B. Acceptance of the last meeting, Nov 06, 2007 call minutes,
- Accepted
C. Current documents status - IDL DRMAA doc submitted
- Peter reported about comments from GFSC - Takes responsibility of adding them to the public comment page (still not online) - New OGF process also in public comment, but still does not affect DRMAA
E. Current discussion items - Java doc/implementation version
- Dan explained problem with Java binding versioning - "Java 1.0 binding" published earlier on drmaa.org, was implemented by several people - Updated (and IDL 1.0 spec compliant) version of this document renames one method - Leads to question of document version number, and returned API version number - Agreement that this reflects the general question of versioning policy - Was not explicitly defined in the past - Future policy needs then to be applied to the Java spec - Similar problems in the past with different C binding versions (SGE has two C DRMAA libs) - Two proposals roughly identified - Synchronized document version numbers are the major issue - Leads to another "Java 1.0" spec, but this time in the OGF document chain and therefore with a GFD number - Might confuse existing developers - Document version numbers are decoupled from API version numbers - Leads to some "Java 1.X" document, which must relate itself to IDL spec 1.0 in the text - Might confuse OGF / new developers - Question of returned API version number also still unsolved - Agreement that versioning policy discussion must be solved by offline discussion - Call for short proposals on mailing list and / or wiki
- DRMAA logo
- Not discussed.
- SC'07
- According to Dan, nothing new from Platform so far. - Agreement that having all ISV's / vendors in one room would be the best for discussing future DRMAA development - Andreas will check possibilities for such an event at Sun Next phone conference is on Jan 15th. Happy new year !
