Comment: draft 26th June minutes

...

Historical note: the minutes for the previous project, the CVII Tech Stack, can be found here: CVII Technology Stack meeting notes

26th June 2024

Agenda:

  • Playground Kanban "stand-up meeting": In-progress task status, major new items
  • Docker: I have been working on integrating the IoTDB Data Quality library and Grafana. That raises some questions about configuration of Docker containers and the source for the parts we integrate. That may be worth a discussion to get some feedback. Particularly from the BMW team who may be doing similar work at the moment.
  • @Swen Schisler (Endava) mentioned last week wanting to discuss some of his proposal to the CVI group
  • AoB


Minutes:

  • One possible set of container images for the Playground compose:
    • Image1: iotdb
    • Image2: VISSR
    • Image3: playground-tools/extras
      • Knowledge Connector
        • Info Layer
          • Realm backend widget
        • Knowledge

19th June 2024

Agenda:

  • Playground Kanban "stand-up meeting": In-progress task status, major new items
  • GM uProtocol Simulator update: two weeks ago GM said they would update us on progress of dockerising the simulator. This would also be an opportunity to advance the integration discussion.
  • Continuation of the two topics @Ulf proposed last time and briefly introduced
    • Playground documentation structure
    • Proposal for integration of VISS into the Knowledge Layer connector
  • AoB


Minutes:

  • Playground Kanban stand-up
    • 0.1.0 blog will be published any day now.
    • Steve reports that he has introduced COVESA and the Playground project to the Apache IoTDB community. Received positive interest in the Playground and willingness to support IoTDB.
  • GM were scheduled to update us on the uProtocol Simulator but no GM representatives attended.
  • Continuation of the two topics @Ulf proposed last time and briefly introduced
    • Playground documentation structure
      • Ulf described his proposed updates to layout of the landing page and organising the examples.
      • Screenshot: Ulf-CDSP-doc-layout.png
      • Steve described original was modelled after the Docker landing page which does a nice job of enabling both newcomers and experts: https://docs.docker.com/
      • Ulf's point about seperating the user/ref manuals of the core components would be useful
    • Proposal for integration of VISS into the Knowledge Layer connector
      • Agreement that the pluggable architecture in the WS component for DBs would allow Ulf to attach some of his idea, e.g. he feels he could use OVDS to attach VISS in the cloud.
      • Discussion of other aspects
  • AoB
    • Swen mentioned he could discuss some of his ideas for his project next week

12th June 2024

Agenda:

  • Playground Kanban "stand-up meeting": In-progress task status, major new items
  • @Christian Mühlbauer @Haonan Qiu will present their idea of a Knowledge Layer connector example
  • AoB
    • @Ulf has proposed two agenda items today:
      • Playground documentation structure
      • Proposal for integration of VISS into the Knowledge Layer connector
    • If there is time at the end of the meeting we can get an overview with a view to progressing discussion next week and or in slack

5th June 2024

Agenda:

  • Playground Kanban "stand-up meeting": In-progress task status, major new items
  • uServices mocker integration discussion with GM team
  • Time permitting or uServices discussion does not proceed: Knowledge Layer connector example
  • AoB

Minutes:

  • Playground Kanban stand-up
    • Steve has made the 0.1.0 release. Currently working with COVESA marketing to publicise
  • uServices Mocker discussion
    • Halim set the big picture. Mocker in question is the Eclipse uProtocol Simulator. Mocker seems a good fit for the concept of the Playground.
      • From project README.md: The up-simulator is a user-friendly web tool designed to make developing uProtocol services and Apps on PCs easy. Its intuitive interface empowers users with features such as Publish-Subscribe, RPC invocation, and the simulation of COVESA Vehicle Services. With a focus on a user-friendly graphical interface (GUI), users can easily navigate through the development and testing phases of uProtocol Apps, ensuring a smooth experience from start to finish.
    • GM engineers demonstrated the simulator for uProtocol and vsomeip traffic.
    • Halim: whilst the simulator supports uProtocol and uServices it can be used to simulate pure SOME/IP traffic.
    • Steve: as the simulator already exists it seems to be a question of how the 'tool' would be integrated and connected to other components to add value. Is it containerised?
    • Simulator is implemented in Python, but not yet containerised.
    • Halim suggests that GM containerises the simulator and that is then used to guage wider interest. This seems like a sensible way forward.
    • Halim: there will be a company stop in around a month for a summer break, so I would like to push the GM team to make some progress in the next two weeks. Let's plan for a progress update from the GM team in the Data Arch call for 19th June.
  • Knowledge Layer Connector example
    • Ran out of time. Pushed back to next week.

29th May 2024

Agenda:

  • Playground Kanban "stand-up meeting": In-progress task status, major new items
  • Knowledge Layer connector
  • GM uServices mocker meeting next week
  • AoB


Minutes:

  • Playground Kanban
    • After discussion with Arnaldo decision taken to move https://github.com/COVESA/cdsp/issues/15 back to the backlog as its currently more narrowly defined as being about Realm as a backend to VISSR. Work on Realm support for other use is currently a part of the Knowledge Connector.
    • Steve has started on the 0.1.0 release. After that he may continue with the work on Grafana and IoTDB data quality functions.
    • BMW have started public work on the Knowledge Connector in their fork.
  • Steve has confirmed with Halim that we will discuss integration of the GM uServices mocker into the Playground in next weeks call.
  • AoB
    • Paul asks for input on marketing projects for outreach
      • Steve: I have been talking to Mary about utilising the COVESA Blog and social accounts. General idea is to semi-regular post updates as new features added or releases made.

24th April 2024

Agenda:

  • AMM feedback
  • Team backlog


Minutes:

  • AMM
    • Feedback
      • Paul: Digital.auto came up a few times. Uncertain about what relationship to playground
        • Steve: Personally I see the core digital.auto functionality as being the visual ideation. For that part it could be both a data feeder of VSS data to the playground and a client which uses the playground as a source.
      • Swen: was useful as first time attendee. From CVI discussion yesterday will be sharing mental model of what I perceive as the bigger picture. We need to understand each other to design the right architecture.
      • Haonan: good conference. Good to meet people finally.
      • Steve: Had some interesting conversations in the Showcase with the Playground demo. Some people really got the concept and even talked about using it in their upcoming hackathon. Also had interest from an academic.
    • Thursday workshop
      • Whiteboard:
