Hi Folks, Just a reminder that we have another meeting this week. We have had some shifts in daylight savings so please double check you calendar invitations for the correct time. A reminder that attendance at this meeting is mandatory (for at leas one member from each organization). A rough agenda includes: - Status update from all participants - Review meeting time & schedule - Test scope including client/server mismatches and reconfiguration - Implementation naming By now, all clients and servers should completed connectivity testing as we are midway through the week (depending on timezone). Unfortunately though I am getting some sporadic status updates indicating that servers have still not issued credentials and that some tests are still outstanding. Please be aware that any implementation that does not achieve connectivity suitable for a KMIP transaction with every other implementation (each client with all servers, and each server with all clients) will be disqualified from  further participation. For any participant only running a single implementation, this will mean disqualification from the remainder of the event (including the booth). I cannot stress enough how important it is to complete this connectivity test in the time allotted in the process, as we do not want to see any disqualifications here. Please remember that the technical bar is set very low here - run a single TTLV operation between each implementation and you're good to go. The same low bar is set for the interop test next week - a single TTLV test case (most folks agree the Tape Library Profile test cases are very simple) will ensure you meet the technical requirements. You should also be well on the way to having a complete set of test sheets to run with. Whilst we haven't hit the deadline for distribution of these yet, we don't want these left to the last minute. Please remember that distribution of your test sheets is a criteria for successfully completing the Connectivity Test. As always please contact me directly if you have any questions or concerns - don't leave it to the last minute! Thanks folks. -- 2017-02-24T20:38:00Z 1 19 191 1 1 209 14.00 X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Tony Cox VP Partners, Alliances & Standards Cryptsoft P:   +61 7 3103 0321, US:   +1 (650) 918 4307 tony.cox@cryptsoft.com
