Re: [cmis] 9 July TC meeting canceled; Final review

To all:

At this final stage of v1.1 development, it is important that we make a conscious effort to assure the quality and workability of the draft before we take it through the OASIS approval process. I am glad Adam's team is making an effort to review the draft. I understand many of you are anxious to get v1.1 out quickly. To avoid any further delay, I am asking the following:

(1) Anyone who feels strongly that we should start the approval process as soon as we incorporated all the latest fixes (instead of waiting till mid August) should let us know now.

(2) Anyone who needed even more time (than mid August) to review the draft should also make a request now. We want to avoid successive requests.

If we do not hear from either, we shall aim to start the approval process in mid August as requested by Adam (or sooner if Adam's team can do it quicker). This means that we should have all the review comments in by early August. This schedule is dependent on the availability of our Editors and also on the availability of a majority of our voting members to vote electronically in August. Comments?

Thank you for your cooperation and patience.

Best regards,

David

David and rest of committee -

I'm finding it a little difficult with summer schedules and holidays to be able to get the right read throughs and approvals from my end for the 1.1 draft.

Would it be possible to have a bit more time, tangibly having the ballot vote in mid-August? I would love to make sure the right people at my organization have a chance to read through.

I'm eager to get the 1.1 process started and if there are repercussions associated with waiting until August, I can go back to my organization and see what kind of progress I can make - but wanted to check in with others to see if summer holidays was causing similar schedule problems.

Thanks,
Adam

Subject: [cmis] 9 July TC meeting canceled; Final review

To all:

We do not have any agenda item for next Monday. The meeting is canceled.

However, Florian has posted Working Draft 05 a few days ago. It included the latest fixes (thanks to Andy's review) and a list of v1.1 participants (Appendix C). Given the various deficiencies that Andy has discovered at this late stage, I urge each of you once more to review the spec and the schema, perhaps the parts that you have not combed through before. Please also check your entry in the participants list for accuracy. Florian plans to put out the Final Draft next week, and we shall begin the lengthy approval process shortly. Any fix we found we have to make afterwards would force us to restart the entire process. So, a little extra effort at this final stage could avoid extended delays. Thank you again for your help.

Best regards,

David
