August 10, 2022

Agenda:

  1. Meeting administration
    1. T3 Guidelines and IP, recording (see above Standing Items).
    2. Roster.
  2. General News / announcements.
    1. T3 has a new network hub at https://www.t3networkhub.org. It is simpler and more open that before so that you can see things without having to sign up.
  3. Project plan vote.
    1. Vote is in progress, vote at https://forms.gle/2vKcHnsGASVNp31c9, vote ends August 12 2022.
    2. Voting is based on
      1. the use case analysis on the wiki
      2. the list of features on the wiki
      3. the project proposal document
    3. Key points:
      1. The project proposal has two deliverables
        1. Ensure that a demonstrator instance of the OCFC Competency Explorer is maintained for the duration of the project.
        2. The incremental evaluation and development (if possible) of enhanced capabilities for competency search and retrieval.
      2. The deliverables will be technology demonstrators, not polished production-level user experiences.
      3. The process is modeled on Feature Driven Development, an agile methodology suitable for such explorative projects.
      4. The feature list is a "wish list" of new capabilities, not all will be implemented. Some will not be feasible given the distributed and heterogeneous nature of the data, level of funding, and various organizations involved. The project will implement some features and identify why others cannot be implemented.
      5. Some important Assumptions and Risks are detailed at the end of the project proposal.
  4. TAW Workgroup Charter
    1. Copy of current charter for comments.
