People who attended the meeting :

• Kosta Gaitanis
• Ivan A. Uemlianin
• Arnaud Sébastien

We decided to split up the work according to what each one of us can do best and according to our time limitations and interests. Another main point is that we decided to switch to a dual licensing system, the same as that of MySQL.

Kosta

Will review the code and make it meet the PEP specifications : http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008

Review the class specifications and create UML Diagrams

Implement the Gaussian Distributions

Ivan

My task is to upload worked examples and exercises from 'Bayesian
Networks and Decision Graphs' [1] to a suitable place on the OpenBayes
website.  I shall try and give some basic theoretical background, but
the main point will be to provide examples of BNs of different shapes
and sizes.

Arnaud

Here are the areas I should be able to help with in the short-term:

1) Assist with the setup of python setup-tools as a new package 
distribution system in order to provide better version control and a 
more streamlined process for releases. Kosta, please run through this 
quick presentation/tutorial it should get you up to speed:
http://ianbicking.org/docs/setuptools-presentation/

2) Get access to the openbayes' Berlios space and setup wiki, bug 
tracker, etc... in order to move forward the development community 
around OpenBayes. Kosta, I created an account at BerliOS, my username 
is: arnaudsj

3)  In the context of building a "plumbing" framework (I will have to 
name this soon;) work on input methods to load data in OpenBayes as 
well as extend the current Load/Save XBN format to support Gaussian 
distributions and Dynamic BNs.

4) Help clean up the Plone site a little bit to make it more 
attractive and easier for beginners.

Did I miss anything?

One thing I just thought after the facts is that one 1) is done I can 
write a darwin-port and gentoo ebuild so that it is even easier to 
install OpenBayes on Mac OS X & Gentoo Linux (it's really selfish, 
since those are my 2 favorite platforms ;)

Also, in order to communicate better I hope BerliOS has a basic 
mailing list system so that we can create a dev mailing list so that 
all who want to contribute can communicate easily with everybody 
involved. I don't believe dev talk needs to be a part of the main 
site, otherwise we might just turn off a lot of users in the forums ;)
