OpenC2 Happenings for week of 10 October 2018

General Announcements

Specification Development: MARCHING TOWARD PUBLIC REVIEW!

The editors and co-chairs are working toward having our three core specifications (the Language Specification, plus one actuator profile and one transfer specification) ready to move to initial public review by mid-October.Â

CSD ballots have concluded for the next versions of the Stateless Packet Filter AP and the HTTPS Transfer Specification. Both documents received CSD approvals with 22 Yes votes. The editors will address the ballot comments on the way to planned CSDPR approval at the 10/17 TC meeting; there will be structural changes to improve alignment among the three specifications, but no substantive changes. The Secretary will then request OASIS to publish the CSDs.

The Language SC received excellent feedback from last week's face-to-face meeting, and is working to complete the WD08 package of the Language Specification. As approved at the September TC meeting, a CSD ballot will open shortly and will close on the date of the October TC meeting.

At the October TC meeting, the intent is call for objections for the 3 CSDs to become Committee Specification Drafts for Public Review (CSDPRs) and that the TC initiate a public review.ÂÂ

Please contribute!

TC Public Sites "Face Lift"

The TC co-chairs are seeking the assistance of all TC members to give our public presence a face lift prior to the upcoming submission of CSDPR candidates to OASIS. Any assistance is welcome, including review & comment on our TC page at OASIS, suggestions for improving the organization of the Google Drive, etc. Public code repo maintainers are requested to work on updating their code to align with the current version of the Language Specification.

A drawing identifying the sites in question and their approximate linkages can be found here:ÂÂhttps://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1I33P-jTMqVca3nzVwPLCeLmlebIxCcEDscPlKW_A7DY/edit
