RE: Organizing the Open Education Session for Day 1 of the OASIS SCA F2F Meeting in September,

Hi Mike,

 

I think the overall planning looks good. Few 
comments:

 

In my experience of giving SCA presentations 
internally, I have found it helpful to start the overall discussion with 
description of main IT scenarios where standardization of SCA adds value. I am 
not sure if you were planning to include such content as part of the SCA 
Overview presentation. I would be more than happy to share my content on this 
topic and join you for this session.

 

Henning is 
currently on vacation, but I am guessing that he (or Ron if he can make for the 
F2F) might be interested in volunteering for the session on "SCA 
Java".

 

SCA BPEL part might need more than 15 minutes. Although the 
SCA BPEL Binding spec is short and simple, I have seen that this 
topic typically attracts some questions (perhaps due to the general 
popularity of both BPEL and SCA). I would recommend to set aside 30 minutes for 
the SCA BPEL Binding session.

 

We may have to adjust the 
lunch time a little bit based on how the cafeteria decides to handle the 
additional traffic coming from this group 
:-)

Subject: 
Organizing the Open Education Session for Day 1 of the OASIS SCA F2F Meeting in 
September,

Folks, 

As part of the OASIS SCA F2F meeting planned for Palo 
Alto in the week beginning 17th September, 
Day 1 is planned to be an SCA education session, open to all. 

I've agreed to help coordinate the 
education session and this note aims to start the process of building 

an agenda for the education session and it is 
also a request for help from those folks who are experts 
in one or more parts of SCA.  We need to share out 
both the preparation of material and the presentation 
of material on the day. 

Here are my initial thoughts - comments and suggestions 
welcome, of course 

1) Schedule 
for the day 

I suggest 09:00 - 
12:00 and 13:00 - 16:00 as the times for the education session. 

This allows time for lunch and time at the 
end for discussions between attendees and presenters. 

2) Topic areas 

- SCA Overview (a general overview touching on everything 
that follows....) 
- SCA Assembly 
model 
- SCA Java (to include Spring and 
JEE) 
- SCA BPEL 
- SCA Policy Framework (to include Security, Reliable 
Messaging and Transactions) 
- SCA 
Bindings (to include Web services, JMS, JCA) 
- SCA C++ 
- SCA Work in Progress 
(?) to include COBOL, C, Pub/Sub, 

I 
think that something like this ordering would be a good idea. 

I'm looking for volunteers! 

a) to prepare the materials 
b) to give the presentations - I suggest no more than 2 
people per topic 

3) 
Format 

I suggest that the core 
of the material will be slide presentations. 

If we can fit them in, it would be nice to have some live 
demos of material closely related to the slides, 
but that will also depend on whether we can fit them into 
the schedule. 

The presentations will 
be posted onto the OASIS OpenCSA website after the session. 

4) Possible Detailed Schedule 

09:00 - 09:40 SCA Overview 
09:40 - 10:30 SCA Assembly 
10:30 - 10:45 Break 
10:45 - 11:45 SCA Java 
11:45 - 
12:00 SCA BPEL 

12:00 - 13:00 Lunch 
(a very important topic - not to be missed ;-) 

13:00 - 13:45 SCA Policy Framework 
13:45 - 14:45 SCA Bindings 
14:45 - 15:00 Break 
15:00 - 15:30 SCA C++ 
15:30 - 
16:00 SCA Work in Progress 

5) 
Presenters 

I'm happy to do the 
SCA Overview or the SCA Assembly topics. 
Offers for the various slots welcome.
