Interop working group call

As discussed on today’s call we need to quickly convene a working group call to iron out a new scenario for the interop. I propose we do this at 10am central Wednesday 5/21. I know there is no way this time is going to work for everyone; we need Glenn, Sam and those committee members that want to help drive this re-work. Take a cold hard look at your calendars and let me know if this will work.

As a pre-curser to this call I have an idea. In the real world, an SPML compliant PSFT would not operate as a full PSP (doing service/rules/role based provisioning out to digital and no-digital resources). It would likely send its SPML event to a PSP for onward processing and all that jazz. Because we have many different vendors and applications participating in this event, it arguably does not make sense for the PSFT implementation to be responsible for managing the host of asynchronous events needed for the interop.

It might make sense for Mycroft to be the (for want of a better term) “fan out module” that takes this single event and propagates it to all the PSP/PST’s at the event. In effect Mycroft would be developing a limited functionality PSP that would be vendor/product/solution independent. This module would serve as an SPML multiplexer, supplying the glue to make the scenario work.

Something along these lines would allow us to show a scenario that includes PSFT, Mycroft and the current list of PSP/PST vendors to be shown all working together.

Food for thought – let me know about Wednesday.

Thanks
