0. Agenda bashing and Roll
        
1. Minutes Approval 

        -
13 March 2009:         http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/opencsa-ms/download.php/31656/Open_CSA_SC_20090313_Draft.txt
         
      
2. Open Action Item Review and Discussion

        AI20081212-001
- Coordinate an effort with Assembly TC to produce an 
         
      SCA primer as the specs approach standardization
(in review).

         
      STATUS: On Hold until we get closer to standardization.


        AI20090313-001
Jeff to send the following recommendation to 
         
      the TC's.

         
      Recommendation:
         
      Steering Committee Recommends inclusion of
the 
         
      completed test suite with the main package
for 
         
      the initial CS vote. 

         
      STATUS:         

        
        AI20090313-002
- Jeff to talk with mary to make 
         
      the request to group SCA PR announcements.

         
      STATUS: COMPLETE - Should now be closed.
         
      Jeff send the following e-mail to Mary on
March 13, 2009. 
         
      http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/opencsa-ms/email/archives/200903/msg00005.html
         
      Subsequent communications with Mary were done
         
      to inform her that Assembly and Policy specs
should go 
         
      first.  Any others that are ready at
the same time should
         
      also go, but Assembly nor Policy should be
held up waiting
         
      for another TC.  
        
3. Overall TC Milestones Status as discussed
by LSC:
        Tentative
dates for key milestones: 

        On
Feb 5, 2009 conf-call [A], the LSC discussed the following as the 
        new
anticipated schedule for the OpenCSA TCs: 

         
 End Feb – Assembly and Policy TC to start 1st Public Review (60
day)
         
 Mid March – Other TCs to start 1st Public Review (60 day)
         
 End June – Finish all the work
         
 End July – Submit specs to OASIS for OS vote 

        ASSEMBLY
ONLY (now about a month behind schedule on testing work
         
             resulting in the
following [B]) 
         
 End Feb Test Assertion complete
         
 End March Test Case complete
         
 Mid April for Assembly TC only
         
 End June - 1st Public Review complete
        
        Recommendation
that all other TC's set a similar schedule for
        for
about one month later.

4. Compliant implementation plans  
     
        We
know that we need something about mid year.  There are
        several
companies working this but implementation timing is 
        unknown.
 Open Source (Apache Tuscany, looks to be one
        source
for at least some of the TC's.  Fabric3 may be another).  
        Each
TC will have to make it's own decision on what compliant 
        implementations
they are going to use based on what's available 
        in
the         timeframe of standardization and
what their test plan 
        looks
like.

        The
SC must eventually resolve the question of "how it will
        make
approval decisions" and communicate this to the TC's. 
        It
is expected that the Testing Plans for each TC will 
        incorporate
implementation/testing aspects which encompass
        the
broader "SCA" picture.

        We
must address the following core questions:
         
Are we all in agreement that the exit criteria in each 
         
charter applies to Member Submission for vote and not 
         
for Committee Specification approval?

         
At this stage, what (if any) compliant applications 
         
are the likely candidates which the SC will likely 
         
generally accept?

        If
there are no updates, then continue to hold on agenda for
        discussion
at the next meeting.

5. Any Other Business?
        
6. Future SC Agenda Topics?    
    
        
7. Next Meeting 
           -
The next regular teleconference is scheduled for May 8th, 2009 
         
      9:00am PST, 12:00pm EST, 5:00pm UK

        (OpenCSA
Steering Committee calls are scheduled for the second Friday 
         
      of each month.)
