Agenda

McCool: Any additions to the agenda [no]

Conexxus Strategy Conference

McCool: McCool is in Canada for the Conexxus conference
... Gave a presentation to them yesterday. This has given us 3 new members!

Online PlugFest

McCool: Mozilla can’t come ot TPAC in person, but will instead ship hardware to McCool for their demo

Lagally: are Mozilla fully compliant to the TD spec?

McCool: not yet, but let’s not focus on that

<sebastian> here is the issue https://github.com/w3c/wot/issues/850

Sebastian: only a small change would be needed for Mozilla to become compliant

<sebastian> https://hub.packtpub.com/mozilla-releases-webthings-gateway-0-9-experimental-builds-targeting-turris-omnia-and-raspberry-pi-4/

Kaz: let’s talk about the details in the PlugFest call after this call given the agenda is full for this main call today

Sebastian: a new software release of the Mozilla’s gateway, which promotes the W3C Web of Things

Report from TAG meeting

McCool: we met with the TAG last week, the outcome is that they won’t block us, but see their feedback as helping us to improve our specs going forward
... They missed more user oriented use cases, i.e. what is WoT good for
... their main recommendation was to improve the explainer for WoT

<kaz> (TAG also will update their comments on GitHub)

McCool: In respect to the PING feedback, Sam gave us the most, we can proceed, and we should expect more detailed feedback as we make further progess, it isn’t a blocking issue right now

<kaz> (regarding the TAG's comment, we've already got update to Issue 371)

<mlagally> https://github.com/w3c/wot-architecture/issues/371

Lagally: interoperability is a big issue (Dave Baron).

McCool: a lot of that may be addressed by profiles
... we have a framework, but need profiles to guarantee interoperability in certain contexts
... we need multiple profiles for the long run
... we got an agreement from the TAG, not to block us, and indeed, we are kind of breaking new ground in WoT
... Privacy remains a challenging area for us to make progress on as we proceed

Kaz: we should have longer joint discussion to promote a fuller understanding

TPAC Agenda

<inserted> TPAC f2f agenda

McCool: we can take input from the people here today, and hopefully expand this next week
... any major items to put on the input list? [n]

Kaz: Japanese broadcaster, NHK, is interested in WoT as well as media discussion
... had some discussion with the MEIG Chair about possible joint discussion on Monday

McCool: I will only be arriving on Monday, so I won’t be able to participate

Sebastian: what is the idea?

Kaz: the conclusion from the discussion is
... we don't have to have a dedicated joint session but can listen to NHK's presentation during the MEIG f2f and see their demo
... in any case, NHK will participate in the PlugFest demo on Wednesday
... also we can talk about the details on further collaboration/intefration of TV sets during our f2f on Thu/Fri

Sebastian: I will be there on Monday morning and can participate

Kaz: Thanks!

<inserted> MEIG f2f agenda

McCool: anyone able to reach out to the JSONLD 1.1 folks to sync up?
... a joint meeting would be helpful.

Sebastian: I can ask Victor to reach out to arrange that

Kaz: please CC me when you and Victor contact the JSON-LD group so that I can help you, e.g. by talking with Ivan Herman as the staff contact for JSON-LD

Sebastian: we should talk about need for TD features …

<kaz> Wendy's comment

McCool: I believe we did that already - we merged her changes and got her approval

Kaz: you mentioned a possible updated explainer document. we can work on that later and let her know about that idea.

McCool: ok

RESOLUTION: Submit current IG charter draft at https://github.com/w3c/wot/blob/master/charters/wot-ig-2019.html to W3M

Proposal to have following F2F at the Singapore IETF

McCool: I’ve been chatting with Mozilla on this
... Our f2f on Nov 13-14, and IRTF workshop afterwards
... Normally we have the plugfest before the WoT F2F, but this would conflict with the IETF
... We still need to sort a venue ...

Kaz: I think IETF hackathon is on Nov 16-17. what would happen on 15th? WISHI?

<inserted> McCool: 15 will be WISHI

McCool: we would benefit from a joint workshop e.g. to discuss data schemas for CBOR

<McCool> proposal: to proceed with organizing the next WoT F2F at IETF106, including a joint plugfest/hackathon and T2TRG workshop

Lagally: do we have any idea of what we would do at the plugfest?

McCool: I think we should focus on the thing directory and profiles
... we could also work with Mozilla on smart home profiles

<inserted> kaz: would clarification on the concrete date and topics

<McCool> proposal: to proceed with organizing the next WoT F2F at IETF106, including a joint plugfest/hackathon on Nov 16-17 and a T2TRG workshop on Nov 15 and two days of F2F meetings Nov 13-14

<kaz> (implies 5-day meeting: 13-14 wot-f2f, 15 WISHI, 16-17 IETF Hackathon/WoT PlugFest)

McCool: anyone feel strongly that we should add an open day?

<McCool> proposal: to proceed with organizing the next WoT F2F at IETF106, including a joint plugfest/hackathon on Nov 16-17 and a T2TRG workshop on Nov 15 and two days of F2F meetings Nov 13-14, with a possible open day on Nov 12

Kaz: I am not really sure we need an open day this time

McCool: I agree that 5 days of meetings is long enough, but it depends on who we could meet with
... any objections [no]

RESOLUTION: to proceed with organizing the next WoT F2F at IETF106, including a joint plugfest/hackathon on Nov 16-17 and a T2TRG workshop on Nov 15 and two days of F2F meetings Nov 13-14,, with a possible open day on Nov 12
