|Re: Proper use of Jira for defects that occur in multiple branches/releases (was Re: Outstanding tasks for M4)
|Wed, 20 Jul 2005 19:19:56 GMT
Talk about battle of the exaggerations! :) Generally speaking, I prefer not to have multiple issues: if you put attachments and comments and stuff on one, or even edit it to change the description entirely, any "matching" issues are unafected. The "link" is pretty minor in the UI. This could result in two issues that are supposed to be the same inadvertently leading to totally different changes in two branches or whatever. That said, if branches are divergent enough that the same solution does not work even if the problem is the same, I suppose I would be in favor of separate issues. I suspect this would be true of 1.3 vs 5.6. Aaron On Wed, 20 Jul 2005, David Jencks wrote: > > +1000 > > > > I feel pretty strongly about this.

Curt: We don't really disagree. The original intent of the proposal is to protect the general public from misrepresentation and abuse within the field of Civil Engineering. The National Exam would provide a minimum standard of competency within the field of structural engineering to help deal with comity between states, however, each state would still have the power to require additional requirements for reciprocity and licensing. The present SE designation is governed by a Title Act (see below) which limits the power of Civil Engineers by the special stringent design requirements established after the 1933 Long Beach Earthquake and the 1971 San Fernando Valley (Sylmar) earthquake. The provisions of the proposal for standardization, require a change from the Title Act (which is rather unique to California) and a Practice Act (which is common in Illinois, Texas and a few other states). Your observations and "natural" conclusions are, in my opinion, right on the mark. The proposal by Warren, Ship and Castle attempt to rewrite the provisions established by the 1933 Fields Act and 1971 Hospital Act which created the designation of Structural Engineer in order to contend with more rigid design requirements of essential facilities that was deemed necessary after the damage caused by the 1933 Long Beach Earthquake and the 1971 Sylmar Quake. In March of 1999 - SEAOSC President James Lai wrote to the membership urging support for the 2-tiered Structural Engineering license as well as support of the provisions to change from a Title Act (as noted above) to a Practice Act. This is where my disagreement begins. I think some of the problems start as a result of ignorance of engineers as to the actual meaning of Title and Practice acts. I certainly did not know the difference as a CE who has no desire to sit for the SE exam. In the March 1999 James Lai stated During the October SEAOC (state) Board meeting, the SEAOC Board voted to adopt a resolution supporting licensing of structural engineers by the State of California as a practice act. This is a departure from the long-established title act which grants qualified licensed civil engineers the authority to use the title of structural engineer. In conjunction with a nationwide movement towards licensing requirement for structural engineers through a two-tier national examination prepared by practicing engineers and towards mandatory provisions for continuing education, we may find the California State Legislature willing to consider a change of the registration law. This resolution is necessary in order to safeguard against the possibility of generic P.E. licensing and having the structural engineer authority sunset through legislative action. " The problem is that changing from a Title Act to a Practice act requires a stricter definition of the responsibilities for the SE-I license. The SE-II is unlimited in scope of power. There is no practical way to do this without restraining an existing CE from practicing beyond the scope of responsibility that Bill Warren defines in his proposal for a (http://www.structuralist.net/Professional/Abstracts_Pubs/) Proposal - Establishment of the Academy of Structural Engineering - SEAOC Professional Licensing Committee. In this document, Warren suggests the following limitations for the "Entry Level SE-I" : 1. To design Low-rise buildings not to exceed 3 stories, and 2. of regular shape as defined by the code and 3. limited to static analysis procedures Clearly this would require "grand fathering" in CE's who currently practice dynamic analysis or other cyclical based analysis procedures into a SE-II category. The alternative is to strain the CE or SE-I from practicing in his specialty until which point he has obtained sufficient experience and has passed the exams necessary to re-classify him or her as an SE-II. This alone creates a dichotomy which Dr. Gene Corley, in his publication . The Case for Licensing for Structural Engineer , warns could happen without standardization and national Licensing. My concern is that NCSEA is moving too fast on these provisions without informing the professional community of the conflicts and problems. They are doing a lot of PR to extol the virtues but as we can see, this provision, if not well thought out, can cause harm to the practicing engineer. Inasmuch as the title act is not restrictive by practice, Warrens proposal places the authority to define the limits of practice to those engineers without restrictions - the SE-II's. This would lead to restrictions and more importantly, potential restraint of trade for engineers who currently possess both the knowledge and ability to practice beyond these very restrictive limits. So, in agreement with your argument, I would only support the act on the provisions that the definition of practice be limited only to the current limits as defined by the Fields Act of 1933 and the 1971 Hospital Act. The difference of practice should be defined as limited only by the application of the practice on buildings considered essential facilities. This leaves further restriction in the hands of the building officials for what they require in excess of the minimum standard for licensing. For these reasons and all that you stated in your post, SE's should not try to define a limit of practice, nor should they act in sole responsible charge to regulate the structural engineering community. This must be done by nothing less than a panel of our peers which is equally represented by SE-I and II - with neither having a majority vote. Regards, Dennis S.

About the Property
House, 4 Bedrooms, 4 Baths, (Sleeps 10), Just across the street from the beach!
Located on the second tier of Las Conchas; there is only one house between you and the beachfront. This house sits high enough that it has beautiful, panoramic ocean views. On a clear day, you can see across the gulf all the way to distant Baja California, right from the sun deck and the great room. This home is just steps away from the beautiful, uncrowded sandy beach!
The beach offers miles of open space for walking, shell-hunting, sunbathing and fishing. The Sea of Cortez has the third-highest tidal variations in the world; giving you a beautiful beach to play on at high tide, and fascinating tide pools to explore at low tide. The locals often come by in boats and offer you the opportunity to take a thrilling ride on a banana boat along the coast, or to go for a horseback ride on the beach. Venture into town, and you will find plenty of vendors offering fishing charters, snorkel and scuba diving trips, parasail rides, and jet ski rentals.
This large, well-maintained custom home has four bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms. There are three master suites; all with en-suite full baths. Two of the master suites feature sliding patio doors leading to the sun deck; have ocean views, and are fitted with king-size beds. The third master suite features a double bed and a window with an ocean view. The fourth bedroom has a bunk bed, plus two twin beds and, while the bathroom is not an en-suite, it does have its own bathroom located right next to this bedroom. The beds in the four bedrooms sleep up to 10 people. Maximum occupancy for the house is 8 people.
The kitchen is fully outfitted for your needs. A standard size refrigerator, a four-burner electric stove, full-size oven, a dishwasher, and a microwave. A coffee maker, blender, crock-pot, and fryer are also included. Pots and pans, cooking utensils, kitchen linens, silverware, and an abundance of dishes are all there for your use.
Linens are also provided for the bedrooms and bathrooms.
The center of Puerto Penasco is a short 10 to 15 minute drive away. There, you will find everything you might want; including restaurants, souvenirs, pharmacies, liquor stores, bakeries, hardware stores, freshly caught fish and seafood, ice cream shops, jewelry stores, banks and gas stations.
We look forward to having you as our guests at 'La Buena Vida'! Mi casa es su casa!
Keywords: Gorgeous home on the sea of Cortez, located in Las Conchas, private gated neighborhood, second row just off the beach. Full kitchen, four car garage, beautiful deck overlooking the ocean. Outdoor shower for when you come off the beach.
