Quick updates

McCool: Quick Updates
... feedback till 24th
... PR transition June 11
... REC July 16
... we have to do resolution "as a existing group" for PR transition

Sebastian: Q: Shall we update Tag branch?
... updates in TD
... Tag would have latest state

McCool: Suggest keep branch as is.. but create diff and post link to it in issue (mentioning changes)

Lagally: We discussed this in Arch call as well
... decided that we put the updates in the tag branch

McCool: Suggest to report changes in issue tracker
... w.r.t. schedule.. we should aim earlier as the afore mentioned dates
... Workshop call this monday
... do we want to schedule F2F before/after workshop
... Siemens is not able to host this F2F

Sebastian: Siemens can offer on Friday (before workshop) test demos et cetera
... such a demo meeting is possible
... meeting during the weekend is not possible
... Ege mentioned F2F option at the technical university of Munich
... other options? Matthias (Huawei), Lagally (Oracle)

Ege: need to get permission. booking system is available already
... need to check official process

McCool: F2F or PlugFest?
... rather F2F
... Friday option at Siemens side (demo or also PlugFest)

Sebastian: Up to us

McCool: PlugFest at Siemens on Friday
... regular meeting at TUM
... Ege, can you look into space for 30 people

Kaz: 31st May (Friday), there will be a Member meeting in Japan
... F2F "after" workshop might be better

Lagally: Input from workshop -> better having F2F after workshop

McCool: F2F June 6

Ege: one day meeting room for 30 people

McCool: 2 days ?

Kaz: Possible. But wrapping up should be doable in 1 day
... would be ideal to have re-chartering discussions in April/May before the workshop

Lagally: PR transition, June11
... could be topic for 2nd day

Kaz: w.r.t. spec documents, cannot add essential changes

McCool: finalize testing?
... Let's see if we can get room for 2 days

Ege: 6-7 June (Th-Fr)

Kaz: All Japanese member companies will not be there on Friday

McCool: lets go ahead with 2 day F2F and see if we cut it later
... Call after this about demo.

Sebastian: Still miss activity for readme file ML setup
... please add information

<Sebastian> https://github.com/w3c/wot/tree/master/workshop/ws2/demos-2019-Munich

McCool: bring at least stuff I had at TPAC

Kaz: Sebastian, can we get information about hotels nearby

Sebastian: I see

<kaz> Workshop page

Lagally: FYI: Siemens and TUM are a bit out of town

Sebastian: will forward the hotel request to organization team

Recharter

McCool: New chairs selection
... some people showed interest

Kaz: usually W3C groups have 1-2 chairs
... sometimes 3 chairs
... should clarify role of each chair. tech/management, one from each industry, one from each area, etc.

McCool: no process needed if we don't have enough interested people
... 2-3 chairs
... other question is about IG and WG
... suggest having one set of chairs for both groups

Sebastian: we started with 3 chairs because of Asia, Europe, US
... suggest to do the same

McCool: Suggest start looking at possible candidates
... people can self nominate
... if interested send email at team-wot

Kaz: makes sense

McCool: IF we have more than 3 we need to start election process

TPAC f2f update

Kaz: TPAC F2F planning
... planner team asked for information
... responded Thursday-Friday for 50 people
... no dedicated room for weekend right before TPAC (demo prep)

McCool: Is there university or member company close?

Kaz: There is some possible candidates in Fukuoka, but we need to look into them.

McCool: Tuesday: should be able to check network and such

Kaz: will check... expect good situation as in Sapporo

TF updates

* Scripting

<zkis> https://zolkis.github.io/wot-scripting-api/#the-consumedthing-interface

Zoltan: Consumed Thing interface takes options
... in nearly every method...
... essentially about uriVariables only
... tend to remove it and handle it in binding

McCool: optional?

Zoltan: using it.. expectation is to use that information

McCool: uriVariables is just one way..
... technically is about communicate variables

<zkis> https://github.com/w3c/wot-thing-description/issues/569

Zoltan: Question, can we remove it

Sebastian: no time to look into that
... clarification needed?

Zoltan: encapsulate

Daniel: agree that uriVariables should not be visible on scripting API level
... scripts should just tell parameters

McCool: one conflict I see is collision with p in body and uriVariables

Zoltan: not good design in the first place

McCool: Koster, any opinion?

Koster: we don't want the spec to distinguish whether parameters are part of uriVariables or body
... name collision would be bad design
... prefer removing options

Zoltan: Question: can we have same name for action and property?

McCool: Yes, we can have that

Zoltan: outstanding PR.. being reviewed
... paper abstract was submitted to the workshop
... 23rd for presentation also?

McCool: Think the deadline is for papers only

Sebastian: do not need slides.. we would like to see some notes/abstract

Zoltan: Templates?

Kaz: will provide link to example papers from the previous WoT workshop (see below)

<kaz> examples

* TD

<kaz> TD minutes (member-only)

Sebastian: Overview about changes (no simple vs full)
... one format with possible omitted terms
... new section talking about protocol handling
... please check this new section

McCool: significant change to tag version?

Sebastian: Correct

<kaz> section "7. Behavioral Assertions"

Taki: We made clarification on issue 357

<kaz> section "6. Thing Description Serialization"

McCool: propose to say "document has changed"

Taki: will do so

Sebastian: clarification about mediaTypes and namespace
... do we have mediaType or not
... Kaz is organizing meeting with Ralph and PHL

Kaz: I expect TAG review feedback about these points also

* WoT Architecture

<kaz> Architecture minutes (member-only)

Lagally: new time slot
... shifted 1 hour earlier
... merged 3 PRs
... long discussion about terminology: WoT Server, .. (Chapter 6)
