Topics

We'll make as much progress as we can with the following, but I expect that we will not make it through all of the topics. 

Specifications Issues and cleanup:  

There should be better links to filter and get concise view of the v2.0 issues and pending votes.  The following provides a view of all of the 2.0 issues:

It would be nice if we could figure out how to view only the current proposals open for vote.  If anyone has ideas here chime in. 

AppData  

General discussion and thoughts about scoping but nothing concrete.  This will be added to future agenda

Cross Container Requests

There was some confusion on the use cases where the community started vs. where we ended up from a recommendation perspective.    There were several threads as part of that discussion: 

  • Managing multiple service providers
  • Supporting other types of authorization
  • Consistency with Gadget Registration
  • Portability/Configuration across development/test/production
  • ....

We took the to do to go back and make sure we document all of the use cases with the community (3/18).

OAuth 2

Discussion points:

  • Specification changes required to maintain backward compatability with OAuth 1.0a
  • Talked about Open Source options to provide OAuth 2.0 support (Apache Amber as one future possibility - David will investigate)

We'll revisit more details on this next week
