Meeting minutes

Minutes Review

<kaz> Nov-6

McCool: (goes over the minutes of the last meeting)
… discussed IEEE things, publications, Toumura-Sans PRs ...
… any objections to publishing?

None, minutes are approved

Publications

McCool: Let's talk about this first to make sure that everything is in good shape
… any updates here, Kaz?

Kaz: Not yet

McCool: So we are still waiting for the REC
… but we are in good shape, right?

Kaz: TD is also still in the last stage of publication

Remaining Issues

McCool: There are several issues in the category "Resolve by REC"
… we should either relabel those or mark them as closed
… an issue like #414 could be retired
… the acknowledgements issue could also be closed and be considered as "they are what they are"
… the publication issues will be resolved by publication

Issue 498

<kaz> Issue 498 - Update Acknowledgements

McCool: to resolve the acknowledgment issue, we should have a look at the document
… (opens the rendered version of the document)
… (goes over the current acknowledgements)
… is anyone seeing anything that is missing here?

No comments are made

McCool: Then I think we can close this issue and can have a look at it again for the next version
… (closes the issue)

Issue 410

<kaz> Issue 410 - Use TDD consistently

McCool: I think this one is editorial
… could be closed and revisited for the next version
… will change the label
… (adds the label "defer to Discovery 2.0", removes the "Resolve by REC" label)

Issue 414

<kaz> Issue 414 - make tdd-http-unsupported-feature manual

McCool: What does "manual" mean here?
… seems to be related to manual testing
… and about marking the assertion as manual
… this does not change the REC but only the Implementation Report
… (goes over the CSV table)
… is already marked as manual, so we can close this issue
… need to double-check this
… (checks the rendered implementation report)
… is here under manual, so let's close this one

Closes the issue

Kaz: A general question: I still need to create the transition request for Architecture, TD, and Discovery, and for that we still need to identify the outstanding issues

McCool: Everything that is not marked as "Resolve by REC" is deferred to the next charter
… all of the resources stuff should also be resolved by REC
… let me add the corresponding label
… and get rid of "End by Charter" as that is ambigious

Kaz: Those issues labeled as "Resolve by PR" or "Resolve by CR" could also be closed

McCool: I think these were mostly related to DID

Issue 467

<kaz> Issue 467 - Resolve Remaining DID issues

McCool: Here, everything mentioned in the issue is done
… except that we need a resolvable URL for the registration with the DID registry
… it is a funny one, as we have the REC and the resources, but we need to update the DID registry, which should be done before publication
… so I would mark this as "Resolve by REC" as well
… although it is not strictly necessary, I think it is a good idea

Issue 510

<kaz> Issue 510 - Update Requirements

McCool: We can simply remove the label here

Issue 445

<kaz> Issue 445 - Implementation Report Fixes

McCool: These should be mostly fixed
… anyway, I will remove the "Resolve by PR" label, we should check that all of the points are resolved

Issue 402

<kaz> Issue 402 - Register DID service names

McCool: As mentioned before, this is really "Resolve by REC", as it relates to resources, not an "End of charter" thing

Issue 328

<kaz> Issue 328 - CR WD review June 2022

McCool: This was feedback by Zoltan, should have been taken care of
… but let's defer it to version 2.0
… (adds the corresponding label)

Issue 327

<kaz> Issue 327 - Extend Thing Link use cases in the Explainer

McCool: Not a blocker, let's leave it open for now

Issue 111

<kaz> Issue 111 - Geolocation query filters for AR

McCool: Let me take out the label "Stretch Goal" here

<McCool> w3c/wot-discovery#111

McCool: and mark it as deferred

Issue 283

<kaz> Issue 283 - Organize Testing

McCool: This is done, so we can resolve it
… I am going to close it

Issue is closed

Issue 79

<kaz> Issue 79 - Define Geospatial query filter for Directories

McCool: I remove the "Stretch Goal" label from this issue
… is also a duplicate

Issue 440

<kaz> Issue 440 - Standardizing how to describe the location of the TD

McCool: I think this is mostly done
… but let's defer this
… (adds the "Defer to Discovery 2.0" label)

Labels for the remaining Issues

McCool: So to answer your question, Kaz, the issues labeled as "resolve by REC" are now the only ones left

<McCool> https://github.com/w3c/wot-discovery/labels/resolve%20by%20REC

McCool: question is, though, if they are blockers
… especially the DID issues

Kaz: I don't think they are blockers, maybe we should another type of label here, like "discovery-resources"

McCool: Okay, let's add a new label
… and call it "Resources"
… (creates the label)

<McCool> https://github.com/w3c/wot-discovery/labels/Resources

McCool: (replaces the "Resolve by REC" label with the "Resources" label on the remaining issues)

McCool: So we can officially say we are done, but we only need to publish the resources
… anything else to do, Kaz?

Kaz: No, I don't think so

Use Cases and Requirements

McCool: We have three PRs by Jan

Issue 236 / PR 242

<McCool> Issue 236 - Associate Discovery Requirement with Use Cases

<McCool> PR 242 - Associate Discovery Requirement with Use Cases

McCool: PR is not yet done

Jan: no time to finish it

McCool: ok. let's see the preview then

preview- 4.3.6 Discovery

McCool: need to think about the format too

Jan: some issue about trailing white spaces...

McCool: you also use "[[[ ]]]" notation for references
… we should use this new format consistently
… will make a comment about this on the Pullrequest itself
… (adds comments)

-> McCool's comments

PR 241

PR 241 - Remove trailing whitespace

McCool: HTML itself doesn't care about extra white spaces
… but it would effect the diffs later
… so OK with merging this

(merged)

Discovery PRs

PR 523

<kaz> PR 523 - Update static version for REC publication

McCool: You told me that the process was updated but ReSpec was not, Kaz, is it fixed by now?

Kaz: Should work now

McCool: Let me try again
… let me try to render the document locally again
… (experiences some technical difficulties)
… I will deal with this later, I will send you a link
… once I get this working, I will immediately merge it and send a link to Kaz

Kaz: In the worst case, if ReSpec is still problematic, we can inform the Webmaster and move on with publication

McCool: It is just the publication process
… we can call the meeting adjourned, I will spend the rest of the allocated time to fix this
… (gets the document to render before the meeting is closed)
… (commits the new version)
… I think we can officially merge this now
… any objection to merging?

Kaz: Of the static version? I think that's fine
… (merges PR 523)

Merged

McCool: I will do the same for Architecture right after the security call, move to adjourn

[adjourned]
