AW: [opencsa-ms] Re: Organizing the Open Education Session for Day 1 of

Mike,

Regarding the presentation format, I think we should take into consideration the fact that the people who are showing up for the OASIS meeting are very likely to be already familiar with the basic concepts of SCA. As such, I think it would be a good idea for each topic to have 3 pieces:

- Description of the technology as of 1.0 (jumping as quickly into details as possible)

- Description of known problems that have not yet been solved

- Significant time for handling questions and comments

I would also consider keeping the overview section at the beginning very short – basically just clarifying the goals and non-goals of SCA as a whole.

BTW, I am also available for running presentations on just about any topic other than C++.

Hi Mike,

I'd be happy to help prepare material for the Java and Assembly sections. I'd be happy to help present on the Java parts and do demos for either Java and/or Assembly.

Folks,

As part of the OASIS SCA F2F meeting planned for Palo Alto in the week beginning 17th September,
Day 1 is planned to be an SCA education session, open to all.

I've agreed to help coordinate the education session and this note aims to start the process of building
an agenda for the education session and it is also a request for help from those folks who are experts
in one or more parts of SCA. We need to share out both the preparation of material and the presentation
of material on the day.

Here are my initial thoughts - comments and suggestions welcome, of course

1) Schedule for the day

I suggest 09:00 - 12:00 and 13:00 - 16:00 as the times for the education session.

This allows time for lunch and time at the end for discussions between attendees and presenters.

2) Topic areas

- SCA Overview (a general overview touching on everything that follows....)
- SCA Assembly model
- SCA Java (to include Spring and JEE)
- SCA BPEL
- SCA Policy Framework (to include Security, Reliable Messaging and Transactions)
- SCA Bindings (to include Web services, JMS, JCA)
- SCA C++
- SCA Work in Progress (?) to include COBOL, C, Pub/Sub,

I think that something like this ordering would be a good idea.

I'm looking for volunteers!
a) to prepare the materials
b) to give the presentations - I suggest no more than 2 people per topic

3) Format

I suggest that the core of the material will be slide presentations.

If we can fit them in, it would be nice to have some live demos of material closely related to the slides,
but that will also depend on whether we can fit them into the schedule.

The presentations will be posted onto the OASIS OpenCSA website after the session.

4) Possible Detailed Schedule

09:00 - 09:40 SCA Overview
09:40 - 10:30 SCA Assembly
10:30 - 10:45 Break
10:45 - 11:45 SCA Java
11:45 - 12:00 SCA BPEL

12:00 - 13:00 Lunch (a very important topic - not to be missed ;-)

13:00 - 13:45 SCA Policy Framework
13:45 - 14:45 SCA Bindings
14:45 - 15:00 Break
15:00 - 15:30 SCA C++
15:30 - 16:00 SCA Work in Progress

5) Presenters

I'm happy to do the SCA Overview or the SCA Assembly topics.
Offers for the various slots welcome.

Yours, Mike.
