Re: [emergency-msg] Draft agenda - next week RM face to face

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

Thanks Tim,

I have just added the phone info to the calendar 
items for the three f2f days so it can be found 
on the Kavi Calendar for the EM-Msg SC.

However, I don't have an accurate end time 
because I didn't see the minutes, tho I could 
easily have missed them. So I don't know what 
time we agreed to end our daily sessions. I 
expected we would have evening sessions for those 
who can return after dinner, but I left it at 
5pm. I would have suggested an evening session 
from 6 or 6:30 to 8;30 or 9pm.

I will dig into the agenda tomorrow morning, and 
post my thoughts, though I expect that I'll be 
agreeable. I don't have a problem with Excell for 
the Element Reference Table. As for the tool of 
choice for the Model, we can use ArgoUML as Tom 
suggested, which is free, though it doesn't 
output testable code as far as I know.

I would like to be able to have testable output, 
whatever tool we use, even if it has to be 
manually transliterated into another tool for 
that purpose if one of us can bring such a tool. 
I would like to have a set of valid java classes 
so we can be sure our schemas not only validate, 
but also serve as reasonable starting points for 
generating workable code. It isn't absolutely 
necessary, but since our work eventually must be 
capable of generating working code, we might as 
well be certain of it from the outset.

Cheers,
Rex
