| − | + | == Discussion on Metamodel Description: == | |
| + | Benjamin has updated the metamodel description on the Wiki with an introduction and purpose. No specific comments yet. Benjamin will send a note out to the mailing list to encourage review and comments. http://wiki.eclipse.org/Machine-to-Machine/M2MIWG/M2M_meta-model | ||
| − | + | Question came up on whether the metamodel is intended for use in the tooling for application integration and development, or also for defining device parameters and data interface to external systems? Benjamin responded that it is intended primarily for application development but once defined it could also be used for open interface integration. | |
| − | + | ||
| − | + | ||
| − | + | ||
| − | + | A request was made to include an example of instantiating the metamodel. Benjamin was agreeable to this but said he cannot get to it until after EclipseCon. | |
| − | + | == Discussion on Scenarios/Problems Description: == | |
| + | A proposed format and examples for the Scenarios and related Problems are now on the Wiki. Arlen was OK with format and will add some relevant scenarios. Scott will send a note out to the mailing list to encourage review, comments and contributions. http://wiki.eclipse.org/Machine-to-Machine/M2MIWG/M2M_Scenarios | ||

| + | *M2M Sandbox Server: This is running now. Access control needs to be addressed. Ian will try to get someone from Eclipse IT to the F2F meeting. Arlen has some simple start-up documentation he will provide. | ||
| − | * | + | == Agenda for EclipseCon meeting == |
| − | * | + | Scott will update Wiki with items discussed today. |

| − | * | + | *Benjamin will add a preamble to the wiki page to describe in more details the purpose of the meta-model |
| − | * | + | *Peter: how about devices and sensors acting as data feeds? |
| − | * | + | *Arlen: it is more about devices and brokers than devices and servers. |
| − | + | *Scott: oBIX may be a good model to describe data. Arlen had use cases with oBIX and MQTT. | |

| − | * | + | *Scott: should we engage a couple of vertical areas? |
| + | *Benjamin: standardization may not be the next important thing to focus on while we don't have much to share | ||
| + | *IBM and Eurotech are pushing MQTT to OASIS anyway, but the question is: would MQTT make sense for other standards orgs such as ETSI? | ||

Discussion on Metamodel Description:
Benjamin has updated the metamodel description on the Wiki with an introduction and purpose. No specific comments yet. Benjamin will send a note out to the mailing list to encourage review and comments. http://wiki.eclipse.org/Machine-to-Machine/M2MIWG/M2M_meta-model
Question came up on whether the metamodel is intended for use in the tooling for application integration and development, or also for defining device parameters and data interface to external systems? Benjamin responded that it is intended primarily for application development but once defined it could also be used for open interface integration.
A request was made to include an example of instantiating the metamodel. Benjamin was agreeable to this but said he cannot get to it until after EclipseCon.
Discussion on Scenarios/Problems Description:
A proposed format and examples for the Scenarios and related Problems are now on the Wiki. Arlen was OK with format and will add some relevant scenarios. Scott will send a note out to the mailing list to encourage review, comments and contributions. http://wiki.eclipse.org/Machine-to-Machine/M2MIWG/M2M_Scenarios
Updates on Project work:
- Koneki: team is working to be part of Juno release stream
- Paho: C code available now. Java code ready and is getting new package names before release.
- M2M Sandbox Server: This is running now. Access control needs to be addressed. Ian will try to get someone from Eclipse IT to the F2F meeting. Arlen has some simple start-up documentation he will provide.
Agenda for EclipseCon meeting
Scott will update Wiki with items discussed today.
- Sandbox access control
- Discussion around a 2012 focus on “user experience” with Koneki, Paho and Sandbox.
- Participants should add themselves to the dedicated wiki page

M2M meta-model
(note from Benjamin: sorry that I likely did forget to write down some of the discussions around the model, feel free to complete!)
- Benjamin will add a preamble to the wiki page to describe in more details the purpose of the meta-model
- Peter: how about devices and sensors acting as data feeds?
- Arlen: it is more about devices and brokers than devices and servers.
- Scott: oBIX may be a good model to describe data. Arlen had use cases with oBIX and MQTT.
M2M app anatomy, scenarios
- Arlen and Scott will provide a first draft of the description of data manipulation: how to send it, how to receive it...
Chairperson
- Ian reminds that the chairperson is setting meetings agendas, and running the meetings
- The chairperson must be from a strategic or enterprise member company, and only IBM is falling into this category
- Scott to take the chairperson role
- It is suggested that the chairperson (and co-chairs if any) should be renewed every year
Agenda for EclipseCon meeting
- The meeting could start earlier if needed (even though there's the keynote in the morning)
- There will be a couple of newcomers (QNX, Thingworx, ...), maybe it'd make sense to present them the activities of the Group during the BoF and use the F2F meeting
- The main topics would be the M2M meta-model and marketing.
- Participants should add themselves to the dedicated wiki page
Paho update
- Dave to post update regarding ETA of the Paho initial contribution on paho-dev mailing-list.

- It is very data-centric atm (which was identified has something very important during the IWG kick-off though)
- Members are encouraged to review it and provide feedback
- Koneki team will provide a first implementation of the meta-model in EMF (hopefuly this week) ; and then tooling to edit model instances
M2M developers hub
- Drupal instance has been set up
- Ian to send credentials to Andy
- Ian to send an e-mail to the mailing list to initiate discussions regarding graphical design (Arlen already mentioned that Robert from Eurotech could work on a logo ; Sierra graphical designer could work on UX ; ... )
- EclipseCon will be the occasion to discuss when we want to put the site online (e.g. soft launch asap or wait until a more complete chain has been implemented?)

- Recruiting update
Charter review
- Get rid of the tentative roadmap section because it is stale in terms of timeline and we now have a dedicated roadmap document
- Membership rules: two different levels of membership so as it is still meritocracy based even though the group is open to everyone
- Is 2 ppl the right number of full-time appointed resources needed to be part of the steering committee?
- "Appoint at least 2 developers/technical resources to contribute to the creation of M2M WG technologies" means that resources can also work on sponsored projects
- Everybody agrees on the way membership rules are formulated
- What would be the requirements in terms of advocacy?
- Ian to propose something going in this direction
- Is 2 ppl the right number of full-time appointed resources needed to be part of the steering committee?
- Creation could (should) happen on Dec. 8th (since review started Nov. 8th)
- The list of initial members of the Steering Committee has to be finalized by then
- Mike and Scott suggest to send a remainder so as more people can have a chance to look at the charter
- Mike reminds that any Eclipse Fdn member meeting the participation requirements is in.
- Scott: we're not in a hurry to formally start the WG.
- Sierra Wireless, IBM and Eurotech to internally confirm that they want/will be part of the SC.
Roadmap
- Programming model
- Benjamin: more than programming model, what we certainly want to mention an "application model" (contract between embedded and server: description of data exchanged, communication interfaces, …)
- Patrick to have a look and see internally if Band XI would be interested
- Benjamin to provide more information regarding this model topic.
Face-to-face meeting
- Date of 31st Jan. in IBM Hursley still on
Recruitment
- Ian to come back to the handful of interested parties to see what would be their timeframe to join and see how that fits with the tentative launch date of Dec, 8th.

Attendees
- Benjamin Cabé (Sierra Wireless)
- Scott DeDeugd (IBM)

- Recruitment
- Mosquitto setup
Review of the first draft of the roadmap
- Overview and background
- Ian: we should define M2M better in the first section
- Ian: is the roadmap only related to Eclipse projects?
- Ian: highlight that we want to build an industry consortium
- Basic Principles
- Arlen: the feedback on MQTT recent announcements is that ppl think that everybody seems to pick his specific protocol and promote it / try to turn it into a standard
- Mike & Arlen: we are fine with existing protocols (recent discussion about DNP 3.0 in MQTT google group), we don't aim at replacing them. We want to be above existing protocols.
- There are questions still open in this section. Let's keep them as is and put the roadmap draft on the wiki.
- Arlen: use cases definition is a difficult task ; especially if we have carriers involved (difficult to end up with use cases which are not too generic)
- M2M vision, purpose & scope
Mike reminds that the charter is not final yet. We are in a 30-day period where the community can give feedback. Even after that period of time, updates to the charter are still possible though. The M2M Industry Working Group is part of an Open Source Foundation: we are looking at code contributions, not ending up with standards/open standards.
- Ian: detail as much as possible where we want to go. What would be the success criteria for Koneki, for Paho
- Synchronize the roadmap of individual projects / be sure they are in sync with the global roadmap of the IWG itself.
- Mike: if Mosquitto is going to be hosted at Eclipse, it has to be in the scope
- Ian: we should have a bottom-up approach --> "Here is what we want to accomplish, do you want to help us?"
- Mike: need to have short iterations if possible
- Near term direction
- Everybody agrees that 12-18 months is a good duration (revision of the roadmap in ~6 months if needed)
- Ian: roadmap v1.0 will have to be voted (as well as how to revise it)
- Roadmap process:
- Mike: say that we solicit feedback from the community, but mentioning that the steering committee will have to vote/approve changes
Face-to-face meeting
- suggested date is Jan. 31st, in IBM Hursley
- TBC before Christmas.
Recruitment
- Members of the IWG discussed about companies that might be interested in joining the IWG (and becoming members of the EF)
- Recruiting universities and research institutes would be very valuable: they could run their projects as Eclipse projects…
Mosquitto setup at Eclipse
- Ian and Arlen still need to setup a meeting with Eclipse webmasters (user management, ACL, …)
