Subject: RE: [oasis-charter-discuss] Re: [members] Proposed Charter for OASIS Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA) TC


Hi fellow OASIS members and Jeff,

Thanks for your comments and suggestions to date regarding the proposed TOSCA TC. In response to the interest expressed in having more time before the first TC meeting to reflect upon the technical details of specification that we intend to propose as a foundational input document, we have posted the specification at www.tosca-open.org.

We intend to submit this document at the first meeting, on December 8th, and hope that providing the draft specification now will encourage participation in the TC.  Please review the documents and let us know if you have any questions.  We look forward to seeing you at the first meeting.

Best regards,
Paul Lipton

Thanks steve. We appreciate the effort.

Nevertheless until the foundational specification is released we don't  
understand how anyone can properly evaluate the TC and make the  
necessary IPR commitments. We look forward to being able to read the  
specification and will be happy to start our internal review and  
process for joining an OASIS TC, should we decide we wish to  
participate AFTER it is made available.

Just curious, how many weeks are going to give folks to digest the  
specification, which i would guess it going to be a significant piece  
of work, before you ask the TC to accept it?

cheers,
jeff
