<scribe> scribe: dape

Koster: on Agenda is process check-list
... talk about servient to servient (with proxy)
... would like to start with review where we are
... what are we developing to help people be prepared
... we have questionnaires
... will turn into W3C forms
... want to collect information what is being implemented
... also, we have regular wiki collecting what people bring with them
... entry form from previous PlugFests could be re-used
... maybe add additional columns (if necessary)

Daniel: entry form == wiki page

Daniel: current PlugFest wiki misses entry form

Koster: Yes, need to add this
... any updates to this kind of wiki needed?

Daniel: Might want to think about splitting PlugFest information

Koster: create new page, yes
... move the table

<kaz> participation table for Burlingame

<kaz> Prague f2f wiki doesn't have that table

Matthias: fear duplicate information in several places

<kaz> preparation page for Prague

Koster: propose one location...
... moving to preparation page?

<kaz> +1

Matthias: yes

Koster: PRs for updates should work nicely

Matthias: Powerpoint is also fine.. easy to edit
... need to share information during PlugFest also

Koster: single Powerpoint for all participants ?
... living document during PlugFest
... Markdown seems easier .... line by line changes

Matthias: Need to take care to avoid duplication of information

Koster: might need to have slide-deck and Markdown?
... we have wiki, markdown, and ppt
... don't need table of participants on wiki
... will collect entries on markup via PR
... powerpoint for summary

Toru: have preparation.md already

Koster: yes, copy from previous PlugFest

Toru: could make PRs to that MD file

Kaz: Could use markdown table generator

<kaz> tables generator

Koster: Ok, looks good
... get started... please comment if there are suggestions
... next is what we did in Burlingame.... state machines, diagrams
... implementation guidance and scenarios
... for scenarios we look at discovery, proxy etc
... might we want to start writing test-cases?
... proxy has same system features as a servient
... write to down what we want to test

Kaz: agree
... btw, during the Burlingame PlugFest, there are various applications and devices generated by multiple participants as shown in the following diagram

Application, Remote Proxy, Local Proxy and Device in Burlingame

Various applications and devices connected via proxies in Burlingame PlugFest

Kaz: And most of those applications and devices were connected with Fujitsu's Remote/Local Proxies
... So I've started to think we could use Fujitsu's Remote/Local Proxies as the basic framework and concentrate on the interfaces, (1) the interface between Application Servients and Remote Proxy (green lines on the left side in the below diagram) and (2) another interface between Local Proxy and Device Servients (brown lines on the right side in the below diagram)

Application, Remote Proxy, Local Proxy and Device

Fujitsu's remote proxy and local proxy as a possible framework for various applications and devices

Koster: yes, enables transparent proxying
... need to provide implementation guidance
... proxy consumes device and expose them
... a) in the same fashion
... b) in a different way (other protocol)
... do we need to think about common TDs?
... is there a thing directory ?
... there are a lot of questions
... Fujitsu has a framework

Kaz: Matsukura-san said can provide them

Toru: what exactly?

Kaz: Local proxy and remote proxy as a packaged framework for PlugFest

Koster: shall we try to organize review
... what it does
... what can be used

Kaz: yes
... will ask Matsukura-san

Koster: <describes proxy lifecycle>
... special cases
... 3 directories (which could be connected)
... we start introducing lots of system variables
... what should be our next steps
... suggest to schedule review of Fujitsus framework
... also suggest different guidance documents for the different proxies cases

Kaz: will talk to Matsukura-san again... about concrete interface description

Koster: Maybe there are some simple tests we can run
... to ensure basic stuff works

Kaz: yes, this is important
... for CR we need test cases (besides spec itself)

Toru: we should also review what we did in Burlingame
... what could be the improvements

Kaz: Exactly

Koster: Let's put this on the agenda for next week
... feedback round during call
... will implement entry form
... get questionnaire made
