The idea of the technical workshop is to enable those who care about (or have their own reasons to want to progress) a given topic, to meet with the other in the group who care/need to work on the same area. DTX is a good example where there are perhaps three or four people who, if given a day to discuss it in the same room, will be able to get the bulk of the work complete. Clearly there’s absolutely no reason why people who don’t care / don’t need to care about a given topic would join in that particular conversation. Obviously not everyone is going to have the same priorities, but if people think that the most important thing to work on is X then they should be volunteering to lead the effort on X and persuading others to join them in the effort. In general it’s always been quite unproductive to collectively say “doing Y is the most important thing... somebody (else) should be working on Y”. I think we all probably broadly agree on the top priorities for AMQP 1-0, but that doesn’t mean that people should be stopped from working on areas that are important for *them* if the alternative is those people doing nothing. Hopefully the workshop can also help us work out how we can be focusing the time that we do have to work on broader adoption goals to best utilize the time and resources available to us. -- Rob From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alexis Richardson Sent: Monday, March 12, 2012 9:04 AM To: John O'Hara Cc: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; angus telfer Subject: Re: [amqp] [Reminder] Proposed AMQP Technical Workshop As I mentioned earlier, DTX is something that can and should be handled by 1-2 specialists. David's got longstanding experience of this pattern, as have some others on here. If those people are willing and able to bring this to completion, so much the better. I just don't think DTX is what the world has been waiting for, in an open, interoperable, business messaging spec. The initial users of AMQP 1.0 will have broader concerns, and those should guide how resources are focussed.

Is David on this discussion? Cheers, John
