And here are the minutes from last meeting, for your review before this 
week's meeting: 
http://open-services.net/wiki/automation/AutomationMeetings20131017/



Attending: Umberto, Martin, Steve S, John Arwe, Mike F

* Documents
    * Primer - versioning removed
        * Moved to [[OSLC Automation Primer]]
        * Removed version number, and this/previous/latest version links 
from top
        * Status line now refers to the version of the latest main spec 
that it refers to, rather than its own version
        * Updated old URL [[OSLC Automation Primer 2.0]] to redirect to 
new page

* Timeline for PostV2
    * Convergence by 1st Dec
    * Finalization by 14th Jan?
        * If we have enough people trying implementing it by then
        * TODO: Detail who will be the first 'trial' implementors, and 
determine when they can try implementing it.

* Template creation
    * New section in 2.1 spec
    * New oslc:usage URI for template creation dialogs
        * TODO: Needs to go into vocab document when we go into 
finalization
        * #templateCreation should be #TemplateCreation
    * "The resource MAY be temporary and the consumer SHOULD get it within 
a limited time and SHOULD NOT assume that it is available after the first 
time it has been requested."
    * "The resource MAY not be persisted and therefore MAY not be able to 
be queried. Consumers that want to be interoperable SHOULD presume that 
the resource is not persisted and cannot be queried."

* CM discussion on Actions is complete, as a result of previous 
discussions on Automation and CM WGs.
    * Action spec can fit into CM work group - CM to decide whether to 
keep things in their namespace and provide information on how to infer 
Action triples, or whether to use Action triples explicitly, but nothing 
more to feed back to Automation/Core on design of Actions.

* Orchestration
    * Problem is tying outputs from one Plan to inputs to another.
    * Green Hat has a couple of scenarios that could be used to 
demonstrate this sort of problem, but we're not asking for an OSLC 
solution.
    * Tivoli (Workload Scheduler?) has a similar problem - requires a 
manual wiring step.
    * Concensus seems to be to leave on back burner until someone needs it 
and would want to implement it.

* Actions
    * Terminology email - Impl type vs profile
        * "Profile" is casual term
        * Impl type would be in core spec (possibly copied in Auto, 
depends on making Auto spec readable)
        * Core spec also to refer to CM's usage of Actions - so readers of 
Core have existing examples to reuse or copy
            * Useful to see a draft
            * Depends on CM draft spec. Doesn't have a hard date.
            * CM will look at Auto's example.
    * Terminology email - "future actions"/"actions without context"
        * Discussion about similarity between AutoRequest templates and 
"future actions".
        * Will continue discussion by email
    * TODO: getting proposal more spec-ready

I am continuing to refine the draft of the Core content at 
http://open-services.net/wiki/core/Exposing-arbitrary-actions-on-RDF-resources/ 

While I'm not entirely done, there are some questions from Martin's draft 
that we might be able to close on (response incorporated into this draft 
for at least one, see largest read block).  Blue is a temporary decoration 
for recently drafted normative text, in case anyone wonders.  There is a 
draft of the first profiles there now, for both Automation and CM. 

I would like an agenda slot too to discuss some potential new work.  I 
don't think it belongs "in" the Automation spec necessarily, but it's 
reasonably well aligned with a broader definition of automation so it 
might be appropriate for the WG.  It might be a logical follow-on to the 
in-flight work.  I suspect 10 minutes will be enough, there is nothing 
written about it at this point.
