[glue-wg] Notes: GLUE WG teleconference, Tuesday, May 21, 2013

[JP Navarro]

Agenda:
1) XML rendering is in public comment thru July 20 (5 minutes)
  Comments would be posted here: http://redmine.ogf.org/projects/editor-pubcom/boards/9

2) Possible next face to face meeting (5 minutes)
  Our next face-to-face will be at OGF-39 co-located with the EGI Technical Forum 2013 September 16-20 in Madrid, Spain

3) LDAP update lead by Florido (remainder of meeting)
  Florido's presentation (attached) describe the last software released under EMI.
  Change Impact
- OID renumbering: no impact on clients, only on servers
- AUXILIARY renamed to STRUCTURAL - no impact on clients, only on servers
- DirectoryString - Some presented objects will disappear if they only had empty attributes which impacts clients and servers
- GLUE2GroupID=resource changed to GLUE2GroupID=services
  This is currently outside the rendering, and Stephen recommends it be left for the implementation
  Used in GLite and Arc
  Existing bdii have "resource" and many new ones have "services"
  Florido has example queries that depend on the "resource" vs "services" and couldn't be insulated
  Current implementation (what Florido called state-of-the-art depend on this) the question we discussed is whether it still belongs in the spec

Action items:
1) Florido will discuss merging LDAP schema EMIrevision branch with Maria and then merge with official master branch
2) Florido give an explanation for current practices and why they care whether GLUE2GroupID = resources vs services
3) Produce a new "URI string schemas" specification
4) Draft LDAP rendering document needs to be revised
5) Florido will re-read the rendering:
   a) decouple the recommended versus must
   b) decouple user facing recommendations versus implementor facing
   c) Send revised document to Stephen
   d) Stephen will accept what's OK, and reject what is debatable
   e) Stephen and Florido will summarize of debatable items for future GLUE2 discussions

Agreed that our next teleconference will be June 18.
   
Thanks,

JP
