5.       Issues

a.      Use of Schematron in SCA Specifications

Correction from original agenda notice:  Danny had been contacted and 
in fact produced the message referred to below, which Mike forwarded. 
In any event, the ball is in the BPEL TC's  court. Aside from 
encouraging them to do a POC, the LSC will take no further action on 
this item.
As an fyi, Mike Edwards sent a an example of the use in a message 
dated July 09, 2008 1:58:33 AM PDT:
  
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/opencsa-liaison/email/archives/200807/msg00001.html

I don't think there is any more discussion required in the forum, but 
just in case I note it here.

There was agreement that this will drop off the agenda until and if 
the BPEL TC has a concrete proposal to make.


b.      Getting schema document associated with a particular version of the 
spec

       
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/opencsa-liaison/200805/msg00017.html
        Discussion on 5/16 con-call: see above draft minutes
        continuation of discussion dependent on Anish providing a 
sample RDDL to serve as a basis for discussion.
        Anish was not able to produce the sample, so discussion was 
postponed pending that item. If sample is sent in by Anish by COB 
friday, we may discuss this if folks wish to.

Anish sent out a doc earlier today. He gave a brief walk through.
  
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/opencsa-liaison/email/archives/200807/msg00014.html

If you de reference the namespace, you get the RDDL document. It 
contains all the resources that are needed. (You could of course get 
to previous versions via the spec docs itself.)

We will discuss this, in the context of a concrete proposal i hope, at 
the next call.

Sanjay: what question are we adding?
anish: idea of having RDDL doc which represents the namespace. The 
current structure only has the latest set of docs that use that ns, 
which isn't quite correct. This provides all the versions of the 
schema that use the same namespace plus a reference to the current 
spec doc. W3C TAG provided some guidance on what a RDDL doc should 
contain. Ashok thinks this is ok, but will check.

Sanjay asks are we signing up to maintain "forever" and is this 
burdensome. Anish thinks this is ok. The real issue is do we want to 
point to "everything"? TB continued next week to address and specify 
the rules for "maintenance".

Martin to consider bringing up this issue at the OASIS TAB meeting 
next week.


6. OpenCSA Project Management

     At its last meeting the OpenCSA Steering Committee decided to ask 
the LSC to start discussing a mechanism for getting status and doing 
project management to get to a coordinated release of the first 
official OASIS CS (and then OASIS standard) release. Jeff had the AI 
to put this topic on the LSC agenda.
     Coincidentally the topic was brought up in several of the TC's in 
the last few weeks, see e.g. from Anish:
  
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/opencsa-liaison/email/archives/200807/msg00009.html
       also with the notion of getting the discussion going in this 
forum.

There was general discussion of topic. No concrete conclusions, or 
specific proposals at this time, as this was the first opportunity to 
start the conversation.

2 threads: developing a status report for TC chairs, which provides 
status relative to deliverables and schedule/major milestones
            the obvious pre-requisite for the above - developing such 
a schedule
Schedule -
   The obvious OASIS major milestone is the 60 day public review, 
followed optionally by as many 15-day minimum reviews as needed until 
we get to a quality level (needs to be stated and agreed) that 
satisfies us to call for a CS vote. We have to decide how testing fits 
in, i.e. how much testing should be done before the major 60 day 
public review. Assuming at least one additional review that's a 
minimum of 3 months dealing with public reviews and their specific 
issue resolutions, so we probably don't want to wait "too long" before 
starting the review, and continue debugging/fixing while the 60 day 
review is going on  -- but we also want to have a reasonably high 
level of stability/confidence before the public review (i.e. having 
caught and fixed the major things first) so the review doesn't 
substitute for doing development. If the review generates "too many" 
issues, then dealing with their resolution (which we have to do) will 
become much more heavy weight then having discovered/fixed those 
issues before the review.
   A WAG of mid-2009 (for which i will arbitrarily pick July 4) was 
thrown out as an initial target.
   So AI's are for chairs to work backwards from that, and think about 
the implications for their TCs. Is that doable? What sorts of 
intermediate milestones would have to be defined to meet that date, 
etc., etc. The other major AI is to figure out how to get serious 
about testing, first when will be ready to start, and then what needs 
to happen?

This will become a major topic for the LSC for the next several weeks 
until we get a handle and a plan agreed to.


7.      Next Call Schedule

     The SCA/J TC has requested that we swap meeting times to 
Thursdays 10 AM Pacific starting the week of 04 Aug 2008. The 
discussion on the LSC list was positive, so we should formally decide 
to do this (or not).

APPROVE changing the LSC meeting time starting week of aug 4 so next 
LSC call will be thursday 7 aug 10:00 am PDT - Martin/Mike - UNAN

    (Ashok has a conflict at that time, but Dave Booz can represent 
Policy and Ashok will prioritize and participate on important issues.)

Sanjay will chair the next few meetings. (We can continue to use the 
same call in, or Sanjay can provide his own -- please see the next 
draft agenda which sanjay will send out.)

   Future agenda item for next call:

7 aug 2008 - 10:00 am PDT
Delivery Plans (highest priority)
Schema/RDDL doc proposal


8.      AOB

none
