0. Agenda bashing and Roll
        
1. Minutes Approval 

        - 08 May 2009:


        http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/opencsa-ms/download.php/32466/Open_CSA_SC_20090508_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.
           
            Keep on hold.

        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: Still open. Do we want to leave open or close?
       

        
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.        

        [A] http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/opencsa-liaison/200902/msg00003.html
        [B] http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/opencsa-liaison/200901/msg00013.html
        

        The following
represents the current state of each TC relative 
        to Public Reviews
       

        * = PR 04/24 -
06/23 

        SCA-Assembly TC
Specifications (V1.1)
           
    * SCA Assembly Model Specification

        SCA-Policy TC

        What is the outlook
for SCA-Binding, SCA-J CA&A and CI specs?
        Where do each
of these stand wrt Test Assertion and Test Case PR's?

        

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.

6. New Teleconference Passcode
        A new passcode
was required for this meeting due to 
        potential fraudulent
use of the teleconference number.
        We need to discuss
whether there are some other actions
        the Steering Committee
can take to minimize the exposure
        for this in the
future.          

7. Response to Microsoft SCA-Assembly Public Review
comment.
        SCA-Assembly responded
to Microsoft's review comments.

        Do we have consensus
on which of the following paths
        should be pursued
across the board (i.e. A or B)?
 
        A) SCA Compliant
extensions must be compliant with all of the
           following:
           
    a) SCA Assembly,
           
    b) SCA Policy,
           
    c) SCA Binding, and
           
    d) at least one of the SCA Implementation Types
           
        (currently Java, BPEL, C or C++ )

        B) SCA Compliant
extensions must be compliant with all of the
           following:
           
    a) SCA Assembly,
           
    b) SCA Policy and
           
    c) SCA Binding

8. Any Other Business?
