Sebastian: no objections - will be published
Agenda and Logistics for WoT Week/Plugfest
Sebastian: will start at 9am on Monday... see https://
… will provide lunch and coffee
… will also be a small lab tour
… will go until 6pm, then have a visit to the Xmas market and dinner at 7pm
… dinner tbc, not sponsored
… similar schedule for Tuesday, w/o lab tour
… Wed will be "conference" day, see registration link on wiki
… please do register, Siemens will be sponsoring various things and would like to have a head count
… currently have about 20 places left, now open to the public, first-come-first-served at this point
McCool: note that list of topics on Thursday will be reorganized later; question marks means we still need confirmation
Sebastian: for plugfest, are now organizing attendees
… we need also to understand how many demos we have, and who will give them
… want to know who will want a table, there are limited number of spaces
… so far I have allocated tables for Siemens and TUM
… TUM has a robot
Sebastian: McCool, you will be remote?
McCool: plan an AI service based on Frigate, need to pair with someone for demo
Josh: I can hook up with IP cameras
Sebastian: still trying to find out how big the tables are
Sebastian: so will put McCool, ArmorSafe, and IP camera from Ignite on one table
Sebastian: and also a demo from UC Dublin, may be shared
Kaz: two questions
… no only agenda, but also logistics?
… these tables are a good starting point...
… maybe have a different format
… maybe a per-table description
Sebastian: for now just grouping so can figure out the number of tables
… so I can let the event team know
… after that can organize "topics" for each table
Sebastian: also was thinking about having another table...
McCool: think we should organize tables around themes rather than organizations
Toumura: also planning a demo, but just a small device
Sebastian: what kind of device?
Sebastian: protocol?
Toumura: http for now, but thinking of using 0MQ
Toumura: also a discovery service
Sebastian: will create a placeholder for now...
Fady: the robot arm has its own table...
… event organizers will not need to provide one...
… it is also very big
… safety issues?
Fady: I would have to be there at all time to watch over the stop button
… it has force detection but we should also ensure the area around it is clear
Kaz: could fady and roman self-introduce?
Fady: part of WoT since 2021, PhD candidate at TUM
… in final phase of PhD program... so this is a wrapup; Roman is my successor
Roman: just started at TUM as a PhD student; did Master's on this topic
McCool: (Roman above refers to Roman Binkert)
McCool: Toumura going to start a discovery service?
McCool: ideally we would have one discovery service, as well as having TDs in the github repo
… let's at least create a section on the logistics page for TD registration, archival, discovery, etc.
Kaz: let's just create a "Discovery and Registration" section
Sebastian: ok, mostly empty, will let McCool and others fill in
pull requests
PR 598
<kaz> PR 598 - WoT Week: Add dart_wot app to list of consumers
jan: new TD, is both a consumer and discoverer
… basically an app
… is a conflict, will try to resolve
Sebastian: it is just the table, since I did other edits
… do you need a lot of space, or just a laptop?
… will put you on Table 4 for now...
… are you representing Eclipse?
Sebastian: (resolves conflict, commits fix)
Sebastian: (merges PR)
Table Updated
<kaz> WoT Week page
Sebastian: ok, table should be more complete now
… starting to look good
… if people can please provide details as soon as possible
… very soon we should talk about test scenarios
VPN connection
McCool: Toumura-san has set up the VPN and it's working now
… (shows some demo)
Ege: can also show some next week
Sebastian: how to proceed?
… can we share the information?
McCool: we should not share the password, etc.
McCool: let's start with showing the mechanism is working well
Sebastian: the password should be shared only to the Plugfest participants
McCool: right
… btw, thinking about more direct connection between the voice UI and the video camera
… working with Josh
Sebastian: what about the IP address assignment?
McCool: good question
… not sure if the DHCP service would be stable enough
… btw, noticed the base address would be more stable
… some unique name for the Plugfest should be used
Sebastian: great to see the status
… usually it takes long for us to set up the network configuration for Plugfests
McCool: ideally would be better to have some directory service, though
Ege: if people are OK with using static IP addresses, that would be also OK
McCool: please don't use too generic name for your devices
Kaz: as Sebastian mentioned, this is really nice. and actually, that's why I strongly suggested we set up VPN first :) BTW, we can use the WoT Plugfest mailing list, which is limited to the Plugfest participants, to share the password, etc.
Sebastian: tx
… one more point is presentation of our demos
Demo Presentations
Sebastian: opportunites to present demos on stage, also opportunity for posters
… but posters are only A1
Sebastian: started working on a poster template... will discuss in Chairs' call
Sebastian: last thing, link to conference it open and public, feel free to invite people who may be interested
… link is also on wiki page
Sebastian: adjourn
