After September, it’s clear I’m not going to get clear of the personal and professional workloads I have until the first of the year at least. The break did give me some perspective and reaffirmed my feelings that Sandpiper itself needs to proceed on the adoption and resource fronts before we can make solid technical… Continue reading Technical Calls to Hibernate for the Early Winter

I’m afraid I’ve been unable to effectively clear my plate at all over these last two weeks (well, I’ve cleared it off, but it keeps getting new things added onto it!), and I am now pretty much booked up through the end of September. I have snatches of time here and there but not enough… Continue reading No Technical Calls for September

Once again I find myself wrapped up in projects that can’t be shifted around. This week, certainly, but also possibly next week depending on some travel I may have to undertake. I’ll update this posting when I know more about the 31st. My apologies for the spotty availability this month! Edit: I didn’t end up… Continue reading No Technical Call 2023-08-24 & 2023-08-31

This week I’m not going to be able to moderate our call, so let’s skip and resume next Thursday as usual. We’ve had a few good weeks of intense discussion and I hate to break the streak, but I’m up against some competing priorities that I can’t move around. I’ll see you on the next… Continue reading No Technical Call 2023-08-17

Last week we had a good discussion about creating a Sandpiper Lite specification, and it looks like it’ll be valuable to start seriously designing it. More and more I’m thinking that the full lift of implementing Sandpiper proper (crossing network, database, and application domains) is too heavy for the kind of teams and companies we… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2023-08-10

This week we can continue our discussions about implementation barriers, and can share a few small updates on the project. As always, our meeting is open to all! Please feel free to join at the usual time (9am US Central) and place (Teams).

This week I’m tied up completing a publication cycle and won’t have the spare bandwidth to moderate our usual technical call. Let’s reconvene next week, when we can resume discussions about potential alternate Sandpiper modes. Stay safe, and see you soon!

I’ve had some good feedback this week from a few people who’ve looked at implementing the framework but had questions and uncertainties. I’d like to share those and get your thoughts, as well as continue our discussion about future aspects of the standard, time permitting. Last week we only got through the WebSocket piece, so… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2023-07-20

This week let’s resume our brainstorming for the future roadmap of the Sandpiper standard. I’d particularly like to revisit the concept of two-way messaging, assessments, and chain-of-custody fingerprinting. I’d also love to hear your thoughts on WebSocket programming and whether that choice from three years ago still holds strong as the best persistent connection method… Continue reading Technical Call Agenda 2023-07-13

This week is a short one for those of us in the US, and unfortunately I am double-booked tomorrow. Let’s hold off until next week, when we’ll have more breathing room. I hope you’re staying safe and life is good!
