Quick Items

McCool's status

McCool: (gives updates on his status)
… would not be very active for WoT

McCool: after Aug 31 will only be attending occasionally a guest

Plugfest room

Koster: update on plugfest room

Kaz: got one room, can use on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday; event team will working on Sunday, however
… do we need that room for Wed as well? Thought it would be better, wanted to ask

McCool: will that room be used for the breakout?

Kaz: not sure, that was my suggestion

McCool: my opinion is that moving rooms is not really feasible for demos; can't really set up in 5 minutes...

Koster: too much risk, I agree

David: could easily take all the breakout time trying to get things working again

Kaz: after getting a resolution, the other question is how long will it take to wrap up.

Ege: 30m minimum

Kaz: can we do it in break time, e.g. 10m?

Ege: I don't think that is feasible, there are usually a lot of cables

Kaz: ok, so we will need the room for the following session as well

<kaz> proposal: we need to use the plugfest room on Wednesday as well, and would be nicer to use the same room for the breakout. also it would take 30mins or so to wrap up the devices, so would use the room after our own breakout as well

RESOLUTION: we need to use the plugfest room on Wednesday as well, and would be nicer to use the same room for the breakout. also it would take 30mins or so to wrap up the devices, so would use the room after our own breakout as well

Plugfest call

Koster: next, want to restart plugfest planning
… slot after this has been used for profile... so would like to find a different slot for one of them
… our agenda is pretty full
… preferred would be for profiles to find a different slot

Kaz: there is a profile call planned for today
… can use slot for plugfest next week

Koster: had a short deadline on Profile, but...
… but hopefully will wrap up today...

McCool: were the NGSI-LD people invited?

Kaz: also need a resolution to actually invite them

<mjk> Proposal: Invite NGSI-LD people to the Plugfest meeting on August 6

McCool: I also suggest that mk send them a quick email immediately so they know it's next week and not this week

RESOLUTION: Invite NGSI-LD people to the Plugfest meeting on August 6

Ege: binding registry needs and editor
… proposal is for myself as one of the editors
… but need to follow the process
… is slot in agenda in TD/Binding call later today

Koster: let's consider a resolution now...

Kaz: if you're also ok with letting the Plugfest TF use the slot next week, we can handle the Calendar entries appropriately.

Ben: I think we do need that call next week

Koster: we are off the week after that, too
… wish would push the next plugfest call to Aug 20

McCool: could do a doodle, could use the NGSI-LD slot on monday for the plugfest call...

Kaz: if ben feels he needs the slot next week, then we should try to find another slot; also, publishing a note is still a long process

Ben: once the note is published we can alternate, but next week is important to wrap things up

Kaz: ok to change resolution and prioritize profile

<mjk> Proposal: revert the resolution to have the Plugfest call and instead have the Profile call on August 6th

RESOLUTION: revert the resolution to have the Plugfest call and instead have the Profile call on August 6th

McCool: should still let the NGSI-LD people know that we're trying to find a time...

Kaz: will looking into making a doodle poll

Koster: please do, and include the current NGSI-LD slot

<mjk> proposal: Ege to become editor of the Binding Registry document

RESOLUTION: Ege to become editor of the Binding Registry document

<mjk> proposal: Remove Michael McCool as editor on documents except for Use case and Requirements and Profile

RESOLUTION: Remove Michael McCool as editor on documents except for Use case and Requirements and Profile

ACTION: kaz to create a doodle poll for the Plugfest call including the current NGSI-LD slot

Use Cases and Requirements PR

Use Cases and Requirements PR 372 - Update Security User Stories

… call for resolution today, and actual resolution next week
… (shows the preview around "User stories" within section 5)

Preview - 5.1 User Stories

McCool: still fixing some of the descriptions
… please review this PR so that we can make the resolution next week
