[Nml-wg] Minutes of call on Jan 13th

[Jeroen van der Ham]

Hello,

We had a brief call today, attended by Guy Roberts, Jason Zurawski,
Aaron Brown, John MacAuley and myself.

We discussed several items:

* GLIF and OGF attendance
Guy notes that NSI will have a meeting at GLIF, and probably a smaller
meeting at OGF.
Jeroen will attend GLIF, but not OGF.
Jason is trying to get approval to go to OGF, right now of Internet2
only Matt Z. is planning to go to GLIF.
When Jason goes to OGF, he will request some sessions for NML. It looks
like these will probably have more of an outreach nature than continuing
our discussions.

* Status of urn:ogf
As far as Jeroen knows, the request for urn:ogf has been submitted to
the RFC Editor and is currently open for comments.

* Informational Doc
Jeroen's informational document about the translation is submitted,
should appear on the frontpage soon.

* Serial Compound Relations Syntax
Freek put this on the agenda to close our discussion we had on the
mailinglist. We had a too small group to make a decision on this.
It would also help if we had a summary of the discussion until right
now. Freek, could you provide that?

* Examples Repository
Jason and Jeroen have written their examples in the repository. Both
will review the other example soon and provide feedback.

Jason is currently busy reviewing proposals from Roman Łapacz regarding
an improved monitoring solution for AutoBahn, Oscars and others.

Jeroen announces that the Automated GOLE project in GLIF is also
planning to adopt the NML schema for topology descriptions. They are
planning to add topology exchange soon, and perhaps even demonstrate it
at GLIF.

* Next Conference Call
Our next scheduled call would be on January 27th, however at that date
prof. Cees de Laat is giving his oration, so Jeroen is not able to attend.

Would there be any objects to move the NML call to a week later, i.e.
February 3rd? The call would then be scheduled a little later, after the
NMC call, which probably ends around UTC 16:30 = EST 11:30 = 8:30 PDT =
17:30 CET.

Jeroen.
