o Attendees: - Hrabri Rajic - Peter Troeger - Daniel Templeton - Roger Brobst - Daniel Grueber o 3 Feb "unofficial" Minutes -- accepted o Job substates - Three alternatives: integer, string, or object . Integers Highly portable Must be interpreted according to DRM-specific header information Could be misinterpreted because of DRM mismatch Misinterpretation results in confused application Natural in all languages, but may clash stylistically with native enumerations . Strings Highly portable Must be interpreted according to DRM-specific header information Could be misinterpreted because of DRM mismatch Misinterpretation results in confused application Requires string interpretation -- lots of sources for errors Natural to Python, unnatural to other languages . Object -- void* or hash or Object, depending on the language Allows maximum flexibility per language and DRM Must be interpreted according to DRM-specific header information Failure to interpret correctly results in a segfault or ClassCastException Natural in most (all?) languages - We also have to consider how to represent in IDL - We will continue the discussion online and vote at the next meeting Daniel
