2021-10-14 Eiffel event workshop

The purpose of this workshop is to have a face-to-face discussion of Eiffel issues whose discussions have stalled or maybe never started. Example outcomes for each issue:

  • Consensus that the proposed change is good. Assign someone to send a PR.
  • General approval but details need to be hashed out outside the meeting. Assign someone to drive that discussion.
  • Reject the issue. Assign someone to provide a motivation.

Attendees

  • Emil Bäckmark
  • Magnus Bäck
  • Mattias Linnér
  • Tobias Persson
  • Bruce Wen
  • Kenneth Wei-Kiat Lam
  • Martin Kitchen
  • Erik Sternerson

Agenda

Linking activity events to each other

  • https://github.com/eiffel-community/eiffel/issues/227
  • We decided (at least preliminary, it is not in any merged protocol PR yet) on a name of a new link type - PRECURSOR
    • To be used between ActT events, to describe the linear/temporal relationships between activities within a non-event driven pipeline

Actions

  • Emil: Upload the ppt to some public location

Issues discussed

Item Action
Better linking from ActT to SCC/SCS Comment from the last workshop: "Tobias to consider which events should have a RETRIGGER link." Are we otherwise ready to move ahead with this one?

Not quite, apparently. It's not clear whether a new link type is needed. Since this is tangentially related to the next item we decided to deal with that one first.
How to use CAUSE/CONTEXT in a non-event-driven pipeline? Long and fruitful discussion. Summary posted in the issue.
