[Oslc-Automation] OSLC Automation: Current business & next meetings

[Martin P Pain]

The work that we currently have in progress:

1. Automation 2.0:
An issue whose resolution we need to agree on: POST-FINALIZATION-12 [1]

Automation 2.1/Actions:
2. The proposal in my recent email, about explicitly identifying in the 
RDF what means an interaction pattern uses to identify the result of the 
action (so that future interaction patterns can be defined that use the 
same means of constructing a message, but a different means of identifying 
the success/failure status, and we have a way of distinguishing them in 
the bindings' RDF).
See 
http://open-services.net/pipermail/oslc-automation_open-services.net/2014-April/000720.html 
(2nd half)

3. Agreeing to proceed to convergence phase.
I think this will need to wait until we have item 2 drafted and agreed on.

4. Availability
The new scenarios are now up on the wiki [2] (thanks Juergen). Everyone, 
please have a read of it.
a) We need to agree as the WG what the scope of the Available work is. 
(Juergen & Tim have proposed the entirety of the scenarios that are 
currently on the wiki).
b) In order to speed things along, Juergen & Tim (or anyone else) you 
could start working on a proposed solution for how we address these in the 
spec (but discussion of this might have to wait until we've agreed the 
scope, but that should hopefully be at the next meeting).


Our regular meeting schedule would have us meet Thursday 10th April. 
Neither Juergen nor myself will not be able to attend that meeting. 
However, I suggest the rest of you meet to discuss the three items 1, 2, 
and 4a. (Hopefully we can then vote on item 3 in the subsequent meeting).
(My views: I believe the change to :unavailable in item 1 would be 
correct; John & I have discussed item 2 and I'd like us to proceed with 
it; and I'm happy with accepting the scope of the Availability work to 
those scenarios, subject to a single comment that I will make in a 
separate email).
