    Rick, et al.:
     
    The presentation went well. There were several members of “core” that
    attended. John Crandall had the most comments. Overall the feedback was
    positive although I still get the feeling that printing / imaging is still
    the “red headed stepchildren” of DMTF. There only specific comment was
    about the use of ComputerSystem as a future direction for our printing /
    imaging classes. John Crandall said that services were better represented
    under ComputerSystem rather than devices. He did not suggest and
    alternative place for printing devices. He did suggest using association
    classes to link devices and services.
     
    Despite the seemingly endless rewrites of our CRs driven by last-minute
    comments from core, I got the impression from other attendees representing
    other alliances that our process is going relatively smoothly. I let John
    Crandall know that.
     
    The latest version of the presentation is posted on
    ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/general/presentations/07JUL-DMTF-Alliance-Partner-Technical-Symposium.ppt

    Craig, how did it go? Hope it was okay. There was no phone bridge that I
    could find to call into to serve as a backup, sorry.

    Rick:
     
    Have you updated the wiki to reflect the latest changing the CRs? Is your
    “work to be done” presentation also current? I can incorporate some of
    these into the presentation this morning before I head off to Portland to
    present this afternoon.

    Craig and Harry,
     
    No problema. The Monday session was a big surprise to me, and I
    mistakenly thought that 1:00 was the same as 1:00, but one of them was
    Monday and one Wednesday. I apologize for the confusion, but I was
    completely surprised by the mention of a Core-specific planning session
    that I had never heard about before.
     
    The Monday Core session was only about estimating the workload for next
    year. I called in then and told Core about the remaining work in
    - Printer device (a dozen-ish new classes plus corrections, approx fifteen
    new CRs),
    - plus the coming work for PrintService (approx 8-10 new CRs),
    - PrintJob (no estimates), PrintQueue, and PrintSAP.
    And I mentioned that there might be similar work for projectors (more than
    six months from now) and a profile for network printers (also more than
    six months from now).
     
    I sent them a couple pictures from our Visios with small annotations,
    which I also posted on our site as
     
    ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/cim/
    Visio-Printer_11_WhatRemainsToBeDone_B.pdf
     
    The session Wednesday seems to be a different topic, status and plan
    update, and I think the slides you did are right on the money.
     
    Please let us know how it comes out. Thanks. Again, sorry for the
    confusion.

    Craig, appreciate you doing the best you can here. Seems like some
    date/time info may have been miscommunicaed.
    I'm sure I'd heard Wed 7/18.
    In any case... I know Mark said webex dialup would be a viable option.

    Rick:
      
    The last e-mail I received from Mark Carlson was on 6/22. This is the
    first I have heard of the Alliance F2F next week, Monday @ 1PM PT.
    Unfortunately I have a conflict at that time. I hope the Core session is
    OK with you calling in.
      
    Thanks,

    Craig, I just heard from Jon Crandall, co-chair of the CIM Core WG, that
    they would like PWG representation at a meeting at the Alliance F2F next
    week, Monday @ 1PM PT, specifically at a Core session for planning next
    year. Are you planning to go to that session or some other one? They
    would like to hear in particular how far we are down the path and how far
    we still have to go. The question is how many CRs do we expect to put in
    next year (I interpret that as the next 12 months starting now) so they
    can plan for resources.
      
    I will try to get complete info on the meeting name, location, time, and
    so forth. Unfortunately, some of the schedule is published only to TC
    members, of which I am not one. Did you get a schedule by email from Mark
    Carlson? If I can get the phone information, I will call into the
    meeting, too.
      
    Here is some crude info in case you need some: we have about twelve
    classes left to go to finish the printer device, after the four that
    passed today. We are roughly half way through the technical stuff, but I
    think we are 75% of the way through the controversies over class structure
    and property structure. So it should take slightly less time to finish
    the Printer device. How, how much time the PrintService and other classes
    will take is hard to estimate. I haven't really looked at them. I expect
    that there will be several classes added, primarily for capabilities and
    settings.

    PS: Your email signature does not contain a phone number, so I couldn't
    get hold of you that way.

    All:
      
    A draft presentation for the DMTF Alliance Partner Technical Symposium in
    Portland, OR on July 18th has been posted (see
    ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/general/presentations/07%20JUL%20DMTF%20Alliance%20Partner%20Technical%20Symposium.ppt
    ). We will review this as part of our face-to-face meeting. I look
    forward to your comments.
      
    Best regards,
