OSAF/CSG Recalibration Meeting

Purpose:

Several of the original Westwood project goals have been mooted by changes at OSAF (in architecture, in getting off to a slow start), changes in the environment (death of CAP, new commercial vendor policies) and by the evolving needs of CSG members. At the same time, OSAF believes substantial progress has been made and considerable momentum built towards an ecology of a PC client, web client, and server which will meet, and in some cases exceed, the original aspirations.

Given these factors, time frames of likely delivery, and institutional needs, the purpose of the meeting will be to set a direction where we go from here.

Goals:

  • Create a new strategic roadmap for OSAF software deliverables to CSG based on current OSAF architecture and development plans and CSG institution needs.
  • Determine what it will take to ensure that OSAF goals continue to be aligned with CSG needs.
  • Determine which portions of the above are "in scope" of original Westwood grant and which represent expansion of scope. We hope it would be non-controversial that Blackberry client software support for an open calendar standard would, should it be desired, for instance, would be seen by all as an expansion of the original scope.

Proposed meeting agenda:

  • 1-day, noon-noon held at OSAF in San Francisco in June or July August -- participants to include from CSG some combination of WAC members, technical specialists, those with strong interest
  • Review the current status of the Chandler/Westwood project and plans for the next year, as they stand. Address issues of CSG perception of widening gap between current state of development and goals. Specifically:
    • Chandler 0.6 (fall)
    • Candler 0.7 (approximately 4-6 months after 0.6)
    • Cosmo (server) - 12 month plan
    • Scooby (web client) - 12 month plan
    • prospects for support for mobile devices
  • Develop consensus around current major requirements of CSG members in the calendaring and PIM space. If the CSG members are unable to to arrive at a consensus, ascertain the major clusters of competing or conflicting needs.
  • Review how representatives of member institutions participate in the project, including but not limited to the Westwood Advisory Council, so that CSG requirements can be effectively be gathered, vetted, and used to drive product specifications and deployment
  • Determine concrete next steps
