UIMA TC Telecon Reminder for March 28 2008

Hi All,

We are on for tomorrow at the usual
time 11AM.

The agenda is to discuss a plan for
submitting the draft for review and publication by OASIS on June 1st.

Here's a tentative schedule from Adam:

-----------------------------------------------------

If we want to get a draft done by June
1st, here's how I see the schedule unfolding and what help I'll need:

Friday, April 18th (3 weeks from
now, NOT a telecon date): TC members finish up their sections and send
me updates:

     * Dave - Introduction

     * Eric - CAS specification,
Type System Model

     * Karen - Base Type
System

     * Thomas - Processing
Element Metadata

     * (I'll also be
working on the other sections during this time.)

 Friday, April 25th: I'll
merge everything together and send out another draft prior to our telecon.

Friday, May 9th: All the TC members
commit to doing a good read-through of the April 25th and send comments,
to be discussed during our telecon.

I'll try to get a near-final draft out
as soon as I can after that, so we can do one more iteration before June
1st.

I also saw from last time's minutes
that we decided to tighten up the Abstract Interfaces section and require
compliant services to send and receive data in the standard XML representations.
 I think that's a good idea, it'll definitely make the spec less vague.
 So I'll go ahead and implement that suggestion.
