At the recent SCA J TC f2f meeting [1] in Palo Alto, the TC discussed the schedule for completion of its work. In order to get to its goal of delivering the final specifications, it set the deadline of 15th Sep 2008 for raising new issues for any of the four specifications (Spring, binding.ejb, JavaCAA and Java C&I) that it is working on. Starting 16th sep 2008, a higher bar will be used to open new issues. Specifically, the higher bar used will be same as the one used for reopening a resolved issue. I.e., 2/3rd majority of all voting members. This was done to spur TC members who may have issues but haven't gotten around to raising them to do so. The SCA-J TC chairs were also instructed to work forward from the 15 sep 2008 date to create a detailed schedule. As a member of the SCA-J TC I took an AI to raise the schedule issue with the liaison subcommittee. SCA-J TC has dependencies on the assembly and policy spec. Similarly, other TCs (bindings, bpel, c) also have such dependencies. It seems like a good topic for the liaison committee to discuss and provide a much needed cross-TC coordination and schedule. This would allow the SCA-J TC to create a realistic schedule. I would therefore like to request the chairs to include this item on the next subcommittee call agenda (email response, as always, are most welcome).
