For information on individual task forces, please see the WoT Web Page or follow the links below to the individual task force Wiki pages.

Cancellations and Schedule Updates

Unfortunately, the W3C calendar system does not handle cancellations very gracefully. Cancellations cannot be reverted, and the event still shows up in the calendar mashup. It's also not possible to delete events.

Therefore, if a meeting is marked as "tentative" in the W3C Calendar and if "CANCELLED" is in the title, it means it is cancelled. This may be done occasionally to allow a cancellation to be reverted if necessary.

Update: the start/end dates of recurrences can also be updated reversibly. This has the advantage of removing the events from the calendar mash-up here. Several meetings (Architecture, Discovery, Security) have now been "suspended" this way, with their end dates changed to July 15, 2024. When they are reinstated they can be found under "Past Events" and the start/end dates modified.

Likewise to "delete" events just end their recurrences at some appropriate date.

    • Request to use the WoT IG's Use Case template for their UC event
      1. The WoT-JP CG would like to copy the WoT Use Case template to their repository.
      2. Then they would like to describe their use cases in Japanese using the template.
      3. And bring the use cases back to the WoT Use Cases TF after translating the use cases in Engish.
      4. The original Japanese use cases should be archived so they are available for future reference.

=> Re-using the UC template itself should be fine, but the template is not fixed yet. Also we as the WoT IG need to check the feasibility of the template ourselves beforehand. So we need to see when to let the JP CG use the template.

"As a W3C Web of Things Working Group (WoT), we are pleased that the new OPC Foundation working group will specify the OPC UA Binding for the Web of Things. We support these efforts and offer, for instance, through liaison meetings and/or running PlugFests, to ensure compliance with the latest Web of Things approaches (e.g., with WoT Binding Templates). An official OPC UA Binding for the Web of Things provides a new opportunity for simplified integration of datapoints from OPC UA-based systems into IoT-based applications using latest Web technologies."

    • Strategy Issue 440
    • Still in progress...
    • Expected start date: 1-2wks (late May/start of June)

Errata

Recap (discussion last meeting):

  • Errata: First, remind people about the rules we currently have. Secondly, agree on the policy. Finally, adjust the tooling and documents accordingly.
    • Correct use of "errata" label in GitHub issues -> Proposal should be in a policy. For versioned specs, we should use corresponding labels, i.e. TD 1.1 erratas should have "Errata1.1", TD 1.0 should have "Errata1.0".
    • Policy Issue: https://github.com/w3c/wot/issues/1190 . This should be written into a policy and then copied to all REC-track documents' errata.html files
    • Tooling Issue: https://github.com/w3c/display_errata/issues/23 . Ege can make a PR later on.

Next steps/Discuss:

  • Resolution?
    • Should we disable the functionality and do explicit publication of errata?
    • If we do not disable it, how can we prevent accidental publication of errata?
  • Proposal from Ege, Koster, Kaz is below. Let's have resolution on the basics before writing a policy document.
    1. Agree on avoiding misusing the errata relevant label
    2. Change the errata submission procedure to include specific text in square brackets in the issue name, e.g., "[POSSIBLE ERRATA] This sentence is wrong". This means we remove current errata-related labels from the GitHub issues.
    3. Evaluation of the label MUST happen by the Task Force responsible for the document. If the Task Force is not active anymore, the Working Group evaluates it. If the Working Group does not exist anymore, the W3C Team or their delegated entity should evaluate the submission.
    4. Evaluation result should be the "Official Errata SPECVERSION Confirmed" where the SPECVERSION is a specific version of the spec, e.g., TD1.1, TD1.0, Discovery1.0 .
    5. We edit the errata.html document manually based on the issue.
    6. The versioning and resource management discussion should take this into account.
    7. Each TF should edit their errata.html document's policy after the WG policy is agreed upon.
