OData TC meeting on Jan 14 canceled - next meeting on Jan 21

It appears that more than a few of us may not be able to attend the OData TC meeting on Jan 14. I suggest that we cancel this week’s meeting. We will meet next on Jan 21 at the usual time. In the meanwhile, please, if you can, make progress
 on preparing concrete proposals for the following issues [1], so we can have a productive session on Jan 21st.

 

On Jan 21st, we will discuss those issues, and also a plan for landing the various docs in flight. Here is a projection of what the status of the various docs may be by June 2016. We will discuss and refine.

OData v4 Errata (Approved Errata)

OData v4.1 (Committee Specification Draft 01)

Extensions for Data Aggregation (Committee Specification 02)

Extensions for Temporal Data (Committee Specification Draft 01)

OData JSON Schema for CSDL (Committee Specification 01)

Thank you.
