  2. Java Update
  3. CSharp Update
  4. Open Discussion


October Code-a-thon Wrap-up

Brian Behlendorf


CSharp Update

Chris Lomonico

  • Reported that he was making progress on the Config store component

Arien Malec

  • Commented that Vassil Peytchev has been checking stuff in on XDS metadata side
  • Indicated that Arien Malec has a working edition of the XDM
  • Recognized that the CSharp team is not making nearly as much progress as the Java team

Vassil Peytchev

  • Suggested they need to do some clean-up with his and George Cole's code checked in

Arien Malec

  • Responded that Vassil Peytchev's work seems pretty configurable
    • Can talk about this off-line

Brian Behlendorf

  • Asked if there is any way to get something to call a 1.0 release of CSharp

Arien Malec

  • Responded that it is so slow on the XDR side that it tough to say

Brian Behlendorf

  • Asked: Any Implementation Geographies interested in a .NET implementation of XD*?

Arien Malec

  • Responded that he will ask during the Implementation Geographies WG call

Umesh Madan

  • Indicated that he had joined the call a later but was present
  • Reported on outcomes from Code-a-thon
    • Learned a few things
    • Good news: Chris Moyer and Umesh Madan completed their interoperability tests
    • Checked in some minor updates
  • Highlighted a missing piece: a web-based Config/UI on top of the existing command line stuff
    • Command line stuff is good for scripting, but not as usable
    • Solicited volunteers to help out with the Config/UI
  • Added that HealthVault is doing their interoperability tests
  • Asked if Chris Lomonico was on the call

Chris Lomonico

  • Responded that he was present
  • Reasserted that he was handling the Config store to hold all the DNS MX/CERTs
    • Plans to have this done by mid-next week

Teresa Black

  • Introduced herself on behalf of Alere
  • Asked what the opportunity was

Arien Malec

  • Responded that the Java team has a really nice web-based Config/UI
    • CSharp has the command line stuff, but is lacking such a component

Umesh Madan

  • Added that this would also upload CERTs, etc.
  • Stated that command line work took Umesh Madan a couple of days to handle
    • For the Config/UI many of the pieces are in place, just has not been touched
    • Working with standard building blocks - does not need to be too fancy
    • Just need a volunteer to assist

Brian Behlendorf

  • Asked what is left before they can put the 1.0 label on the CSharp reference implementation

Umesh Madan

  • Responded primarily what lacks is the Config/UI
    • DNS is handy
  • Indicated that most of these open questions will arise when they get feedback from people
    • They have closed all their open issues from the tracker on the CSharp Reference Implementation page

Greg Meyer

  • Stated that he has been looking at the Maven central repository
    • Getting really close to the 1.0 release

Arien Malec

  • Asserted that aside the Config/UI, the SMTP-Agent HISP model for CSharp is getting close to the 1.0 release as well

Umesh Madan

  • Indicated that he will update the Wiki page by tomorrow's phone call
  • Added that he wants to talk to John Theisen about the setup/MSI stuff
    • John has a single MSI that should be able to install in the entire gateway
    • Gets built in part of the initial build
    • For those of who have spare boxes, they should be able to run this


Java Update

Brian Behlendorf

  • Asked Greg Meyer or Beau Grantham to provide a WG update

Beau Grantham

  • Indicated that the Code-a-thon went really well
  • Stated that the Java side discovered it was lacking some documentation for the agent-HISP
    • Spent a lot of time fixing that
  • Reported that they tried to get a bare metal system at the Code-a-thon
    • Fred Trotter and Mirth Corporation helped out with this
      • Come up with a list of tests
    • Goal was to take a tarball and include James and Jetty
      • Beau Grantham has been able to stand up an EC2 instance

Arien Malec

  • Agreed that they should try to get a standard set of test cases across the board

Greg Meyer

  • Asked about using a Maven plug-in for all of it
    • They would assemble the final tarball
      • Point: Could go through the last steps if the tarball had been installed
      • Developers would not have to start from scratch

Arien Malec

  • Suggested there will be two types of people
    • First type: "Just give me the HISP"
    • Second type: "Yes I want all of the code, but I really want to get up and running"

Beau Grantham

Greg Meyer

  • Suggested they look at what they are gearing up for the 1.0 release
    • Will discuss at the Java Reference Implementation team meeting
  • Asked: How will they submit things to the central service repository?
    • Working with a service provider
  • Suggested that a set of guidelines need to be set-up for all the different projects with the central repository
    • Dependencies should only be within the main repositories, not other repositories
    • Every project now has a snapshot in the main repository
      • This way, for those who are doing their own, you can pull down the snapshot instead of Mercurial
  • Reemphasized that the coming Thursday's Java Meeting purpose is to prepare for the 1.0 release
    • Goal for the 1.0 release = next week
  • Indicated that he is looking to do some artifact changes for the agent and the client
    • Trying to align the naming conventions
      • Not against the rules, but there are better ways to go
    • Aims for no code/interface/package changes

Beau Grantham

  • Added that Mark Bamberg will continue to help with install scripts
    • Some things are still hard-coded in there, but will be cleaned up

Greg Meyer

  • Asked if they may want to keep pulling small bits from the cache
    • Will be pulling all of those down from central

Beau Grantham

  • Clarified that in the next instance they will not likely have that in the cache

Arien Malec

  • Indicated that they will most likely want to pull-in the jars

Greg Meyer

  • Responded that most Java implementations use the palms already
    • If one is doing eclipse from palm, then it will download all the Javadocs as well

Beau Grantham

  • Added that he is trying to clean-up the James configuration
    • Going behind the scenes to do the Telnet updates
    • Will talk to Pat Pyette and Tim Jeffcoat about that

Greg Meyer

  • Added that it would be nice to tool those in through the front-end of the UI

Beau Grantham

  • Stated that is all he had to report


Open Discussion

Brian Behlendorf

  • Raised the GoDaddy.com problem

Arien Malec

  • Responded that the configuration problems need to be addressed
  • Issue #1: Small practice problem
    • DNS allows a sub-domain to have a NS record
    • Typical HISP wants to be able do routing, the CERT records, and make all things work
    • Want to be able to say: Do X and everything will work
      • Easiest way: Assign the NS records for your sub-domains to you HISP
      • Does not work best with GoDaddy.com
    • Option #1: List all of the records in a registry and using a different Web Hosting service
      • Such as suggesting they switch from GoDaddy.com to something like 1and1.com
    • Option #2: Changing around the code to work with GoDaddy.com
    • Option #3: Elegant path not yet discovered
    • Goal: Instructions for how to exactly set-up
  • Issue #2: Large Institutions
    • How do you configure DNS for a large healthcare institution (ex. the VA) that manages its own DNS
      • Could assign all the NS records themselves and also do all the pointing

Umesh Madan

  • Asked about the little guy for who this out of their control

John Moehrke

  • Asked for clarification if they were talking about DNS CERT issues
  • Asked if this would not raise concerns regarding anti-trust

Arien Malec

  • Commented that regardless, they need to have recommendations for small practices as well as large institutions
    • Guide for I want to use a HISP and use DNS, how do I do it?
    • Guide for I want to be my own HISP and use DNS, how do I do it?

Brian Behlendorf

  • Stated that he is generally not in favor of supporting conventions that are not as implementable with multiple vendors

Arien Malec

  • Added that a special purpose domain just seems not as favorable

John Moehrke

  • Commented that is not a good way to raise the social trust

Arien Malec

  • Agreed with John Moehrke
    • Did not want to spend too much more time on this
  • Summarized that tomorrow the CSharp team will put together the plan for 1.0 release for parts 1 and part 2

Beau Grantham

  • Added that the Java team will be doing that on Thursday, but very close

Arien Malec

  • Stressed that the WG needs to complete remaining items
    • Then move toward supporting the implementation geographies' pilot implementations
