(c) better advertisement of the "feedback process" on our page

Jacques made modifications to the page; it's online for review: https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=ws-brsp#feedback

The feedback process changed a little bit as posted on the page.

Gershon moved to approve the change; Micah seconded. Motion passed.

2. Specification drafts: Review the 3 initial drafts (of BP1.2, BP2.0, RSP 1.0)

See: https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ws-brsp/email/archives/201301/msg00013.html

Drafts are uploaded in our Kavi space (e.g. BP1.2: https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/ws-brsp/document.php?document_id=47973 ).

What remains to be done (test assertions XML files, BSP11).

Goal is to have a CSD for approval before our next meeting. We do need to add the conformance clauses (par 2.4)

The conversion of documents worked out pretty well; most of formatting was retained during the process.

BSP1.1 does not have test assertions like the other profiles.

3. Test tools code management

See the "outsourcing option" outlined in Jacques' email 2/21: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ws-brsp/201302/msg00002.html

Elements to discuss:

- the test tools code may be donated by original contributing companies to a 3rd party project/hosting (e.g. GitHub), independently from OASIS, and licensed accordingly. 

- BRSP TC is focusing primarily on the specs and their progression, 

- the TC will make statements about how to test the profiles it produces and "recommend" the appropriate version of the -externally hosted- test tools. 

Discussed was:

- Everybody should be able to contribute, and we could expect this to happen.

- TC won't own the tools; TC owns the profiles.

- To donate the tools, original contributing companies need to sign off on actually wanting to do this.

- Various types of code: analyzer, logger, http-trace in languages C#, Java, Python, mostly contributed by Microsoft, IBM and Futjitsu

- Licensing for contributions need to be determined

- We are not asking people to upload code, but permission to upload the already available code

- It was suggested to use github and license under Apache v2.0

- In previous discussions it was mentioned to not go for Open Source, but just freely available

4. Request from Europe on test tooling

See: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ws-brsp/201303/msg00008.html

- User wanting the source to intergrate in tooling.

- Comments on the proposal are very welcome; outline is there; details need to be nailed down

5.  Adjourn

Next meeting: options to be discussed on the list.
