- 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.
- </p>

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