Meeting agenda

  • Architecture Doc -- APPROVED - 10/29
  • ongoing RFC

    • ConeSearch-1.03 Erratum 2: drop mandatory VOTable version: in WG review, voting to happen at next TCG
    • SSA-1.1 Erratum 1: base URL trailing separator: in WG review, voting to happen at next TCG
• Interop Review - thoughts ??? - Nov 2-4
  • brainstorming and ideas arisen from recent Interop:
    • usage of gather.town, attendance numbers in that particular platform, costs (based on those numbers), not much poster interaction
    • useful splinters following main sessions to let discussion move on (as it happened in presence)
    • split contribution requests for Interop: open call for May, WG/IG setup in November
• Roadmaps
  • https://wiki.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/2021BRoadmap
    • ** reminder to fill it in !!!*
• Publishing Data in the VO
  • That came up at the European Data Providers Forum
  • Has also come up recently in the US
    • from a panel discussion at EDP Forum: keeping providers and VO expertise in touch in a continuous way
    • one step is to continue lowering the entry barrier: the Publishing Data in the VO page, refreshed can be a starting point
    • there was already a similar goal for May 2022 Interop
      • twofold: update wiki and collect skills for a How to Publish in the VO workshop
      • also a demo booth or similar at some event like AAS (Jan. 2023) or IAU (Aug. 2022, clash with 50 years pf CDS) can be pursued (Exec to be alerted for funding/support)
      • specific workshops not to be discarded anyway
    • creation of a small group to review/update the Publishing Data in the VO page
• A Code of Conduct and Certificate of Origin for IVOA software and standards
  • Proposal to facilitate a discussion by adopting this GitHub repository as an IVOA project
  • https://github.com/Zarquan/CodeOfConduct
  • This would provide a forum for discussing the content of the two documents and how we should use them.
  • (Note that an IVOA code of conduct, endorsed by the Exec in 02/2020, already exists - MT)
    • the github repo under Dave's account to be used to start discussion after moving it to ivoa github organisation
    • after integration/check with the current IVOA code of conduct
    • the Code of Conduct should be more visible (than currently is) and should be linked in
      • all repo README(s) [like a codeofcunduct.md containing only a link to the specific document]
      • all announcements of Interop meetings and Interop meetings web pages
    • discussion should be open (that's the reason for ivoa organisation move) and then TCG/Exec should finalise
• CSP
  • Publishing Data in the VO -- update webpage (e.g. point to the new Archi doc). Use on the Newcomers session. Propose a small group to work on that.
    • discussed above
  • Next interop
    • bring to Exec question about May Interop dates and in presence/remote organisation
    • being the Northern Fall 2022 interop in September, it might be better to have the Spring one moved to end of April (25th week), also due to potential clashes in May
• AOB
  • KDD IG vice chair still open
  • CSP vice also is still open
• Next meeting after Interop
  • Wednesday 26 January 2022 @20:00 UTC
