| Hi Benjamin,
I quite like the charter! And I have a VERY boring suggestion for the naming: Eclipse IoT :-) I know, a big buzzword and its hype might be over one day, but at the moment I would actually see it as the most descriptive and appropriate, so I wanted to throw it into the discussion.
In the scope section you write: - "Implementation of communication protocols applicable to M2M communications due to their nature (bandwidth efficiency, security, …)"
Looking from the Home Automation perspective, I think this is a too narrow scope. For HA, the M2M communication part is not so important, but rather the protocol that is used to communicate with different gateways. Just to give you an example: For the EnOcean protocol (see http://www.enocean.com/en/energy-harvesting-wireless/), it is not so interesting to understand what goes over the radio (what is very constrained), but how to communicate with the usb radio stick over the serial interface. So I think the protocol scope would actually boil down to "Implementation of communication protocols". Open question would be: Which OSI layers would be in scope here? Is 4-7 enough or would you also see layers 1-3 in the scope?
Best regards, Kai All,
I have initalized a wiki page with a charter draft.
I am looking forward to your comments, since it is of course a very first pass. Also, we can certainly discuss this document further during our call tomorrow.
Cheers,
All, The M2M working group has been pretty successful in recruiting projects. Has the time come to consider creating a new top-level project to help create a cohesive project community for our M2M technologies? For those who are unfamiliar with them, top-level projects are the mechanism which ties a collection of projects in a particular domain to the Eclipse development and IP processes. It requires the creation of a project management committee
(PMC), the appointment of a PMC leader, and having a written charter approved by the Board of Directors. Mike Milinkovich Executive Director Eclipse Foundation +1.613.220.3223 mobile +1.613.224.9461 x228 office @mmilinkov
