Update on F2F outcomes...

[Matthew MacKenzie <mattm@adobe.com>]

Folks,

First off, this has been perhaps the most productive TC meeting that  
I have ever witnessed in the hand full of years I have been working  
within OASIS.  Thanks to everyone for working in a cooperative and  
collegial fashion to work toward our mutual goals.

I'll go in point form from here on out...there is a lot to say.

1. All issues on 07 are CLOSED.  Yay.

2. Our issues list format is unwieldy.  Peter Brown developed &  
presented a much better alternative and will follow up with Don.

3. A very effective triage and ranking process was undertaken to  
prioritize our "big" issues.  The resultant conversations helped us  
to all get on the same page, and drop a lot of things from  
consideration for the RM, and were dropped down to the RA parking lot.

4. As a result of (3), we came up with a new, rough TOC. See: http:// 
www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/soa-rm/download.php/13741/New% 
20SOARM%20TOC.doc

5. We decided to tighten up the editing team a little bit, since  
there is less to do now, and we noticed that some editors had  
relatively small sections that could easily be covered by one of the  
core editors.  The editing team is: Matt, Peter, Rebekah, Ken and  
Frank.  Other editors, please don't take this personally.  You all  
did a great job.  This restructuring makes sense now that we have  
tightened our scope quite a bit, and we hope that you guys will be  
able to help us on the RA and proofreading tasks.

6.  We don't want to waste TC cycles on grammar, spelling and obvious  
consistency issues, so now we have a formal proofreading team: Al,  
Peter, Prasanta and Michael.  Editors will seed this team with  
advance copies of editor drafts for proofreading.  Other members are  
welcome to join this effort, but be aware: The editing team expects  
turn-around within a couple of days.  This is a serious and important  
job!

7.  We wish to hold an editors meeting within the next 4 weeks.   
Possibly at Adobe San Jose, or Fujitsu.

8. Prasanta has offered to be caretaker of the RA parking lot, which  
involves keeping materials and information that we think will live in  
the RA well organized and in context so we can switch to RA  
development easily when we have the RM far enough along.

So this is everything I can remember.  If anyone has anything to add,  
please reply to this.  Questions are, of course, also welcome.

Best Regards,

Matt
