Minutes

1. Open Action Items - Lawrence Mandel

2007-07-10 - John will look at CodeHaus to try and find the license for 
the Woodstox jar.
2007-07-17
John: The problem is with the API jar not the wstx jar. I reported this 
problem on the latest WS board report.
Lawrence: There are a couple options. We can follow up with Axiom to see 
if they've done the due diligence for this library. Two, we can try to 
move to the Geronimo StAX API but in this case we'll need to ensure Axiom 
plays well with the Geronimo API.
2007-08-07
John: No progress yet. I'm going to follow up with the Woodstox and Axiom 
projects to see what they've done to reconcile the license.
2007-08-14
John: I'm about to post to the Apache WS list and will cross post a couple
other relevant lists to try and solicit more information. Someone should 
know how Axis2 redistributes this jar.
Lawrence: It was suggested that we use the Geronimo StAX API but I don't 
think this is an option as Axis2 and Axiom use the StAX API and we don't 
know what kind of problems this will create.
2007-08-21
John: I sent an e-mail to axis and commons-dev lists today about this.
2007-08-28
John: I didn't get a response from the Axiom developers. I asked whether 
Axiom would work with the Geronimo API. I'm going to test Woden with the 
Geronimo jar and if that works I'll suggest to Axiom that they change and 
see what they think.
[action] John will test Woden with the Geronimo API jar.
2007-08-18
John: I dug up an old thread on this that didn't have a resolution. I 
think the next place to go is legal-discuss.
Lawrence: If the test with Geronimo's API jar is successful we should 
suggest to other projects to test as well. I think it's a better story to 
reuse code from Apache where possible.
2007-10-02
John: I did some testing with the Geronimo API jar. It works fine with 
Woden. I'm going to send a note today to ws-commons stating these results 
and seeing if Axiom can move to the Geronimo API. Axis2 is dependent on 
the StAX API jar because of Axiom.
2007-10-09
John: This is no longer an issue as Axiom has moved to Geronimo.
Lawrence: Great work in getting this resolved John! I think it's always a 
better story to consume projects from the same organization where it makes 
sense. In this case, getting Axiom on Geronimo's StAX API jar provides a 
big benefit for Woden.
Closed.


2007-05-22 - John will document the Woden decision making and development 
processes on the Woden site.
2007-06-19
John: No progress.
2007-06-26
John: I'll revisit this in another week after I'm made some further 
progress on the Woden extensions.
2007-07-10
John: No progress.
2007-07-17
John: No progress. I don't think I'll have a chance to take care of this 
action this week.
2007-08-07
John: No progress. I think what's needed here is what a new developer 
would need to get involved. Using Jira and the mailing list. Using the W3C
test suite. Open development. Milestones. I haven't had a chance to look 
at the Apache documentation to see what exactly is required.
Lawrence: I'll look at the requirements and put up a skeleton document 
that we can all work to fill in.
2007-08-14
Lawrence: I posted the skeleton doc last night.
Dan: I've started some documentation that I can contribute to this page.
2007-08-21
John: I haven't committed Dan's documentation for build and test yet. I'll
probably apply it this week.
2007-08-28
Lawrence: I filled in most of this document. John said he can handle the 
source code conventions.
John: Yes. Tomorrow I'm going to apply Dan's patches including his 
documentation.
Lawrence: Great. Please read through the doc and make any changes you 
think necessary and this action should be complete.
2007-09-18
John: I've been testing Dan's change to modularize the build. Once I'm 
done I can commit the changes.
Dan: I've included a patch for the XML file from the Web site that 
contains the updates.
2007-10-02
John: I can't commit Dan's doc updates until I finish the Jira associated 
with the build changes. I need to review and possibly add to Dan's 
changes.
Lawrence: I reviewed Dan's doc changes and had a couple suggestions, which
he's already addressed. The source code section also needs to be filled 
in.
[action] John will fill in the source code section with Java coding 
conventions.
2007-10-09
John: This is still waiting on Woden-67. I'm working on this now. I'm 
having trouble getting a clean Axis2 build to test the changes.


2007-10-02 - John will fill in the source code section with Java coding 
conventions.
2007-10-09
John: I'll take care of this after I finish applying Dan's changes from 
Woden-67.


2007-10-02 - John will create a page describing the API, XmlSchema, and 
array concerns and open Jiras for each concern.
2007-10-09
John: I'll take care of this after I finish with Woden-67 and the 
documentation.


2. Milestone 8 (M8) Status - John Kaputin

John: No new progress. I'm currently working on Woden-67.


3. Graduation from Incubation - Lawrence Mandel

Lawrence: We're down to just one item left before we can propose 
graduation. We need to complete the documentation. After that we can 
propose graduation. I think the process is to have a Woden vote, then a WS 
PMC vote to accept Woden, and then an incubator PMC vote to allow Woden to 
graduate.


4. Development Discussion - All

John: I committed Sagara's latest patches and haven't heard anything more 
yet.


5. Other Business - All

No other business raised.


Thanks,

Lawrence Mandel
