Minutes

  • White paper -- Jon
    • Minor editing on the wiki from about 10 people. Mostly security folks.
    • Full editorial pass by marketing (SAP).
    • Close to the end
    • A couple of minor editorial items identified by Shel.
    • Marketing is ready to go publish
    • Xiaofeng: can links, such as www.abc.com (understanding the same origin policy section of the paper)?
      • Jon: once pulled out of the wiki, it will no longer be a live link.
  • Resources wiki -- started by Sachiko
    • Naohiki: had discussion with the Microsoft team. Have initial agreement.
    • Jon: Is the set of topics the right topics? Best breakdown?  ???
      • Good break down for the first pass. May need to add some sections, such as XSS and CSRF, and DoS.
    • Jon: For each topic, e.g., testing tools, do we want to give an overview and put into context the purpose of the content/links?
    • IBM TRL (Sachiko/Naohiko) to contribute more to this page. Does Microsoft have some resource reference to contribute? Others on the Security TF?
      • Xiaofeng: Watchfire which has testing tools
      • Resume discussion next time.
  • Communication TF & Interop Working Group
    • Jon report status
    • Comm TF: how to move forward? What working groups needed?
      • Disband the task force, and move the work to the Interop WG, which includes Comet.
    • Hub 1.1 features is off and running and will be done within the Interop WG.
    • Consensus appears to be to move this into open source
      • Implement and then write the spec.
      • Michael Steiner: Don't we need test cases if we were to implement & then specify.
      • Jon: Agree. Not sure how to make this happen. Would need something like a mini-mashup app. that doesn't do much, but would validate the ideas.
      • Michael: For Hub 1.0, can we use some of the test cases from that exercise?
      • Jon: Mini-mashup or interop demos?
      • Larry: How to get some code for testing?
      • Jon: Create a branch/tree in the repository and bring it up in the interop working group. Propose how to move into the main line.
      • Jon: Had written the interop test code template, with some help. 12 companies took those template and then refined them to build out.
      • Jon: We have the use cases on the security page.
      • Jon: Comm has use cases. However, the security use cases are better fleshed out.
      • Jon: will send out setup process details. Explain where to put your sandbox efforts.
  • Server / proxy side security issues
    • Michael: Server side only, as well as server side issues which impact the client.
    • Larry: start to add these issues to the use cases web pages. Then follow up with additions to the security approaches pages.
    • Xiaofeng: Trust issues when logic moves from server to client. Will contribute some text for the wiki's use cases.
  • Next meeting: September.
  • OpenAjax Alliance meeting September 27 in Mountainview. Hosted by Microsoft. (Friday will be a mobile workshop) Security TF meeting on Friday? At SAP in Palo Alto on Page Mill? Or in Menlo Park, which can hold 20-25 people.
    • Maybe have a security item on the agenda on September 27 since there will be greater participation.
    • Need to decide on an agenda for a f2f meeting
