Governance & Project Management issues

• Agreed concept between CAMARA and GSMA for API Descriptions

  • Presentation by Markus Kümmerle
    

    • Proposal for consistent presentation of API descriptions

      • Updated API categories

      • API names defined in API Backlog table

      • Each API will have an associated API description, based on TM Forum template

    • Tanja de Groot raised point of keeping information up to date. Automation and reuse of information in GitHub preferred.

• Sandbox / Incubated / Graduated Approach for API Repositories

  • ProjectCharter and ProjectStructureAndRoles updated (PR #161 merged)

  • Next Steps:

    • Work on API-Onboarding-and-Lifecycle.md (aka API-Onboarding)

      • not yet started, will be based on Proposal for the lifecycle of API Repositories with Sandbox/Incubated/Graduated/Archived

    • Restructuring/sorting of CAMARA Wiki pages (Independent Sandboxes vs Sub Projects with Incubated API Repositories)

      • see proposal below

    • Define first round of Incubated API Repositories

      • Candidates are all API repositories from Fall24 meta-release which have

    • Question to CAMARA Board: best opportunities to communicate / announce the first round of incubated APIs

  • Proposal for Wiki structure:

    • Requirements

      • Structure will fit for Sub Project with one API Repository and Sub Projects with multiple API Repositories (current structure works only for 1:1)

      • API Repository are first-class citizens beside Sub Projects, not be hidden underneath Sub Projects

      • Graduated and Incubated API Repositories are prominently placed and can be viewed on one glance

      • Sandbox API Repositories are separated into an own section

    • Proposed structure

      • Every API Repository has an own wiki page (similar to current Sub Project pages, with content of README in GitHub)

        • Parent page for the release trackers

        • If part of Sub Project (default for Incubated/Graduated): Link to the Sub Project wiki page for organizational information

        • If an Independent Sandbox: contains all needed information to get involved and contribute

      • Sub Projects Wiki pages

        • have a list of their API repositories

        • all information relevant across the API Repositories (meeting information & minutes, scope of the sub project, list of Maintainers, main contacts, …).

        • there could be an overview of released API versions (based on the release trackers within the API Repositories, so automatically updated)

      • The API Repository wiki pages will be sorted into the three top level sections, following today's “Sub Project” top level. The top level section will be then:

        • Getting Started with CAMARA

        • CAMARA Working Groups

        • CAMARA Sub Projects

        • (Graduated CAMARA API Repositories - to be added later)

        • Incubated CAMARA API Repositories

        • Sandbox API Repositories

        • (Archived API Repositories - to be added later)

API Backlog (Jorge Garcia Hospital)

• No new API proposals forwarded to TSC for todays meeting

• Consent URL API is pending as discussed within last TSC. From ICM 04/12:

  • Identified gap in current CAMARA standard for consent management when captured in a different device than targeted device.

  • TEF proposal focused on creating an ad-hoc mechanism separated from API access token generation.

  • DT proposing a OIDC adapted option (to be reviewed).

  • Proposal (TBC): To create a working group to discuss the most optimal solution ¿?

• Reminder that backlog table is available and updated (weekly):
