Action Item Review

Rule concerning previous meeting minutes approval: If no issue explicitly raised the meeting minutes are considerate as validated.

API Backlog

• Name proposals and initial maintainers for already approved sub projects:

  • Population Density Data - see https://lists.camaraproject.org/g/tsc/message/88

    • Approved
    • OK to proceed with the working group
      • Possibly another maintainer from Orange
  • Short Message Service - see https://lists.camaraproject.org/g/tsc/message/87
    • Approved
    • OK to proceed with the working group
• Proposed agreement (as already practised for some sub project proposals):
  • Decision about names & maintainer lists for already approved sub projects will be taken in lazy consensus if there there are no objections or additional nominations on the TSC mailing list within 48 hours
    • OK - no comment from the group
• Proposed agenda topic by Nick Venizia in https://lists.camaraproject.org/g/tsc/message/90
  • Recommendation: Need to be discussed first in API Backlog to get a first feedback. Normally discussion in TSC cames after this first discussion in API Backlog

Commonalities

• Reports given by Ludovic and Eric
• Important updates:
  • Progress with linting, adaption ongoing by sub projects
  • Work move forward for Test Case as some company provided comment on issue Test definitions - implementations guidelines and artifacts · Issue #94 · camaraproject/Commonalities (github.com)
    • Shilpa offered to create a short Camara-API-Testing-Guidelines.md doc 
• Call for action (mains)
  • Version 0.2.0 of documents and artefacts available. Sub project are asked to state to which release they are compliant.
• Issue about X-Correlator (Set X-Correlator as Required in OAS Definition, X-Version removed by jlurien · Pull Request #115 · camaraproject/Commonalities (github.com)) as we have a consensus.
  • This will not go in release 0.2 but next release
• Shilpa mentioned the CAMARA_common.yaml  PR (Update and rename CAMARA_common.json to CAMARA_common.yaml by shilpa-padgaonkar · Pull Request #107 · camaraproject/Commonalities (github.com)) that define common data types for CAMARA APIS
  • Probable impact on some API
• Eric raised the point about tagging the issue related to input from the End_User council.
  • We need to think about it.

A lot of works has been in Commonalities this year

Identity & Consent Management

• Report given by Diego
• Documentation update with securitySchemes final agreement.
  
  • PR: https://github.com/camaraproject/IdentityAndConsentManagement/pull/93. Comment by Eric has been considered as an addition, Client Credentials now appearing as an option
  • Release 0.1.0 to be made available once former point is merged
• Issue about adding further clarification for scenarios where user consent is not given (PR#86 Auth code flow update to fix issue #70 by jpengar · Pull Request #86 · camaraproject/IdentityAndConsentManagement (github.com))
• Issue about securitySchemes final agreement (Documentation update with securitySchemes final agreement by jpengar · Pull Request #93 · camaraproject/IdentityAndConsentManagement (github.com) ) we are on final steps before validation
  • Jan mentioned the issue Claims to be used in oAuth Access tokens/ OIDC Identity tokens · Issue #100 · camaraproject/IdentityAndConsentManagement (github.com)
    • It could be resolved by documentation. This is not a showstopper for the release 0.1 - Then we can solve this one and release 0.2.
• Question about how we can proceed for CAMARA Profile - Do we want to use existing one or build one. 
  • Diego think it's better to craft our own profile (and filling gap from OIDF one) in order to move faster.
  • Shilpa agreed on this and making a combination from FAPI2 assets & new from CAMARA

Release Management

• Important updates:
  • Ludovic & Casey raised the point that we're missing Release Manager and we need 2
    • José highlighted that this role need a lot of dedication and probably not fdar from a full time job so not easy to find someone in the team
    • First: This point must be raised to the board (Herbert will do)
    • Then - alternatively  - Casey mail about looking for volunteer could be also send to the complete member list
      • Training sessions has been recorded
      • If struggling to find links then Casey can help.
• Calls for actions
  • The working group is seeking two volunteers to take on the role of Community Release Manager: https://lists.camaraproject.org/g/release/message/6
  • (Where to distribute the request?)
  • Currently no volunteers

Open Issues in Governance

• #113 Clarity on who are allowed to create new issues in Commonalities and TSC
  • Herbert ok with Jan proposal
  • OK for the team - Herbert will create a PR
• #100 Provide a user-friendly snapshot for CAMARA users and developers
  • Herbert showed the need backlog table proposal
    • Ludovic raised an issue about Device Location 
      • Ludovic/José will craft a PR to solve this.
      • Tanja proposed to align family name with subproject name
      • We can drop this Family concept
      • Tanja also raised that we need also to improve how we find CAMARA assets by some automated scripts.
        • Mark said that Daniel has done some scripting.
• #84 Change Working Groups into Sub Projects
  • "Working Group" or "Sub Project"?
    • They are still "Working Groups", as they are affecting multiple API Sub Projects. Sub Projects is reserved term for API projects
    • Commonalities → Working Group with own repository for their documents and artefacts
    • Release Management → dito
    • Identity & Consent Management → dito
    • Marketing Working Group → Will get "Outreach Committee", no own repository, but material complete in Wiki?
  • Update of project documents to reflect that.

AOB

• Meeting on 1st Thursday within 2024 will be skipped (as agreed within last TSC meeting)
• Next meeting will be on 3rd Thursday, so on January, 18th, 2024
