Meeting minutes

BMW implementation of VISS

Adnan: timeline not set but we're working on it. meed to get review and go through process

Ulf: example implementation report would help

Ted: sure we have from v1 but better examples

Carine: you can find many examples linked to any specification that reached PR or REC under https://www.w3.org/TR
… some are more generated based on test suite results

Features wishlist

Ulf: how can we use this exercise to reach more people?
… perhaps send to the mailing list or start a wiki?
… issues on github

Ted outlines mix of github for tracking actual, create a survey and reach out to our large mailing list (many more lurkers than active on call)

Adnan: for us, less features would be preferred

Ulf: one idea is the notion of being able to push jobs to the server, more complex than what can be done with the filters

Erik: is the idea sending a job down to the server or being able to call a pre-defined?

Ulf: both

Erik: reason for asking is it is staring to sound similar to VSC service
… especially wiht pre-defined

Ulf: we would want to avoid conflicting with that work

Peter: there is growing attention towards Matter, a home automation standard
… it would be good to have interoperability with it

Ted: nearby is the PoC BMW did with W3C WoT and VSS
… at a higher level need for a technical steering committee within COVESA/W3C
… see jobs useful for multiple purposes

Adnan: we have to be careful in being too wide in different use cases
… at AMM around VISS we see it as an API gateway but internally do not expect it to be the back end
… for lightweight browser applications it is useful or gateway to systems
… approach is different for different use cases

Ted: all that said, should continue with plan outlight for getting input for v2

Ulf: maybe we should be looking at the bigger picture instead

Adnan: multiple approaches are fine
… we need to consider outsiders taking a first look at this. the more a solution tries to address, the more wary I am of it. better is specific purpose some times

Ulf: agree it is possible to over engineer something
