Meeting minutes

looking at github issues

https://github.com/w3c/voiceinteraction/issues

dirk: added SOLID principles
… will add a sentence or two to better match what's in the document
… defined "session" in 3.2.2.2

dirk: will add a new section on "general concepts" and include "session"

jim: session starts when the user connects and ends when they disconnect

jon: or "activate" the system

dirk: timeout terminates or explicitly stops
… explicitly stopping should be added

jim: a session is started to achieve a goal and ends when the goal is achieved, however long that takes
… why do we need a concept of a session?
… session will maintain context

jon: this is about the management of a session

jim: or activity

debbie: system needs to be able to free resources when the session is done

jim: maintain context

dirk: context can exceed a session

jim: no, context describes the session

debbie: what about long-term preferences

jim: that's in a profile

debbie: can context persist over sessions

jim: we need the concept of a session to start off user interaction that tries to achieve a goal

dirk: only the user knows when the goal is achieved
… there might be several subgoals

jim: should we have a vocabulary in the appendix

jim: definition of terms

debbie: this is issue 12, we can return to that later

dirk: redrew the arrows in Figure 3, did that

dirk: added issue 20
… need to check dataflow consistency
