From mcconnell at dpml.net Sat Oct 13 14:03:20 2007 From: mcconnell at dpml.net (Stephen J. McConnell) Date: Sun, 14 Oct 2007 06:33:20 +0930 Subject: [modules-discuss] questions on status In-Reply-To: <1189284179.6213.188.camel@gloria> References: <1189284179.6213.188.camel@gloria> Message-ID: <1192309400.5956.47.camel@gloria> To the 277 community at large: Some questions on status: (a) The comments below reference a pending strawman document, however, about 5 months ago another strawman document was referenced (the service and service provider support document) but that document was restricted to EG members pending Sanley Ho's resolution of JCP rules via a request for clarification to the JCP PMO. I would like to know if the JCP PMO raised any issues that would prevent publication, and if so, what those issues were? (b) Will the interoperability strawman be subject to the same closed review process or can we expect imminent publication without legal constraint? (c) Have any actions been taken to eliminate the requirement for people interested in JSR 277 to accept the license constraints associated with the initial draft specification document (this has been and remains an issue in terms of engaging a broader FOSS community in the evaluation of the 277 work)? In particular - can be look forward to the publication of the second edition of the draft specification under the GPL? (d) Is anyone on the 277 EG working with the IcedTea project to establish an installable modules prototype? In my opinion a working distribution of the modules system would be very valuable and generate a greater level of community involvement. Cheers, Steve. On Fri, 2007-09-07 at 13:27 +0930, Stanley M.
