Michael summarises today's agenda
<kaz> agenda
<kaz> Mar-11 minutes
Michael seeks approval of the minutes for last week's meetings? [no objections]
<kaz> (minutes approved)
Michael asks each task force to review the minutes from their session at the virtual face to face.
<inserted> Links for virtual f2f minutes
The links are in today's agenda
Europe will be getting up a hour earlier from this weekend.
We had a meeting in respect to the Singapore Govtech Proof of concept/testbed
Michael wrote up a use case on monitoring
Hope to add a fleet management use case soon
Michael is also working on Conexxus Retail/EdgeX proof of concept and testbed and hopes to report more details in a couple of weeks
This will involve bridging OpenAPI and Web of Things
We should think about how to track such work
Kaz: We got confirmation from the AC Review commenter about how we propose to handle their comments
Kaz: We're now waiting for formal
approval to publish the RECs on April 2 or perhaps 7th or
9th
... All the diffs were checked in the Architecture and TD task
force calls
Michael: some code highlighting issues that are tricky to deal with, but we're nearly there
<inserted> Kaz: we can talk about the example code highlighting issue during the TD call on 27th
Lagally: we should sync the RECs and press release
McCool: I've sent an email to Alan Bird and hope we can finalise the press release in tomorrow's marketing task force call

<McCool> https://github.com/w3c/wot-marketing/issues/40
<McCool> https://github.com/w3c/wot-marketing/pull/44
Taki: I've provided a pull request in respect to one issue for the press release
McCool: I am expecting to hear back from Alan
<kaz> latest draft
McCool: I will figure out how to
merge the input from Alan and Taki
... can we hold off the publication of the RECs until we get
the press release ready?
Kaz: yes we can
... I already noted this to Ralph Swick
McCool: hope to include quote from Singapore
<kaz> Helsinki f2f wiki
McCool: it seems increasingly
likely that the Helsinki F2F in June will need to become a
virtual face to face
... I have a preference to using WebEx over Zoom
... Promising VPN for the virtual plugfest, but we need to
decide who can host the VPN
Koster: I can set something up right away
McCool: our aim is to emulate a local LAN
Koster: it will involve HTTPS
McCool: people may need a local
box (Raspberry PI?)
... as a bridge
Sebastian: most likely that we
will have another virtual F2F in June, and we should consider
the timing.
... Last week was fine for people in Europe, but not for
America and Asia, we should switch that for June
McCool: we only have a 3 hour window that works for everyone
<kaz> +1
Koster: what about breaking the meeting up into smaller sessions?
McCool: what I am concerned about
is the need for everyone to attend every session if this is to
be like a face to face
... I will organised a doodle and see what works best for
everyone
<kaz> +1
McCool: please do use the "can make if needed" option as appropriate
Lagally: would it make sense to have a binding templates session at the June VF2F?
McCool: getting input from actual
experience would be very useful
... we will need to alter how we approach a virtual plugfest -
I recommend we jointly meet one hour a day and people then
fix/update their stuff during the rest of the time
... suggest putting in estimates for session for time needed and priority
... each task force should
identify the topics they want to discuss at the virtual
F2F
... there is discussion around whether TPAC should be virtual
in October!
... open to suggestion for other meeting tools than WebEx
<Zakim> kaz, you wanted to suggest we put initial ideas to the f2f wiki
<McCool> https://github.com/w3c/Guide/issues/78
Kaz: all task force leaders are encouraged to add to the F2F wiki, right?
McCool: yes
Kaz: we thus need to add the structure to the wiki page accordingly
McCool: Ralph posted on the chairs list some questions relating to evaluation of different solutions for teleconferencing
Ege mentions one problem with WebEx
Ege: WebEx doesn't support a native linux app
McCool: we also want to be able to share screens not just windows
Ege: Zoom is pretty good in that regards
Dave: re audio quality, GoTo Meeting on macs - you only get sound from right speaker which is annoying
McCool: Discussion on missing
features, improving documentation, etc.
... we need to spend time improving node-wot and its
testing
... suggestion for a user meeting on node-wot
Sebastian: biggest concern is lack of contributors to node-wot, seeking others to help
McCool: I definitely agree. I am
looking for support from within Intel
... perhaps we should set up a W3C Community Group for
node-wot?
Sebastian: node-wot is already part of teh Eclipse community, but we should have more contributors from the WoT IG/WG, could Intel hire some students to work on this?
McCool: I think there may be
budget for this in Intel, but our policy on students requires
us to have a full time position to offer them
... I could only supervise them remotely which might be a
problem
... I was also thinking about Aalto university and will chat
with Zoltan about that
Sebastian: a student at Aalto would make sense
McCool: another idea is to look for help from Japan
Kaz: we could create a CG, but before we do that we need to think about how to transfer requirements to the Eclipse side and who would be responsible from the WoT IG/WG end?
McCool: it makes sense to focus developer outreach on Web of Things around node-wot
<inserted> Kaz: good topic for the marketing tf. we could consider possible liaison with the eclipse side
McCool: any report?
Daniel: we met and discussed some output from the virtual face to face
We discussed DIDs and proofs. We felt that we can't put public key info in TDs without a means to sign the TD,
McCool: some discussion around
OAuth2 and discovery.
... we probably need to think about relation types and
templates, and security in respect to filters
... we are considering privacy and discovery together
Lagally: I've provide the agenda for tomorrow's call and want to clarify terminology to avoid confusion going forward
None
McCool: I think we will have a
testing call today
... end of meeting ...
<kaz> [main call adjourned; testing will start in 7 mins]
