Attendees:
Hrabri, Dan, Roger, Peter, and Andreas
1. Minutes taker: Roger
2. Minutes Jan 23rd: accepted
3. Document status: OGF "Status of Business" Document
has favorable mention of DRMAA.
4. Open/general issues discussion
* Discussed inconsistency in IDL spec with some exception
names containing 'drm' whereas others indicate 'drms'.
Determined inconsistency was inherited from other specs
(e.g., errno's) and not worth addressing.
* Rough consensus that Enumerations are an inappropriate
mechanism to identify an attribute to the generic
getter/setter methods, because they are not extensible
for custom attributes. This does not preclude a
language-specific mechanism to obtain a string for
each of the required and optional attribute names.
The IDL-spec should document the required and optional
attribute names, but not specify a mechanism to obtain
the string corresponding to a specific attribute.
* The IDL-spec should discuss the issues to be considered
for setting/getting job template attributes with respect
to different programming language concepts (e.g.,
Object-Oriented with and w/o introspection) and the
different attribute categories (e.g., required, optional,
DRMS-specific).
Peter & Dan to propose text.
5. Other topics
* Discussed attendance at OGF-Manchester.
None of call participants indicated plans to attend.
