1. SCM Workgroup rechartering

  • Rainer provides the update on the current status
    • had a call between the WG participants and Rainer taking a StC hat
    • agreement has been reached amongst that group
    • quick summary of the idea: ConfigMgmt group will focus on the general content for the area, at a later date some of their work may be passed into Core, further work, say back to SCM, can be owned by another group at that time
    • Dave: will the SCM specs still stand, but just not get updated?
      • Rainer: yes; once a ConfigMgmt spec is released, it would need to be updated
    • Dave: where will people who have questions about the SCM spec be directed?
      • Steve S.: those details would need to be worked out
      • John W.: can we hypothesize that however the infrastructure supports it, but the work need to answer questions will be quite small?
        • Rainer, Steve S.: yes.
        • Rainer: probably makes sense to keep the mailing list open to handle any questions
  • John W.: is there anyone who doesn’t approve the transition? (assume that we’re voting yes - b/c we’re on the phone)
    • no objections
    • SCM rechartering request APPROVED (5 out of 6 votes, Tasktop abstained)
  • Rainer: Lucas, please ask Mik to send an email to confirm his support

2. Big Organization Invitations

Minutes will be kept in this OSLC StC Confidential page, here.

3. Prioritization of Communications WG activities

  • Rainer: proposes that we just give the prioritized list to the Communications WG and have them build a plan and start the work
  • John W.: since the 5 items are very close, are we find to say to the Communications WG that these are the top 5, start working on them
    • agreement
  • John W.: as a StC member, would like to have regular progress report for what is happening on this item
    • Rainer: this is something that will have to be worked out over time, but yes, exactly

4. Next meeting

  • week of September 24th
  • times? two options this time: 10 AM EDT, 11 AM EDT (most people like the 10 AM Eastern time, but Lucas is not sure about how Mik feels about a 7 AM Pacific start)
  • future, settle on a time, even settle on a day of the week … that can then be our bias, and we only need to move as need
