Implementation subgroup call Monday Nov. 24 10AM PACIFIC

[Diane Jordan <drj@us.ibm.com>]

The next call for the implementation subgroup is today,  Monday Nov. 24 at 
1PM Eastern/10AM Pacific.  Call in: 877-988-8393 int'l 203 566-8013 pc 
48486.

Topics for discussion are:
1.  Plans for the face to face:  Based on our last call, I've tweaked the 
description that we discussed sending to the TC with the wording from 
Jamie Clark.   If it looks ok to everyone, I will send it to the TC, 
"The implementation subgroup will be holding a showcase during the face to 
face meeting on Dec. 9-10.   Participation is open to all TC members. 
Exact time will be available when the agenda is finalized.  The intent of 
this showcase is to illustrate implementations of BPEL to exercise the 
spec and provide validation/expose problems in it to support the TC's 
work.  This is a set of informal trials for development purposes, and is 
not a conformance test, nor a complete test of spec functionality.  It 
does not necessarily use finalized elements of the TC's specification, 
which is still in development.  Members are encouraged to employ 
early-stage builds in order to test both the spec and their 
implementations.  There is no plan for a public announcement of the event 
or any results by the TC and members are requested not to issue a press 
release based on it.   Some further guidelines developed by the subgroup 
are: 
---- implementations will not become part of the BPEL specification.
---- it is a event for the TC.  Any member may participate or observe, 
others will not be invited. 
---- it is intended to be a work session and not a demo.  Implementations 
may not be complete, work may be required to complete scenarios, etc. 
---- to the extent possible, proposed scenarios for testing will to be 
shared ahead of time and there may be web based testing available.
---- it is intended as a friendly, collaborative event. 
---- implementation may be prototypes or proofs of concept.  They do not 
need to be products and there is no assumption that any will become 
products. 
---- implementations will be for the use of the TC for the above purpose, 
and there will be no licenses to use the implementations outside the TC or 
for any other purpose.
---- confidential information (eg, source code and other implementation 
details) should not be disclosed. " 

2.  Scenarios that Rania has sent. 
3.  Any updates on the subject of live endpoints for testing. 
Let me know if you have other topics.

Thanks.
