Present ------- Mike Bekerle Robert McGrath Steve Hanson Tara Talbott Martin Westhead Geoff Judd Plans for F2F at GGF -------------------- - we should get the schedule for the DFDL sessions at GGF15 at end of this week. - we'll schedule DFDL WG F2F sessions around these time slots on the other days of the conference. - we have booked a conf. room (seats 10) at an IBM facility a short distance (walkable, quick cab ride) from the GGF15 event for DFDL WG F2F discussions on the other days. (I have all 3 days held now.) Trackers vs. issues list ------------------------ Discussed value of trackers against the issues list. It was thought that trackers should be used for tracking large scale actions, the list for small grained issues. Email vs. Forums ---------------- Some are still unhappy about the difficulty of reading unthreaded discussions. However, notification on Grid Forge is still broken on the Forums. The group was unable to come up with anything better than email. We will put pressure, GGF to fix this and progress with email for now. IBM will also look at using alternative mail readers that with display threads. Choosing topics/issues for discussion ------------------------------------- Ideally topics will be chosen in the previous meeting. However, for now an item by item review of the issues list seems to be our current process. Issues list review ------------------ Reviewed items 1-4. Set up new trackers: - Arrays [Bob McGrath] - Scoping (including Selector) [Mike Bekerle] - Layers [Tara Talbott] All to report by Face to Face Oct 3rd. Notes on trackers: - The assignments are not as above. I can only assign projects to people who are members of DFDL. To get membership you have to go to the DFDL page and click on "Request membership" in the top right. Can Tara and Bob, and anyone else who might lead a team do this please? - I made a mistake and submitted the Layers item twice. I have not worked out how to delete it so I moved it to "Dead items" tracker...
