Technical Steering Committee

  • EasyCLA introduction
    • EasyCLA activation on all repositories end of August (postponed to not disturb the meta-release activities during vacation period where only a few Codeowners are available)
    • Please be prepared and initiate your CLA signing and/or approval by your company with a test PR in https://github.com/camaraproject/EasyCLA
  • API Backlog 
    • Repository for NumberRecycling was created (work to be started)
    • DeviceStatus gets two new API repositories for Device Quality Indicator and Device Data Volume
  • Commonalities
    • Second release candidate of Commonalities in preparation, with some bugfixes (see Bug fixes to be included in rc.2)
    • Decision taken within TSC about mandatory and optional endpoints within APIs:
      • An API Provider must implement all mandatory endpoints of an API and should implement the optional feature endpoints
      • Mandatory endpoints MUST not define 501 as a valid response
      • Optional endpoints should be avoided in the API definition by splitting an API into distinct YAML if resources are independent
      • Optional feature endpoints which can't be split into own API YAML should define 501 (NOT_IMPLEMENTED) as a valid response
  • Identity & Consent Management (ICM)
    • Second release candidate of of IdentityAndConsentManagement 0.2.0 is available (r0.2.0-rc.2 )
    • One change impacts all APIs: the mandatory text within the Info.description about Authorization and Authentication has been updated in the second release candidate. Please update your APIs proactively (Release Management is also checking this point)
  • Release Management 
    • Aug 15th: final closing date for approved M3 release PRs (with release candidates) - submit by Aug 10th to allow for release management review.
    • Aug 26th: latest date that APIs should provide their final release PRs (with the public API version, either initial or stable)
    • TSC on Sep 5th shall make final decisions on meta-release participation and stable status

      • 20 release-candidates APIs by 14 Sub Projects have been provided and are under release management review.
      • 1 SimpleEdgeDiscovery API and 4 DeviceStatus APIs have passed M3. M3 pre-releases can be used by implementors for testing and feedback.
    • M3 cut-off date for review requests of API release PRs is Aug 10th. 
    • M4 - Sub Projects can start to prepare their final release PR for the public API versions. M4 target date: 08-30.
  • Next steps
    • All Sub Projects that want to participate in the meta-release are asked to prepare their release PR, including
      • creating API release trackers for their APIs under their wiki pages,
      • preparing their API readiness checklist items
      • requesting release PR review by the Release Mgmt team by including "@release-management_maintainers" in the PR as a reviewer
