Agenda
1. What
needs to happen to consolidate group efforts
2. Use
Cases
1.
Consolidated Efforts
A review of the current TC structure
was completed at the New Orleans session and in the effort to simplify and
eliminate confusion about elemental management vs. interrelationship and
configuration management to process management; there was a proposal that the
TCs be restructured. This would take the elemental approach of the TCs such as
Framework, Application/Services, Server and Network and would replace them with
a TC entitled configuration management.
Prior to New Orleans, the
apps/services
TC was completing work that was dependent on the DCML Framework with some
efforts focused on mapping services and the rest of the effort on configuration
use cases. The Framework TC was reviewing use cases as well and there was
consensus that the activities to date would be complimentary towards the
movement to the configuration management TC. A draft version of the consolidated
charter is currently in review and will be submitted to the TC participants for
comment.
2. Use
Cases:
A
discussion of the contributed use cases currently attached to the Framework
Specification as well as additional use cases that are needed encompassed most
of the discussion. Below is a summary of the discussion and actions resulting
