[glue-wg] MINUTES: GLUE WG teleconference, Tuesday, December 2, 2014

[JP Navarro]

Sorry it took over 2 months to get these MINUTES I had drafted out. Glad I had a draft otherwise I would not have remembered what we discussed.

JP

> Proposed agenda:
> 
> Brief updates followed by a more detailed discussion of proposed cloud extensions.
> 
> 1) LDAP rendering: assess final wg comments and votes and perhaps forward for public comment
> Previous:
>> Action: Florido will send LDAP schema to merge into document, recommend publish path
>> Action: JP/Shiraz will merge Florido's 9/2/2014 comments, LDAP document and release for public comment
>> Agreed that we would publish the LDAP compiled schema at a specific URL
>> Action: JP to confirm schemas.ogf.org versus www.ogf.org/schemas/ (prefer schemas.ogf.org)
>> CONFIRMED that we can use schema.ogf.org/ to publish LDAP and JSON schema
>> We do not think there will be technical conflicts for XML, LDAP, and JSON schemas co-existing under the same URL namespace.
>> http://www.ogf.org/documents/GFD.84.pdf defines standard XML namespace. OGF doesn't have equivalent standards for LDAP or JSON.

Schema will be published as "*.schema.ldap"
Shiraz/JP review our main wiki page and make sure there are links to all the published schemas.

> 2) Enumerations: approve enumerations process document
> Previous:
>> Florido posted script to merge, it's on Github.
>> David volunteers to help manage enumerations, including add missing enumerations.
>> We need define the enumerations described in GFD.147.
>> ACTION: Warren will post proposed job state enumerations from XSEDE
>> ACTION: David/Warren/Shiraz will explore Git tools/ pull requests for maintaining enumerations and propose changed enumeration management process documentation

No updates.

> 3) Cloud Extensions: compare benefits and disadvantages of both approaches
> Previous:
>> Our next meeting on November 25 will focus on GLUE 2.1 Cloud changes
>> We discussed extensively what we mean by compatibility between GLUE 2.0 and 2.1.
>> No conclusion reached and needs to be further discussed.
>> We didn't have time to discuss Paul's proposal to add a View attribute in 2.1
>> David will explore pricing policies in the context of GLUE2 and OGF SLA (WS-Agreement, GRAP) working group

Terminology: Call this GLUE 2.1 specification, 100% compatible with 2.0 with additional optional cloud extensions

> 4) JSON: continue rendering discussions, discuss next steps.
> Previous:
>> JSON schema is ready for WG review before release for public comment.
>> ACTION: Warren will post schema pointer to the working group this week, we will vote on 25th to release for public comment.

Moved to release for public comment after correcting schema reference URL.
XSEDE is implementing JSON GLUE2
David funding supports his work on XML and JSON
UNICORE implementing REST services and may implement JSON if their is a need

Shiraz/JP will review wiki page for tools and/or deployments

> 5) Future meetings
> Discuss December 12th meeting in London.
