| | 6 | ==== Description ==== |
| | 7 | |
| | 8 | This meeting will seek agreement on a proposed single common RSpec |
| | 9 | format for GENI. In order to truly allow interoperability among |
| | 10 | multiple control frameworks and aggregates, GENI requires a common |
| | 11 | language for describing resources, resource requests, and |
| | 12 | reservations - a single, well defined RSpec schema. Currently, each |
| | 13 | control framework has its own custom schema, often evolved |
| | 14 | incrementally as needs have changed. Over the years, the community |
| | 15 | has met to discuss the various alternative approaches, and their |
| | 16 | relative merits. But now it is time to make a decision and move |
| | 17 | forward. In recent weeks that discussion has become more |
| | 18 | focused. Several key stakeholders have debated various |
| | 19 | alternatives. In this meeting, they will present a proposal for a |
| | 20 | way forward resulting from this discussion, the alternatives, and |
| | 21 | open the meeting for discussion. |
