Notes of the conference call and action points at the bottom. Any comments or additions are welcome. Jeroen. Attending were: Guy Roberts, Freek Dijkstra, Aaron Brown, Martin Swany, Gigi Karmous-Edwards, and Jeroen van der Ham. NML is ramping up again after a short period of inactivity. There has been an outreach session in Taipei presented by Cees de Laat, with about 6 people listening. Jeroen notes that it seems time to pick up writing of the schema document again, because it seems we have "violent agreement" on the schema diagram right now (attached). Freek will write the identifiers section. He proposes to write some standard stuff on how to compare them, what namespace of OGF to use, etc. Martin worries that it should not get too specific to stir up discussion in GENI, GLIF or other groups. Jeroen will start reviewing and updating the schema section of the document and then pass it to Martin. The examples section could be written using the examples that Jason and Jeroen used on the mailinglist some time back. [Update: these were committed to a repository some time back: http://forge.ogf.org/integration/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/?root=nml-examples&system=exsy1001 ] Freek informs about the work John MacAuley has been doing, Freek received some questions about using NML in WSDLs. Guy mentions that John has been working hard on implementing NSI in WSDL. Jeroen notes that there is an Automated GOLE demonstration in GLIF where he is now pushing a very simplified version of NML using a graphical editor. This should spark some interest in GOLE operators about the usefulness of topology exchange. Hopefully this leads to more implementation and feedback to NML. Guy mentions that there is also work in GEANT on a GUI for topology descriptions, which he will send to the list. Action Points: - Freek will finish a draft of the identifiers section in 4 weeks. - Jeroen will review the schema section and update it. - Jeroen will dig up the topology examples again - Aaron will review the XML version to see if it still fits with their work - Guy will send info the list on GEANT topology editting.

Hello,
After a period of inactivity, and an OGF where NML has no session, I'd like to pick up the pace again and set up a new teleconference.
If I remember correctly, our usual spot was on Thursdays at UTC 16:00 = EST 11:00 = 8:00 PDT = 17:00 CET, which hopefully works out again after the daylight savings shift.
Unless there are any major objections, I'm setting up a new call on the 7th of April.
Agenda for that call is starting to write on the schema document. The schema diagram has been fixed now for quite some time without any major objections, so I'd like to start writing this finally and hopefully get a first draft finished by next OGF.
