Dear all, I'm happy to announce that a concrete progress was made in aligning the XSD document to GLUE 2.0 final. This is a very delicate work which needs a focused activity and, being delayed for too long, we decided to run a face-to-face meeting at the end of March to make progress. Adrian Taga, Balazs Konya, Shiraz Memon and I met in Lund (Sweden) and worked two full days with the participation of Paul Millar from remote. Thanks to this effort, we managed to update the GLUE XSD and the related descriptive document which now need the final make-up before submitting them for the last call and subsequent public comment to the GLUE WG list. In parallel, Ilya Saverchenko and his colleagues from LRZ are pushing forward the SQL rendering and document. The LDAP rendering is in production since few months already and the specification needs to be read for consistency (action being carried out by Adrian Taga). We are therefore in a good shape to move all the three rendering to last call in the coming few weeks (hopefully before the end of April) and start the public comment phase. As a side news, I'd like to announce that: - the new official source code repository is now hosted in github.com. I have created three repositories (one per rendering) which you can access following this link: https://github.com/OGF-GLUE/ - the descriptive documents accompanying the renderings are available here (with the new draft for the XSD): http://forge.ogf.org/sf/go/projects.glue-wg/docman.root.drafts - the wiki pages have been polished and updated: http://forge.ogf.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.glue-wg/wiki/HomePage Looking forward to writing soon about when all the three specs and documents are ready for last call. Meanwhile, if you are building on top of GLUE XSD, you are welcome to download the new version for early feedback.
