Subject: RE: [Non-DoD Source] Re: [cti] MVP Discussion


I might have just missed this, but has there been any motion forward on external access or archiving of Slack content for OASIS?

I recall when Slack was first being discussed two possibilities that were raised were having an external tool harvest it for or the various subcommittee chairs posting a rollup of it once a week.  That way non-subcommittee members could review the logic that was used to reach the current state of the art.  Have any of these efforts gone into effect, if so where can they be accessed from?

Subject: [Non-DoD Source] Re: [cti] MVP Discussion

All, 

Bret and I talked about what sort of information he'd be looking to collect. Something along the lines of... 

Option 1:  Yes, No, Maybe, Abstain, 2.0, 2.1, 2.x, Never Option 2:  Yes, No, Maybe, Abstain, 2.0, 2.1, 2.x, Never ...

It is indeed difficult to see how that could be done with the OASIS ballot facility. My two concerns are (a) that whatever ballot mode is used must be available to all members and (b) that there must be some way to ensure the results of such a ballot are available for the long haul in the TC's archives. 

I doubt that anyone would be blocked from using SM so no problem there. So I'm ok with doing it this way: 

- Bret (or whoever) posts an email to the TC mailing list pointing to the survey and giving an end date when it will be closed. 
- When the survey is closed, the detailed results are downloaded and loaded to the TC's or Subcommittee's document repository. The email that is generated when a document is loaded can be annotated to state that these are the results of the survey mentioned over there. 

That way, 3 or 4 years from now, if someone asks 'how did you come up with that list' there is an audit trail to point to. 

We also discussed an approach to making the issues being debated in Slack easier for those outside the discussion group to track. More to follow on that but one key thing I suggested was a disciplined use of an issue tracking system. While we are in discussions to migrate the existing open source projects to OASIS, I told Bret that you should all feel free to request that we start projects for you now if it would be useful (and not redundant I suppose). The steps for doing that are explained in https://www.oasis-open.org/resources/open-repositories/faq 

Best,

	Hi Chet,

	 

	The ballot/vote Bret mentioned is informal (and non-binding) – to get a pulse on the community for what should be in the minimally viable product (MVP).

	 

	My assumption is that once we come up with a definitive list of what should be in the MVP, then an official OASIS vote would be scheduled.

	Hi Bret - just noted "...voting needs to be moved to a SurveyMonkey" - I am not sure what you'd want on SM that can't be done on the TC's balloting UI. Happy to see how to configure it to make it work. Please note though that TC ballots - especially one as crucial as this - must be done on the OASIS platform. 

	 

	Thanks,

		All,

		 

		I have a few concerns with the current MVP items as discussed on the call today

		 

		1) We need a statistically significant number of people to vote, before we can decide if it is in or out.

		 

		2) I feel that some of the items in the list are not well understood, and thus we got mixed voting.

		 

		3) I think this voting needs to be moved to a SurveyMonkey and we need to add the options of "abstain" and "I do not know what this means".    

		 

		4) Things that have 100% votes, should be in, and we should do those first.  

		 

		5) If the feature is not used in mass today, then it probably does not warrant being an MVP item.  Not used == not used.  I am sure between Soltra and EclecticIQ they can give us some great metrics. 

		 

		6) The current list represents a LOT of stuff.  Keep in mind that it may take groups 2-5 years to full support everything in that list.  That means in the mean time you will have a lot of products that are NOT compatible with each other.  Can you imaging the conformance issues that this will cause?  Keep in mind that even Soltra Edge does not fully support STIX 1.2 and how long ago did that come out.

		 

		7) If the 2.0 MVP does not have everything that a group needs, say the USG.  Then they can keep using STIX 1.2 until such a time that the 2.x tree does have what they need. I do not believe any of us are saying that people need to switch from STIX 1.2 to STIX 2.0 on day one.  

		 

		8) For orgs that are currently using STIX 1.2.  You will probably not want to switch to the 2.x family until about 2.2 or 2.3, would be my finger to the wind guess.

		 

		9) For orgs that are not yet doing anything with STIX yet, what is the bare minimum that you need to make a solution work.  

		 

		10) Things we do not understand well or that are not really used should be pushed to a 2.x release.  

		 

		Thanks,

		 

		Bret
