two

notion of

-        Session traffic was largely flat during the last quarter of 2005 
-        presumably on the grounds that the DPML is for the moment dealing 
-        with milestone as opposed to versioned builds.

-        Perhaps the most important achievement of 2005 is the validation of 
the principal that
-        that your can decompose problems down to the insignificant. The DPML
-        currently host some 37 projects.  Each project is itself a 
self-contained and 
-        surmountable problem space.  This in and of itself is a major 
achievement because 
-        it demonstrates a resilient development strategy.

-        Looking forward the DPML faces several challenges:
-        </p>
-
-        <ul>
-          <li>At a technical level the big to-do items relate to the 
incorporation 
-            of security policies across the Transit, Depot and Metro 
systems.</li>
-          <li>At a operational level the building of guidelines and tutorial 
material that captures the fundamental concepts and principals of assembly 
versus composition (in effect, the semantics of the next-step in 
component-based development) are an immediate objective.</li>
-          <li>At a broader level - building the combination of community 
control 
-            combined with a structured framework for long-term entity 
integrity 
-            is perhaps the most interesting challenge.  Is the DPML about 
developer interest or perhaps service providers?  I believe that 2006 will be 
more about collaboration - collaboration with other open source projects, 
collaboration with industrial partners, and collaboration with government 
agencies. But perhaps most interesting of all is the international role - the 
potential leverage across borders in solving the bigger issues.

-        </ul>
-
-        <p>
-        While 2005 has been all about technology, I'm betting that 2006 will 
be all about collaboration.
