Fw: [oasis-charter-discuss] Comment: Proposed Charter for OASIS ServiceComponent Architecture Assembly (SCA-Assembly) TC

[Brent Miller <bamiller@us.ibm.com>]

SDD TC,

For your information, I posted the following
comment regarding the Subject proposed charter (the request for comments
was sent to all OASIS members by Mary McRae on 06/29). Any member may submit
comments (until 11:45 p.m. US Eastern Time tonight). My comment is informational
(not logging an issue) and is intended to promote synergy across OASIS
TCs.

I note that there is some company membership
overlap between the SDD TC and the proposed SCA-Assembly TC (including
at least IBM, SAP and Sun), so others might want to contact their company's
SCA-Assembly representatives to ensure awareness of SDD.

Thanks.

Regards,
Brent

Subject	[oasis-charter-discuss] Comment: Proposed Charter for OASIS Service Component Architecture Assembly (SCA-Assembly) TC

Regarding the proposed SCA-Assembly TC charter item #14:

14. Packaging and deployment of SCA related artifacts, including the relationship
to a runtime and characteristics of the runtime are part of the specification.
   
SCA Artifact resolution, plus the use of existing non-SCA mechanisms. SCA
Contributions and their metadata.  SCA packaging format.

This seems to relate to the OASIS Solution Deployment Descriptor (SDD)
TC, which specifies metadata for software packaging and deployment (see
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=sdd ). As the
chair of the OASIS SDD TC, I encourage the SCA-Assembly group to investigate
SDD as one way that item #14 of the proposed charter might be satisfied.
The SDD TC would be willing to work with the SCA-Assembly TC, once formed,
in this regard. 

Thank you. 

Regards,
Brent
