I’d like to mix things up a bit this week for our technical call. Thinking about implementation details on the data transport side has me thinking about how faster change propagation affects actual business needs and risks. For example, today most of us on the content authoring side likely have a two-step workflow, where edits… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2023-02-23

I have a few all-hands situations to deal with tomorrow, both at home and at work, so I won’t be able to moderate our usual meeting. My apologies for the spate of cancellations this month — it’s been a bit of a doozy. We’ll resume next week!

I’ve completed the first draft of the receiver recommendations section of our implementation document, but would like input on the infrastructure requirements and real-world issues receivers encounter. I have my outsider’s perspective but that only goes so far. I hope to see you there, at the usual time (9:00am US Central) and place (Teams)!

I have an unexpected personal emergency that I need to handle tomorrow, and won’t be able to moderate the usual technical call. Let’s join up again next week!

Aftermarket News has just published an article by Scott Luckett about Sandpiper! In it he discusses the current state of work and highlights how we need help turning the specification into an implementation. You can read the whole thing at the link below!

I’m knee-deep in shepherding and correcting the ACES output from a new system, and I haven’t had time or mental space to devote to Sandpiper. I won’t be able to host the technical call this round — my apologies for the cancellation. We’ll pick up again on next week!

This week we’ll go over the progress of the implementation recommendations document and do some old-fashioned live collaboration. I’ve been fleshing out the market roles section and have some tone and style questions to pose, and I’d like to get this portion roughly feature-complete. I hope to see you there, at the usual time (9:00am… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2023-01-19

We’re back this week from the holiday break! It’s good to be back in the groove again. This week we’ll get our bearings , and I’ll walk through the progress on our implementation document. I hope to see you there, at the usual time (9:00am US Central) and place (Teams)!

Last week we finished our rough outline for the implementation recommendation document. We decided to stay high-level, only scratching the surface but pointing to the documentation for more detail. This way we’ll be able to help non-developer-but-still-technical leaders understand the high-level opportunities and needs of a Sandpiper implementation — and decide if it makes sense… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2022-12-14

Last week we finished up the implementation use cases matrix draft. This week we can proceed to make some specific project recommendations — outside the compare-and-contrast of a matrix, what common core criteria should we address? Storage types, database concerns, gotchas and pain points? I’d love to see you at 9:00am Central via Teams!
