Notes:
======
1) IIW - highlights, Identity agent vs.. Identity selector terminology
discussion
[Mary]: The Internet Identity Workshop(IIW) was
held this week. It was a very good event for
Higgins.
[Paul]: IIW was in
Mountain View. There were a number of sessions on VRM (Vendor Relationship
Management). It was good for Higgins. People are realizing that
r-cards can be very useful. Did an r-card use
case.
[Paul]: Some discussion about terminology: i-cards vs.
information cards (Microsoft). We agree we need one term.
Microsoft is now saying that the information card term can be broader than just
CardSpace personal and managed
cards.
[Paul]: We also
coined the term MSISIP, which some of the folks at IIW agreed
to, which stands for Microsoft
identity selector interoperability profile. We
are calling the whole thing an identity selector, and calling the cards
i-cards or information cards. MSISP is the name of the protocol
used when interoperating with CardSpace... There were lots of
other good sessions, such as OpenID beyond
2.0.
[Paul]: There was a lot
of interest in Higgins. There is a new OASIS TC on reputation
standards. Tony is a
co-chair
[Drummond]: There was a
VRM interoperability drill down session on a change of address use case, that
discussed using
Higgins
2) Status of builds work. We
now have new builds pages with the stable B1-0M9 builds.
[Mary]: We now have stable builds for B1-0M9 and
new and improved build pages that for each project show a list of all
builds (nightly and stable and soon release) and if you click on a specific
build you get a leaf page that has the links for all the downloads associated
with the build.
[BrianW]: The only thing we need is some components are
not yet included in the nightly build stream. A list has been sent to
the dev list. Items either need to be added or are not for
1.0
[Paul]: The new leaf node on any build has a
machine generated list of dependencies. We are going to start relying on that
and removing the dep column from the wiki, but first we need to move some
additional info from these dep pages to the big third party
dependency wiki page. So if there are no
objections....
3) Overall 1.0 Bug status. Please
review and update the list before the developer call
today. Link is available at the bottom
of the components page. There were 52 open items on Wednesday at 4:22 EDT.
At the time of last week's call there were 66 items.
[Mary]: One of our
goals for today was for everyone to review and update the 1.0 bug list before
today's call. During last week's call we had 66 items. We now have
32 items, so we are moving in the right direction. Then discussed open
items by owners.
[BrianW]: We can commit to 6 of
the items. The other 6 still need more
investigation.
[Jim]: Should be
able to get most of the items done, may need to move off 1 or 2
items.
[Mike]: All my
items are doable in a couple of weeks
[Mary]: The only
other person is Andy, who is not on the call.
4)Update on the RP and RCP
Selector code merges
[Mike]: We are
just about ready to contribute the RP stuff, we are just cleaning up cleaning up
copyrights. How should Paula submit the code?
[Brian]: I think
the right procedure is submitting a bug for the code to establish where it
came from.
[Mike]: I
will work with Paula on this.
[Mary]: Now that
you've joined the call we should talk about the status of the RCP selector
also.
[Mike]: I'm in
the middle of debugging the Eclipse RCP thing. Hopefully will be done
in next day or so.
[Paula]: So
Mike, the first one we submit will contain the handler for i-cards, but
there is also one for open id. Can't distribute OpenID yet as
the provenance of OpenID hasn't been approved
yet.
[Mary]: While I was at
IIW, I witnesses the final signature on an OpenID IPR agreement. So while
it will still be while before OpenID code can be approved for inclusion in SVN,
we are hopefully over the biggest hurdle.
[Brian]: One minor point
on submitting code via bugzilla. Need to submit the bug then revise to add
the attachment.
[Paula]:
Thanks.
[Paul]: So then there is a record
of her code contribution via the bug, and the entry
is authenticated..
5) IPR status
update
[Mary]: Since last week the OpenXDI dependency has been
approved for use and the C++ xmlsec can now be checked into SVN.
This leaves just two CQ's that are needed for 1.0 builds that aren't yet
approved for check-in. They are Libxml2 2.6.29 and openXDAS 3.192.
These items are on hold pending requests for information from developers using
them. Hopefully, we won't have any more surprises in this
area.
[Bruce]: In
regards to topic of additional items, The RP and RP demo ap could be put into
the auto build. I've been reluctant to put these in as they are about
to be superseded by new things. Should these be put into the
attic or autobuild? They may require additional libraries.
[Jim]: If we want, we
could add these to another directory for not ready for prime time
projects.
[Mike]: I think we
should do that - These are some things moving towards the attic rather than not
ready for prime time. The new new stuff Paula is working on would go to
the new not ready for prime time (play) area.
[Mary]: So we
don't anticipate any new CQ's for new
dependencies..
6) Planned
Higgins special topic F2F on multi-protocol architecture, December 17-18 in NY. http://wiki.eclipse.org/Higgins_SAML_Architecture_F2F
[Paul]:Next topic is the
wiki page for the multi-protocol architecture Face-to-face in NY. There
are 12 people expected to participate in the NY
meeting..
[Mike]: I
will work up a detailed agenda early next
week.
[Brian]: I'm
participating.by phone also.
[Mary]: So there are two
participating from Serena
[Mary]: Mike after you
have announced the updated agenda to the list, I will copy the other attendees
who are not on the dev list.
7) Planned
Higgins regular F2F January 15-17 in Provo http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jan_15-17_Provo_F2F_Agenda. (Note new
date)
Paul: Reminder that have changed the date.
That meeting will be action packed. Lately the Higgins calls have been on
bringing the release to closure. They haven't been on innovation.
There is a lot of new stuff to talk
about.
Paul: Reminder we are time boxing release
1.0. Release 1.1 will be more polished. There are people who
are starting to look at the code. People are asking about unit tests,
and instructions on how to take clean machine and build deployments. So
there is more work. We have all felt the right thing to do is to
declare victory. W also don't know what surprises may happen are we go
through the review process for the first
time.
[Mary] Once we have these final pieces of
code done, and the status of the last two CQ's clarified, I will ask
to schedule the formal release IPR review and the release review.
(which can't take place until at least a week after the IPR
review..
[Paul]: That's all we have on today's
agenda
[Jim]:
Is there any plan to move stuff to
the attic?
[Paul]: Yes, I plan to do that but I've been on
the road for the last 6 days.
[Paul]: I'll create an attic and also a
nursery.
[BrianC]: Also look at the new email on
Valery's problems with
SVN..
[Paul:] Thanks
everyone.
