This week I’ve completed the last of the ACES granulation strategy, incorporating the feedback from the community on our last call. I also wrote an initial file granulation strategy description and need some opinions on how to specify restrictions for the file path itself. Just as a stub, I set the restriction for a file… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2022-08-18

This week I’ll summarize the changes I’ve made and get your feedback on a few topics related to key-values slices and delimited values. I believe this should wrap up the last of the fundamental ACES granulation discussion and clear the way for the PIES strategy writing, but I’m sure there will still be some good… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2022-08-11

This week I’ll go over the final touches to the ACES App granulation section of the documentation and get any feedback there before I push it to the main branch. And I’d like to write up a good list of what still needs doing to hit our goal of having the 1.0 final spec ready… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2022-08-04

I’m back on the course this week, having stabilized the state of some ongoing data migrations at work, and having exited panic mode. This week we’ll resume our technical calls, focusing on catching back up to where we were at the beginning of the month, summarizing changes and work in progress, and then venturing into… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2022-07-28

Regretfully, some system project deadline commitments are coming down the pipeline and I won’t be able to take part in our usual weekly technical call this week or next.

This week we’re back in action. On our last call we went into the PIES schema and identified a need there to use the part number plus its branding as an item key. Aaron at Opticat brought up that some suppliers do in fact have part numbers that overlap between their subbrands, so we will… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2022-07-07

This week, unfortunately, I have to cancel the technical call. I have some urgent work to complete this week and haven’t been able to carve out the time for Sandpiper. My apologies to those of you who were excited to continue our PIES granulation discussions! Let’s reconvene next week at the usual time and channel.… Continue reading No Technical Call 2022-06-30

This week, it’s time for us to dig into PIES. Not the delicious, calorie-laden treats so artfully prepared by bakers around the world — no, I’m talking about PIES, the exciting XML product information exchange standard. We’ve reached a good point on our ACES granulation strategy work. I’m in the process of updating the official… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2022-06-23

Today we’ll be discussing the granulation strategy decisions I wrote up yesterday, and getting our final round of commentary on it. We’ll also talk about the DigitalFileInformation element and how we may need to accommodate it. I hope to see you there! The meeting starts at our usual time, 9am US Central. Just click on… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2022-06-16
