DFDL-WG Conference call 2005-02-16

Attendees: Suman Kalia, Steve Hanson, Susan Malaika - IBM,  Tara Talbot -
PNNL, Mike Beckerle - Ascential Software

IBM offered to host a F2F meeting in mid to late April, or early May at
their Toronto facility. Seems like a good time frame. Gives Ascential folks
time time to get prototype "in play", and leaves time before the June GGF
(Chicago) to get some things written up.

MikeB and Suman to schedule time to work on combined model and list of
representation properties: week of Feb 28th. 

Ascential prototype: hoping to have simplest examples working by end of this
week. (No promises). Things like 2 binary integers. MikeB to post current
XSD for dfdl properties and a few of our test files for the prototype. 

Susan asked about whether implementations of things like BFD are available.
Tara to investigate whether BFD is publicly available now.

We discussed when to start recruiting Oracle, Microsoft, and other
participants, since we will need them. We agreed that our hope would be the
June GGF though it really depends on having an initial document representing
some sort of converged consensus of the current team on current directions.
