Potential 2013 Q1 AMQP / AMQP-BINDMAP TC F2F Meeting

["Godfrey, Robert X" <robert.godfrey@jpmorgan.com>]

All,

In the AMQP Member Section we have been discussing the potential to hold a face-to-face meeting to make progress on our technical deliverables in both the AMQP and AMQP-BINDMAP TCs, given the large overlap between the two technical Committees it would seem to make sense to hold any such face to face jointly (though be aware that to make technical contributions one *MUST* be a member of the appropriate TC).

Scope:

In terms of potential topics I can see the following (though others should feel free to add)

AMQP-BINDMAP:

* JMS Mapping
* SOAP Mapping
* WebSockets Binding
* SCTP Binding

* Potential ways forward for mappings to languages where there is no established APIs

AMQP (core):

* Addressing
* Alternative authentication / authorization mechanisms (e.g. OAUTH)
* Monitoring and Management / Node types
* Distributed Transactions
* Conformance testing approaches
* Interop / connect-a-thon testing


Out of scope would be member section issues such as community engagement, marketing, etc.  It is planned to hold a separate Member Section face to face.

Location:

The last technical workshop (in May of this year) was held in the UK, and prior to our joining OASIS, the previous two technical F2Fs were also held in Europe.  As such it is probably appropriate that we look to hold the next meeting in North America to allow those who could not make it over to the last gatherings to attend this time. (Strictly speaking it is probably the turn of the West Coast to host).

Date:

I have created a doodle poll so that interested parties can indicate which dates they might be able to attend such an event, covering all the weeks in February/March except w/b 25 February (when ApacheCon US is being held) and w/b Mar 4th (when QCon London is being held) since I believe a number of key TC members are looking to attend one or both of these conferences. Please let me know if there are any other clashing events that we should be aware of.

Please add comments to the poll if your attendance would be conditional on a particular location.


Thanks,
Rob
