familiarize themselves with all of the material prior to our meeting on

3. Status of Activities of the INCITS
Study Group on Linux

3.1 Feedback from INCITS EB Meeting
January 2005 (if any)
|
(D. Thewlis |
Reference:
No feedback has been received. Mr. Jameson noted that he did not
recall any comments on the report at the INCITS EB Meeting.
| 3.2 Status of Ongoing Development of
Organizational Positions and Comments |
(D. Thewlis)
|
Mr. Stoughton noted that he has
circulated his first draft of LSB editor comments on the LSB core
document, but not yet on the architecture
specific documents, to the ISGL reflector on 27 January. Mr Stoughton
noted that in a few places the "Proposed change" was too large to be
added to the comments template, and proposed using a specially marked
up version of the document to highlight all the changes proposed. Mr.
Stoughton also noted that FSG used the wrong stylesheet for the LSB
2.0.1 document as submitted to ISO, which has been corrected with 2.1,
which results in mechanical comparators finding false "differences".
Thus any attached new version of the document would need to be
specially marked to remove the false differences and show only the
"real" differences.
The group discussed whether such an approach would be appropriate to
submit. Mr. Jameson noted that it might not be appropriate as it could
be viewed as a "replacement" to the original ISO submission, which
could cause substantial confusion. Our job is to register comments not
solutions; a more appropriate time for any such document would be as
input to the ballot resolution process after the ballot closes.
The group believed that the most important comment to note was that it
was aware that the FSG had further developed the specification since
submittal, and would disapprove of any divergence between the formally
approved ISO IS 23360 and the FSG document.
Wim noted that Oracle was still in the process of reviewing the DIS but
expected to meet the 11 February deadline.
