Agenda

* Reoccurring agenda items:

* Main agenda items:

Minutes

Attending: Michael Fiedler, John Arwe, Paul McMahan? , Lucas Panjer, Pramod Chandoria, Vaibhav Srivastava, Charles Rankin, Max Vohlken

* LucasPanjer talked through the Mylyn "Build Request" scenario

  • Need to construct UI in Eclipse via SWT - not likely to use delegated UI
  • Feels the new parameter definition proposal meets the scenario requirements
* Primary discussion was around the new [[AutoParmDefProposal][parameter definition] proposal
  • General agreement that oslc:Property is a good fit
  • Some concerns that it adds complexity for service providers and consumers beyond exposing simple name/value pairs
    • Additional concern on Resource Shape of the Automation Plan. TODO: Create sample resource shape and make sure there are no recursion issues
  • Concerns around extensibility
    • Service providers can extend as they see fit - use their own namespace for new attributes and expose them in shape documents
  • Concerns around parameter dependencies
    • Example: At first level user selects Windows, second level they select XP
    • Service provider logic or delegated UIs needed in V1 to handle these types of dependencies.
  • TODO: Update draft specification to adopt this proposal
* Version number of the specification
  • Core guidance is to number the spec after the Core spec it is based on. Automation would be V2 under this guidance
  • Several workgroup members felt this was confusing and might cause problems if Automation needed a new specification before the next Core spec - i.e. need "dot" releases
  • TODO: MichaelFiedler will send an e-mail to the workgroup list to solicit opinions.

Next meeting: 16 February at 10AM Eastern US Time
