2. TC and SC updates

 

   TC Pacific call:
    - Issues have all been categorized as either needing to be fixed for 1.0 or not.
    - Tim delivering presentation in Bangkok
    - Decided for Stephen to send Tim change log and ss andTim send to Anne when done.

 

    Anne:
    - need some type of source control for the next release.
    - put ss in xml format as intermediate format for working with?

 

    Tony's other suggestions
    - Subversion (like CVS; open source) Tigres
    - Tortoise cvs
    - cvs is common denominator, but not as easy to work with

 

    Stephen
    - in a schema-driven instance that is always known
    - can do xsl manipulation then withiout changing the underlying content
    - can possibly get this from EDIFIX
    - need to preserve 1.0 release for many years (possibly up to 20)

 

3. Schema generation

 

   - Update on changes

 

     We have a preliminary set of changes for David.  Stephen will make these
     more clear today and send to Michael and Sylvia, who will talk to David.
     Michael is on vacation until 1 August.  Stephen estimated that there are
     about 25 issues.

 

   - Outstanding issues

 

   - Schedule between now and Copenhagen

 

     Stephen has sent to Tim the change log and spreadsheets.
     Stephen send 'List of Agreed Changes' to Sylvia and Michael today.
     This will contain as clear as possible list of the change that David
     needs to make for the fixes related to spreadsheet changes.  However,
     for changes that are fixes to EDIFIX, that will be up to David to
     figure out how to fix.

 

     SS still need QAing and Michael would like this done before making changes.
     Tim will QA SS on Monday 26 July.

 

     Wednesday finish up open items discussion at TC call 28 July.
     ** Need to do final review in this meeting what Stephen sent to David. **
     Get any feedback from David.

Schedule / Reports

 

The schedule leading up to the final work on UBL 1.0 was the main subject of the report from the
TC, HISC and previous SSC meetings.

 

The aim to finalize the package contents by 4th August was emphasized

 

Sylvia will speak with David of EF in the morning Berlin time about the Schemas and if David
needs any clarification of the Schema change requirements he will e-mail Stephen.

 

We hope to try to have Schemas around 1st or 2nd August.

 

Paul will then hope to be able to produce ASN.1 within the following day or two
of receiving the Schemas.

 

Tim will QA the spreadsheets Monday in time for distribution Tuesday and acceptance (hopefully)
Wednesday.

 

No reports from LocalizationSCs

 

Nothing to report from marketing working group

 

The prime efforts could focus on delivering the package on target and the focus next
week might include translation work too

 

The call was adjourned at 00h25 UTC
