Meeting minutes
Organization
Sebastian_Käbisch: Welcome to our Plugfest call
… Any new comer? Seems not the case.
Minutes Review
<kaz> Oct-30
"0MQ" is valid, will be left
We need to discuss the VPN
Mintues are ok, no objections
Plugfest Plan
<kaz> WoT Week wiki
Sebastian: Checking if we can stay the whole day on Tuesday
… There will be the need to clean up before the shuttle bus
David: Is there a way to register additional people to the dinner
Sebastian: There are limited places, I need to check
Kaz: Do you mean that the shuttle bus will leave the venue directly?
Sebastian: Yes
Kaz: This means we need to bring our luggage with us
Sebastian: Yes. It is not that far. You can go to hotel if it is near in Garching in the 30 mins
… if you have to travel to the city center you will lose a lot of time
… it is a good point, we can arrange a room for luggage
Network
<kaz> WoT Week event page on the wot-testing repo
Sebastian: We already have a meeting
… Ege can you present?
<kaz> (Ege shows a diagram on the Plugfest network setup)
Ege: I colored things on the ppt to differentiate
… You need to login to a certain page to have network, but we configured a router to hide this process
… we have Wifi 3.4 and 5 GhZ
… Toumura-san has set up a W3C VPN
… If you have a Raspberry Pi you can configure it
… We have devices in the public internet such as TUM devices etc.
… What is not possible if remote consumer wants to communicate with a local device
… I need to clarify more things
… If you have a local consumer, you should be able to talk to everything in the network
… I hope next week if finish setting up
… Everyone should have static ip addresses for the event
Sebastian: We need to make sure the router assigns static ips correctly
Kaz: I am not sure about the local Things and the local Consumers on VPN. They can be simply directly connected to the Router if they're "local", can't they?
Ege: Yes
Kaz: We need to clarify that we need to connect to the specific router
Cristiano: The safest place to be for Things and Consumers is the VPN, correct?
Ege: Yes, This ensures maximum connectivity
… but, I will try to make sure that connecting to the router automatically connects to the VPN
McCool: If this does not work, what will be plan B?
Ege: I can program a Raspberry Pi to act as a Gateway
… if you want to use your Things that can install VPN client, everything is fine
McCool: There will also be a wired network?
Ege: Yes, with a couple of switches
McCool: Plan C: Can we use a ssh-tunnel?
Ege: It should be possible but with a lot of overhead
Cris: Since we have only one router there, do you see it as a bottleneck?
Ege: Didn't test it, but it is a very good router for this setup
McCool: if you are using broadcast use it sparingly
Sebastian: Do not use the network for streaming videos
McCool: The exception for the video streams is that we will have an IP Camera
… we can lower the frame rate to mitigate congestion
kaz: technically, we can try adoptive streaming like MPEG-DASH, but simply using lower frame rate is fine
Sebastian: 2 request for everyone joining locally
… please bring your own LAN cable
… and power extensions
… if you have your own Wifi or LAN device, bring one if possible
Kaz: Regarding AC power, everyone will get one AC outlet for each, right?
Sebastian: Yes
(showing locations on the location map)
Sebastian: This is the first time we organize an event in this building but hopefully everything goes smoothly
… One more question regarding VPN: Can we already share information about the VPN?
Toumura: It should be stable
Kaz: I already sent an email to the mailing list. If you want to add some more people from your organization, please let me know.
… For example, Ege wanted to add people from the WoT CG.
Demo Presentations
Sebastian: There is now a template linked in the wiki
(explains ppt structure)
There will be also a poster template, ready for the next week
Ege: There are some PRs to merge
<kaz> PRs
PR 601
<kaz> PR 601 - Things and Consumers from WoT CG Call
Ege: 2 people added their devices
<kaz> i|2people|subtopic: PR 601|
<kaz> i|2people|PR 601 - Things and Consumers from WoT CG Call|
Ege: for one setup no table is assigned
Sebastian: We have at most one more table
McCool: The poster can be used to list all scenarios of the table
Sebastian: Makes sense to make clusters of topics and put them on same table
Kaz: All are encourged to clarify their scenarios (including network setting, devices and applications) on the README and the slide/poster as well
Sebastian: Let us cluster devices next week
Ege: I added a TD, validation is not working
… it's a TD for a microscope
… Please group devices based on implementation
PR 599
<kaz> PR 599 - Add Open Flexure microscope TD
Sebastian: Any objections to merge this?
<kaz> (PR 599 merged)
<EgeKorkan> https://
Ege: This website can be used to validate TDs, use it to validate TDs uploading one
<kaz> (PR 601 also merged)
PR 589
