Open Issues & PRs

Approval of previous meeting minutes & documentation (1)

Meeting Minutes #8

→ Approved

API proposal review (2)

Issue#23

Definition of API response parameters, to be reviewed

To include definitions proposed by Gregory: 

• use "pplDensity" - for predicted population density in a grid cell
• use "minPplDensity" - for minimal predicted population density in a grid cell
• use "maxPplDensity" - for maximal predicted population density in a grid cell

Issue Closed

Issue#24

Authentication/security discussion opened around the usage of 2-3 legged access tokens for this API(s).

• API, as not including personal data (anonymized), is to be considered as a 2-legged access token.
• To review if API specification needs to be modified accordingly Ludovic Robert 

After offline and online discussion, decision is taken on:

• Not modify security schema in the API code, as no different guidance in I&CM group is determined apart from OIDC
• Include clarification text in API documentation, establishing that the usage of this API is determined by CAMARA rules, in this case 2-leggged as no personal data is treated.

Text to be included as RC2

Issue to be closed when merged

PR#25

Solving Issue#12

PR#27

Proposing Release Candidate version (scope freezed).

Only dependant on issue #24 discussions to become stable, any other topic to be fixed before?

Merged

Initial algorithm proposal (3)

Issue#12

→ To provide feedback

Question: how to proceed?

To document that this is just a proposal of algorithm steps that can be considered as reference. It is included in API supporting documents, not binding. → done

Clarify the step of removing non-personal devices from the device count, not using M2M reference → done

Continue offline review

AoB (4)

Meta-release process to be started as soon as version is released. Commonalities adoption may be required. 

Process will be started to include 0.1.0 in Meta-release.
