and expensive

  • Peer Model
    • Main components ( Mapbuilder, BaseObject, BasePeer, Data Objects ) and how it works
    • Utility to generate code for Mapbuilders, Peers, and DataObjects
    • Object ID Broker. Why it's there and how it works.
    • Ability/Flexibility to use straight SQL and Village when desired

  • Velocity
    • A walk through how it works
    • How the ActionEvent works and how to use it
    • Current issues with licensing
    • Possible areas to look at:
      • Turbine/Velocity tutorial
      • The ability for one screen to use many templates

  • Misc items
    • How user/role/permission works
    • Use of Turbine interfaces for adding specific business logic ( session validator, login, etc... )
    • Services
      • Possible addition of Search service ( Lucene search engine )
      • Discussion of XML-RPC/SOAP service
    • Moving to the release of Turbine

Scarab Specific

  • Heavy discussion of Schema
    • Table naming convention (SCRAB_table)
    • Walk through of table layout
    • Small field changes suggested
    • Adding fields for comments
    • Adding time stamps for tables
  • Misc. items
    • Professional UIbeing designed
    • Staying focused on features needed for a 1.0 release
    • Why are we replacing Bugzilla

I think I've covered the key areas. If Imissed something, feel free to add or modify this.
