− | '''Subject:''' COSMOS Community Kick off meeting minutes - 10/19/2006.
| + | Agenda: |
− | | + | |
− | '''Attendees:'''
| + | |
− | * Alan Cabrera & Simone Bordet (Simulalabs); Have experience working in apache but are new to eclipse. Interested in open standards and agent api's. not concerned with removal of duplicate technology. open api's are a focus.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * Craig Thomas (Groundwork opensource); Looking to use open source to build interoperable project around open source monitoring; what is missing is an open standards based common model for gathering data. Groundwork is looking forward to progressing the standards and implementation in this space.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * Peter Dorfman (Sybase); Open standards are a big focus for sybase. Monitoring and management is of interest. The agent and data normalization layer is of most interest.
| + | |
− |
| + | |
− | * Don Ebright (Compuware): Cross product integration in system mgmnt with open agent infrastructure, organizing metamodels for exchanging data more real time.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * Oliver Cole (OC Systems); Software Instrumentation around monitoring and understanding what it means to have monitoring data available to be used for modeling.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * Roger Castillo (Alterpoint): Alterpoint is developing eclipse technology in network management and wants to work in cosmos to work on tooling around modeling of networks
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * Valentina Popescu (IBM);Working within the Resource modeling subproject/component
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * Mark Weitzel (IBM); Overall architecture and technical leader for COSMOS within IBM
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * Toni Drapkin (IBM); Overall project leader within IBM focused on COSMOS with linkage to SML working groups.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * Mark Morneault (IBM); Focused on open source within Tivoli brand
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * David Skeen (IBM); Build to manage technical leader within TPTP project.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | '''Note:''' Interested in participating but unable to attend the kick off:

− | * William Vambenepe (HP)
| + | |
− | * Steve Jerman (Cisco)

| + | |
− | | + | |
− | General agreement across the community is that the current state of the proposal is spot on. It is time to move to the next layer of detail around the component / sub-projects.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Keeping the door open around modeling resources will constrain what we see in the first implementation. Alterpoint is looking for anything they can use for modeling, extension, configuration information. ''<need clarification>''.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Within the project scope the term monitor is being used vs. managing. What is meant by monitor and management within COSMOS?
| + | |
− | * Monitor = observation type role
| + | |
− | * Management = control type role
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Within COSMOS we should focus on defining frameworks for the interchange of information. There are a number of standards for gathering the data. We need the framework for monitoring and dealing with the lack of standard interfaces.
| + | |
− |
| + | |
− | Sybase has a real full blown monitoring infrastructure today but they want to see additional capability for developing tools around this in a standard way as they are likely to be needed by others (e.g data center operations).
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | The build to manage description covers alot of possibilities. What is the definition of build to manage for COSMOS?
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | * Provide developers the ability to add instrumentation so it its easy to create models.
| + | |
− | * Further clarification will happen as we work through the use cases
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | '''Action items:'''
| + | |
− |
| + | |
− | Identify use cases for each area as follows:
| + | |
− | * Data collection; Peter, Alan, Roger.
| + | |
− | * Build to Manage use case: Oliver, David
| + | |
− | * Monitor UI: Alan, Mark W. , Peter, Craig
| + | |
− | * Resource Modeling; Valentina, Roger
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Determine what other Eclipse projects have we can leverage and where we need to provide new code.
| + | |
− | * Open: needs an owner with help from one of the community members
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Show which standards will be leveraged by the components
| + | |
− | * Eg. Resource modeling will be in support of SML
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Working with the other Eclipse projects determine what they would like to get out of the running system as input to what we consider as requirements for future projects.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Can we set up a wiki site to use as a staging/collection point for our work vs. using email and the newsgroup?
| + | |
− | * Mark Weitzel to find out if we can do this now or if we need to wait for the create review to happen. *done - see below*
