What might be a date in October for TCG? (not to make it too distant from the April one) Agreed on 17-21 October 2022 for now: check calendars and refine/fix later. - TCG roles turnover (for April/May 2022) Review the list, TCG check and think about it before April. KDD chair will prepare a short description of the vice-chair role to be passed on to potential volunteers. RDA already sent it to BB about this, now forwarded it to JE. TJ: besides no extension on DCP roles, DCP vice won't be available to pick up the chair role. BB was alerted, but nothing happened there. - Ongoing RFC/Errata/Notes/VEPs GMS: fine and ready for Exec after new PR updated after RFC comments. EPN-TAP: needs a second pass of document re-shape. Answers to RFC will be posted. Extensions will be moved out of the spec. document into a web page managed by the EPN VESPA project. Review and vote at next TCG. (discussion on ho to report commits, issues from github within the wiki RFC page) SimpleDALRegExt: fine to be sent to Exec. MOC: new PR just published, comments taken into account. Final comments and vote expected by next TCG meeting. ConeSearch erratum 2: approved SSA erratum 2: approved SSA erratum 2: alerted, possibly vote at next Interop UCD List: UCD board working on new terms. Expected to vote on EN approval at April Interop. UAT: wait 2 weeks for document changes and then move on with comments and endorsement. VEP-010 & VEP-011: approved VEP-009: discussion still in progress - WG/IG round table highlights Apps PyVO engagement, Registry requests, TAP+ replacement in astroquery Continues virtual meetings blur the schedule of works There are topics available for Apps to work on, need to figure out which ones to tackle DAL New DataLink WD ADQL working on validators SIAP and SODA reviews to generalise their scope DM Meas/Coords are in good shape, some more effort needed on implementations Need second implementation before RFC or ask for it to the community with RFC in place? Some work remaining in cleaning up the wiki pages. Mapping syntax: syntax is stable, some work needed for the document to be ready. Discussion among authors and then bring it to the community. PhotDM vo-dml ready. Require some better connection with implementation. Profile service is updated there, a 2nd implementation is required. GWS Telco in December. SSO works are continuing with a new proposal (Pat/CADC & MT working on it). SSO doc not ready nor WD, just a memo to start discussion. Dave working on ExecPlannerNote inside ESCAPE project. VOSpace stuck because S.Zorba leaved, need a new leader on the activity. Maybe a telco in 2/3 weeks. Registry Mainly following the roadmap. Work on the registry part of PyVO. Space-time coverage deferred from VODatasService-1.2 one of the next steps. Semantics Had a semantics call vconf. New terms and new vocabularies require attention. Product type vocab should be in shape for DataLink RFC. Object types: keep it in mind when working on documents like ObsCore, maybe EPN-TAP in a future version. EduIG Publishing In The VO efforts. Improving newcomers material, asking for more feedback on this. Please report available material used in demonstrations, need to collect it. ESCAPE VOSChool will take place 3rd week of February. KDIG Chat with G.Capasso (INAF): he's interested in attending the works. Sending a poll to have a meeting before interop to better organise the latter. Ops: MT: nothing more than roadmap Radio: Publication of a new version of the implementation review note. On github the obscore extension has been started. Radio+TD IG meeting held recently: will be reported, efforts on common solution for pulsars and FRB. In February something similar will be done for single dish data. SS: Roadmap stable since last interop List of the instruments and facility, also of interest from PDS Communication: might be that leap seconds will be banished in UTC BC: observation facilities, hired a person, arriving next week in France then move on. Might start out of Steve Joy's collaboration. Theory Interest on SimDB implementation from Paul Harrison and Simon O'Toole Next month maybe a call about it. Some small changes to SimDM required since some time. Restart connection with GWS about science platforms and connected topics. TD Meeting Radio+TD already reported Looking at creating/extracting time series out of radio archives. Extract FRB dynamic spectra from a specific location, or radio light curves for objets. In Australia discussion on event brokers. Some national workshops to get astronomers think about using interop solutions. - CSP report Meeting on Publishing In The VO, to be continued on Friday 27th.
