[Pgi-wg] Reminder: Update of some PGI input documents and comment period

[Morris Riedel]

Hi PGI team,

  we agreed in one of the last telcons to have a rather long comment period on the PGI input documents mentioned below in my first
e-mail from 31 of July.

We also discussed to start the discussions from mid + end of September, however, having not yet received any comments, we extend the
group internal comment period until start of October. But then it's really time to proceed with our efforts.

Hence, that means we should have the discussions about this PGI input documents on..

2nd October
16:00 CET

Please plan accordingly and we encourage folks to provide extensive comments in advance so that the telcons can run more
effectively.

Take care,
Morris & Balázs

Subject: [Pgi-wg] Update of some PGI input documents

Hi PGI team,


 some team members of the middlewares ARC, gLite, and UNICORE (AGU) found a
bit time to update their input documents to the PGI process:


(1)
To ensure an open process, we put the updated version into the PGI OGF
space:

A) strawman_rendering (http://forge.ogf.org/sf/go/doc15628?nav=1)

Note that the document has still some limitations such as:
a) job state model is not fully integrated and thus contradicts to the rest
of the rendering document since we also have some inputs for the discussion
of it in the next weeks
b) some formatting glitches: e.g. would be nice to have section headers,
numbered, the table of content contain sections down to level 5.
c) agreements only between ARC, gLite and UNICORE while a broader consensus
with the other interested members of PGI is missing (i.e. GENESIS, EDGES)
and to be discussed
d) still some open questions that should be discussed in the broader PGI
community

B) strawman_functionality (http://forge.ogf.org/sf/go/doc15736?nav=1)

Note that this document only got a minor update.

C) agu_jsdl.xml (http://forge.ogf.org/sf/go/doc15737?nav=1)


Focused on needed functionality - not existing JSDL with extensions.


(2)
Since we don't want to interrupt the currently ongoing fruitful state model
discussions, we expect to continue with them and would suggest that members
of PGI collect feedback about these updated documents over the next
weeks/vacation period.

Once the state model has been reasonable stable we can work on the feedback
of the updated documents together and come to agreements between us all.




(3)
Since we don't like an emerging specification that is not really implemented
we are about to start a reference implementation of it that might be
demonstrated at OGF or other conferences, including its changes following
from the open discussion process among the broader PGI community. 



With kind regards,
