(cdub, 17:26:58) * dmm suggests that we need to find consensus what the long term direction for core functions are and if people want to work on that, they will, but if others want to pursue a different path, they can (phrobb, 17:28:02) * dmm and regXboi note that currently the ADSAL and MDSAL are better at different tasks (phrobb, 17:34:14) * Madhu notes that ADSAL is easier to use for app-type devs and the MDSAL is richer and more appealing to core ODL developers (phrobb, 17:37:18) * lenrow wants to understand what actual remedies are "in scope" for TSC strong steering? i.e. when should the TSC mandate... (regXboi, 17:38:24) * Lenrow asks for a TSC topic of "what guidance the TSC can or cannot give to the community" (phrobb, 17:38:35) * thomas kee describing his experience with doing a PoC in AD-SAL and then moving to MD-SAL (regXboi, 17:40:50) * ACTION: continue this discussion on the mailing list for another week because no consensus has emerged. (regXboi, 17:41:26) * dmm notes that there is no clear consensus on this topic, so more discussion on the list is needed (phrobb, 17:41:57) * dbainbri asks can we get to consensus with just more discussion on the list? How can we drive to closure? (phrobb, 17:42:42) * :-) (phrobb, 17:43:20) * all recognize that MDSAL is very complex for new app devs wanting to build something for ODL (phrobb, 17:48:10) * cdub notes that we have incubated code and that is what we are releasing and we should consider the release process and what we (the TSC) recommend what goes into them (phrobb, 17:50:29) * dmm suggests getting people together for release-guidelines (possibly for post Helium or later) to explore what those guidelines would be (phrobb, 17:56:36) Meeting ended at 17:58:50 UTC.
