I am feeling a bit uneasy with Collab meeting talks about interfaces that are not fully defined yet. There are a number of issues that have not been solved, including basic things like the intended use of DA or even the general structure of the client libraries. (A topic which I tried to put on the agenda for last week's VC meeting with no success.)
Plus - at the moment - there is only one person in the whole wide world that even knows the last status of these interfaces.

Please make at least sure that all talks about the proposed CA, DA and user level interfaces are strictly reports about work-in-progress, not about their final definition.
And please have the talks ready early enough for the core team to have a look at them before they are held. Before as in a couple of days before, not a couple of minutes.

Don't get me wrong: This is not a matter of mistrusting anybody, I'm just afraid that things get publickly shaped in concrete before they have been discussed and agreed upon within the core people. I also strongly support talking about plans and intended structures, possibilities and choices, just don't present them as final when they aren't.

So I added a talk for Jeff to discuss the V4 CA Client interface. It will be a good oppurtunity for people to understand what we are planning to give them. I put Kay's talk about how to use it after. 30 minutes for each talk and then 15 minutes for questions. Is this OK? Should I have 15 miuntes for questions after Jeff's talk as well as 15 mintues after Kay's.

I did not add a discussion on Data Access - Ralph will not be there.
The presentatation of the Protocol is in the core session Thur night.

I am notifying Matthias that we need to have involvement in the core session from the EPICS office folks with this email. - Matthias - we are wanting to get this team involved with the data access interface. It would probably be best to have that session Thur day - so that when we get together Thur night - the Office folks will have had some exposure. I'll work that around.

Is this OK?
Bob
