1) Status of 1.0M9 Build
Paul: My understanding is that components are building successfully.  Does
anyone know differently?
Mike:  Everything is okay except for the WAR for the STS.  The WAR isn't
being move to the downloads area.
Paul:  Is Peter working on this?
Valery:  Yes
Mike: I don't think we have made the branch for 1.0M9 yet.
Paul: Correct.  We will get back to this topic.

2) Status of 1.0M9 Build Enhancements (see [1])
- Light/unlight LEDs Components page [208421] --waiting on Eclipse webmaster
- Tagged nightly builds [208429] --finishing development & tested today
- Tagged stable builds [208430] --under development
Paul:  We are waiting for the webmaster for the LED's.
Paul:  The second item we are testing today.  Then we can do the branch
fairly confidently.  To do the branch we need the complete list of
components, those building and not.
Mike:  I would assume anything not being built by autobuild isn't part of
the milestone?
Paul:  Yes. We expect to be able to do the branch on Friday.
Paul:  The next item, 208430, is also planned. Then the components page will
just have one downloads column with a link to both nightly and stable builds
Mike:  We should look at how the other projects do it.  Most of them have a
download page.
Paul:  We could do that to.
Mike:  At some point we need to do this for deployments as well.
Paul:  Yes.
Mary:  The Eclipse standard is to have a downloads page.  We do have a
downloads page, which we will upgrade as soon as we have the new stable
build.
Paul:  Are your proposing one download page?
Mike:  Realistically, don't want to send them to download from 30 pages.  So
should be able to download a whole deployment.

3) Newly Entered Bugs. Need to triage.
Paul: There are a number of new bugs.  As we come to the end of 1.0 we want
to give more visibility to the open bugs.
Paul:  There are 5 bugs in section 3, Mike is you expectation that they are
all 1.0 items?
Mike:  The first item is 1.0, second is 1.0, 3rd is fixed, need to look at
last two again.
Paul:  The next section is bugs from Barcelona.  Probably no one has had
time to look at these and review the assignments.  We are tracking them. I'm
going to assume the default position is that these are all 1.0 items.
Markus: Some of these will be hard to diagnose.  Need to look at them all
carefully.
Brian: Is there any perceived priority for these?
Tony:  What deployment configuration are they related to?
Paul:  Don't know.  Some are for all versions, some just the web.  We will
try to make sure.  I will sort them by deployment.
Tony:  Sorting may help with prioritization.

4) Overall 1.0 Bug total: 82 (not including the above) Please review [2]
Paul:  We will track this every week.

5) Tony: Schedule for RP code contribution/merge
Paul:  Is there any update on that?
Tony:  Talked to Bruce today.  This is one item that Bruce has to do. He
should give us a date for that.

6) Tony: Schedule for Eclipse-based Selector code contribution
Paul:  Next item is RPC stuff
Tony:  We are in the process of bringing this up to the 1.0M9 level.  Right
now it is on a June level. Mike and Bruce are working on this.
Paul:  You are still optimistic?
Tony:  We are evaluating where we are.
Mike:  Shouldn't take much longer, only about ~30 errors left
Mike:  Want to make sure understand the previous version.
Mike:  Ok.  It should be committed in the next few days.  A person had
health issues.

7) Selector Selector Summit
Paul:  This item is a new-ish topic.  Actually Mike introduced this topic at
the F2F last month.
Paul:  It isn't a 1.0 thing, but I'm starting to put some thought around
this.  I thought we could dedicate a section of the Provo F2F as a Selector
Selector Summit. We could bring together a number of people beyond the usual
Higgins F2F attendees
Paul:  I'd like to try to have a focused session on this. It would be about
a consistent user experience and a common API to evoke a selector.  We have
been looking into this and there is a lot of inconsistency and adhocracy.
It is something that needs attention and it seems that the Higgins project
is the perfect place to do this as we are multi-platform. It is possible
that even trying to prepare for this will accomplish so much we don't need
to meet F2F, but we are putting a place holder in for the Provo F2F.
Tony:  My only concern is that this may be a little too late.
Paul:  We could try to do this at IIW.
Tony:  Yes. And maybe have a call first.

8) IIW interop/demo planning
Paul:  Charles could you provide and update?
Charles:  There is an attempt to do some sort of interop to follow-up from
Barcelona.
Charles:  The interop would be a refinement of unsuccessful tests and
completion of more advanced features
Mike:  Can I ask a question?  I pointed people to a MS blog discussion of
features.  Are we able to ask Mike for specification? To get them submitted
to the OSP as soon as possible?
Mary:  We are preparing a formal response to MS's July 9th OSP. This is one
of the high priority requests.
Charles:  My thoughts exactly.
Mike:  They also asked how an S-card differs from an i-card.  A response to
Paul's blog.
Paul:  Yeah.  Want to understand what Mike is suggesting. We have being
thinking about having Higgins coordinate this.
Charles:  Mike and Pam and Charles need it.
Paul:  Can we meet today to discuss?  Please send blog url.
Mike:  Will do when get on line
Mary:  Have started to write a preliminary draft of our response to the 2nd
OSP
Mike:  Kim has mentioned this new blog on his blog.

9) We will have a special 30 minute agenda item for our November 8th call on
"safe browsing" - discussions that have been happening in the W3C WSC TC.
Mary: Tony do you want to talk about this?
Tony: In the W3C WSC TC we have been looking at what it takes to have a
secure browsing mode.  What automatically gets set up for your browser, ...
to try to eliminate some of the click through that occurs.  They have some
ideas...
Tony:  Is this something that we want to build into Higgins?  Does it
provide us any advantage or help us to promote best practices?  Next week's
session is just an intro discussion of this.  Do we want to do something and
if so what?

Paul:  This is the end of the formal agenda.  Maybe at IIW we should have a
Higgins session - a working session. If a number of us will be there anyway.
The Selector Summit can be one topic and interoperability, etc.
Mike:  This is a good idea, but I may not be able to attend IIW.  Maybe we
could just co locate the Higgins session.
Mary:  The fee to attend IIW is very low, and can be waived in some
circumstances.
Paul:  Maybe we could co-locate.
Tony:  Maybe this could be an interim F2F.
Mike:  What about just doing it on the phone?
Paul:  We will think about this.
Paul:  Did we mention that Markus has contributed the beginnings of a SAML2
IdP to Higgins?
Markus:  I sent a message out to the dev list.
Tony:  We need to figure out how this fits with the architecture.
Paul:  Agreed. It is not part of 1.0. Hoping to discuss how it fits into the
architecture in one of these meetings.
Paul:  Have gotten informal offerings of resources to work on this.. Need to
determine next steps on a call.
Mike:  So we could schedule a phone call meeting on this topic.
Paul:  There is too much content to jam into a weekly call.
Paul: It would need to be a whole separate call
Paul:  We will think about it.
Markus: I created the component wiki pages today.
Mary:  Now that we are almost done with 1.0M9, we should revisit the 1.0
schedule.
Paul:  I thought the suggestion out there was still to have a 12/31 end
date.  If it so happened that something didn't make it, at this point we
would be ok.
Tony:  Anyone see a reason why not do that?  (Keep to the 12/31 development
done date?)
Mary:  The Eclipse foundation (and maybe others) plan to issue a press
release.  The end of December is not a good time for PR.
Paul:  We can keep to the internal due date of 12/31.
Mary:  Then announce after the beginning of the year.
Tony:  It is not necessary to develop it and announce it all together.
Doesn't need to be in parallel.  Can complete the release and then announce
it.
Mary:  So the release will be done by the end of the year and we will
announce it in the beginning of the year.
Paul:  It is politically better to have the technical work done soon.
Paul:  By our call next Thursday, we will have a stable 1.0M9 build.
