JSDL Telecon
by Mark Morgan 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

JSDL WG, The next JSDL WG telecon will be this coming Wednesday at our normal time (from 1000 UTC to 1100 UTC). We will by trying out EVO (http://evo.caltech.edu/evoNext/index.jsp ) as a meeting video and audio provider. I have to admit, I like EVO in terms of functionality and price, but I find it very cumbersome to use and so I'm not sure how well this is going to go, but we did agree as a group to give it a shot and so we shall. To that end, I have booked a meeting for JSDL which is available via the following link http://evo.caltech.edu/evoNext/koala.jnlp?meeting=MeMMMu2M29D9D89M9vDv9e . We'll try to use that for everything this time around (audio, video, whiteboard, chat, and screen sharing). If we encounter a problem, we'll play it by ear. I'm still in the process of learning EVO and will enlist Michael Saravo here to help me. However, I HIGHLY encourage everyone to try out EVO on their own before then so that they can have a general idea of how to use it. As I said, I don't find it very intuitive in many ways and I probably won't be able to help you if you have a question about it. Please remember to read the document that Etienne wrote about JSDL and Glue 2. Thanks, Mark For this telecon, I propose the following agenda: * Roll Call and Minutes * Approve last meetings minutes * Agenda Bashing * Discussing Use Case Templates * Discuss Etienne's GLUE 2 document * Teleconferencing Software * Action Item Review

Ooops, one more thing

Forgot to mention a couple things for EVO. The meeting password is !! jsdl-wg. Also, if we do end up liking EVO and using it long term, I can create a new EVO "Universe" for us that might make finding things easier. We'll see how things go this week. -Mark

JSDL Use Case Template
by Mark Morgan 24 Jan '11

24 Jan '11

Please find attached the use case template I found on the JSDL gridforge site. I'm afraid that I'm not too enamored with it myself, but I promised I'd find it and mail it out. I'm also going to add this document and the document that Etienne mailed out to grid forge. -Mark

Minutes are up

I have posted the minutes from last week's telecon. I have also started some task descriptions on Source Forge (nothing earth shattering yet). Please review the minutes and the GLUE 2/JSDL attributes document that Etienne sent out (http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc16171 ) before the next telecon a week and a half from today. Thanks, Mark

OGF JSDL : Voice conferencing - Use Case Template
by Etienne URBAH 19 Jan '11

19 Jan '11

Mark, Thank you very much for the organization of the OGF JSDL voice conferences. Voice conferencing ------------------ If you need to test EVO : - Using menu 'Search / Search Communities', you will be able to look at existing communities. You will perhaps find a community which is suitable for us. I do NOT know how to create a community, but anyway, you can easily create meetings inside the default 'Universe' community. - Using menu 'Help & Test / Test receiving Audio/Video', you can try at any time in the 'EVI TV' test facility. - You can book a meeting, then send me a mail with the name of the test meeting and the time (UTC). If I am available, I will start EVO and connect to this test meeting. Alternatively, I can get an account at the MCU of my institute and organize voice meetings from there. Should I try this solution ? Use Case Template ----------------- As Use Case Template, I suggest the 'PGI Software Engineering Use Case Template' available at http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc16024 Best regards. ----------------------------------------------------- Etienne URBAH LAL, Univ Paris-Sud, IN2P3/CNRS Bat 200 91898 ORSAY France Tel: +33 1 64 46 84 87 Skype: etienne.urbah Mob: +33 6 22 30 53 27 mailto:urbah@lal.in2p3.fr -----------------------------------------------------

First JSDL Telecon in 2011
by Mark Morgan 18 Jan '11

18 Jan '11

Folks, We will have our first JSDL Telecon of 2011 this coming Wednesday from 1500 UTC to 1600 UTC. I will be using Glance to share my screen (use a browser to go to uvacse.glance.net during the telecon. As we have always done in OGSA before, the code for the glance session will be the two digit number for the month followed by the two digit number of the day of the month (therefor, this coming Wednesday, the code will be 0119). For voice, I would really like to use Skype if possible. Its free, its professional (well, we can pretend at least that it is) and it's easy. If everyone who intends to participate could please send me your Skype ID (mine is mmm2a42) I'll be happy to add you to my list and conference us all in together. If you can't use skype, please let me know and I'll try to figure something else out. Finally, as promised before, here is the agenda I would like to use for this coming telecon: * Roll Call and Minutes * Approve last meetings minutes (I know we don't have a last meeting so this is a place holder for the future) * Agenda Bashing (in general, I will ask (not require) that anyone who wants to change the agenda please do so by email to me with at least 24 hours notice on the actual meeting -- I'm a firm believer in Brooks' Mythical Man Month when it comes to meetings) * JSDL Planning for 2011 - What do we want to accomplish (I have a few ideas and I know that PGI has some thoughts) - How are we going to get from here to there. - What procedure will be adopt for prioritizing work - Who plans on active participation (i.e., who is going to work on JSDL items between telecons). * OGF 31 Discussion * Next Telecon Planning (Wednesday, 2 February 2011) * Action Item Review

One last JSDL item
by Mark Morgan 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Oh, I forgot to mention in my last email, but starting with the upcoming telecon, my intention is to use only the jsdl-wg mailing list to avoid spamming other lists so please, if you are in PGI and want to be kept abreast of what is going on in JSDL, join the jsdl-wg as a member so you get the emails. Thanks, Mark

JSDL Telecon
by Mark Morgan 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

The doodle poll for the JSDL telecon shows a clear winner for the telecon schedule. I'd like to start having telecons for the JSDL working group every other Wednesday at 1500 GMT starting next week on Wednesday, 19 January 2011. I'll send out an agenda no later than COB on the Monday prior. Right now, my plan is to use Glance for screen sharing. I haven't figured out about voice yet but I'll send that information when I do. Thanks, Mark

JSDL Working Group Telecons
by Mark Morgan 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

Folks, As of today, I think all of the necessary e-paper work has been done to include me as one of the JSDL WG CoChairs. As a member of the PGI working group, and also as a supporter of JSDL technologies, I know that there are a lot of things that people would like to address in JSDL. To that end, I would like to start having regularly scheduled telecons for the JSDL WG again starting in the new year (starting the week of 10 Jan 2011 to 14 Jan 2011). I haven't figured out the telecon mechanism yet, but will before the first telecon. I've created a Doodle Poll to try and zero in on an acceptable telecon time. If you are interested in participating in JSDL, please go to the link http://www.doodle.com/xv6zv4re34p85xkq and indicate your availability for telecon participating. Voting for a time slot is an indication of your willingness to attend telecons when possible. You can assume that the existence of a time slot on the doodle pool constitutes a vote from me to attend at that time slot. I know that a lot of the times are kind of early for US folks, and probably a bit late for Japan, but hopefully they split the difference a bit. Also, I suggest we start out with a telecon every other week and increase the number as necessary once things get going. Thanks, Mark
