dependencies.

acceptable resolutions of "what does it mean to conform to SCA?" issue.

orcl/sap/ibm have started internal discussion - hope to be able to 

report back and discuss at the ASS f2f

6. OpenCSA Project Management

Schedule Review

Sep 15, 2008 - Raise the bar for opening new issues (for all TCs)

Sep 29, 2008 - Incorporate RFC 2119 language

Nov 15, 2008 - Detailed design for testing work

Jan 23, 2009 - Assembly TC to start 1st Public Review (60 day)

Feb 23, 2009 - Other TCs to start 1st Public Review (60 day)

May 31, 2009 - Finish all the work

July 4, 2009 - Submit specs to OASIS for OS vote

assembly -- given that the f2f is that week, they won't be ready - 

optimistic that a few weeks after that is realistic, +/-

obviously the ass f2f could cause a big ripple effect

a. assuming no big ripple effect, consensus seems to be that 30 days 

after assembly is "ready" is reasonable

Proposed schedule - push assembly to 2 weeks after f2f - feb 16th, 

pull in policy to be coincident -

    Criteria is - be able to have the draft of the proposed review 

draft available on feb 16. Then have a week to let people review and 

then vote on a possibly amended version the following week.

  BPEL, Bindings, c/c++. and Java will lag by 2 more weeks - March 2

NOTE: this does assume that there no major unresolved issues after the 

f2f - only editorial work remains

b. if there is a big ripple effect, then will have to re-assess

The final date (July 4) will need to be reassessed once we have a 

better idea of the outcome of the public reviews, so it is still 

fairly tentative.

7. Spec dependency discussion

See email reports.

It is now clear that other specs have dependency on policy, so we 

should probably group policy and assembly to be at the bottom of 

dependency tree.

8. SCA conformance discussion

nothing to discuss yet - awaiting internal company discussions to 

complete. Anticipate discussing this at the Assembly f2f.

9 Testing

Mike: assembly stuff going reasonably well - roughly 2/3 of test 

assertions are done - looks like the assembly work will be done by end 

of month. Concerned that there hasn't been much evidence of progress 

on the other specs.

Long discussion on approval processes for test assertions and tests. 

The tentative conclusion is that we will want to get them to CS level 

- [gratuitous editorial comment - if only we had "info docs" ]

AI - TCs to develop schedule for test artifact development.

10. Next conf-call?

Next con call will be after the f2f so next call will be 5 Feb.

   Jeff will probably not be able to make that (at an OASIS Board 

f2f), Sanjay will run the call.
