Notes

Chris Lomonico

• Tasked with the DNS Caching item
• Asked about receiving a particular form of access

Arien Malec

• Responded that Chris has access, but needs to use his Google Code password

Chris Lomonico

• Reported that he has certain items to change around
• Informed the CSharp team that he has worked around a few things
  • There is a DNS resolver in the DNS source code
  • Had to put something into the comment due to the structuring

Umesh Madan

• Asked if the base cache clause could have gone into the resolver

Chris Lomonico

• Chris responded "yes," however he can move things around as well

Umesh Madan

• Commented that there should be a base DNS with cache
  • Put the resolver there
  • That is where the CERT resolver with cache can go
• Mentioned that the code can be upgraded (by him)

Chris Lomonico

• Responded that he can create a base caching class, and then a DNS caching class

Umesh Madan

• Agreed that is one way to proceed
• Regardless, emphasized that they need to make sure the ball is rolling with this item

Arien Malec

• Directed next item of the DNS responder to Sean Nolan

Umesh Madan

• Highlighted that Sean Nolan was not on the call yet, Umesh addressed that item
• Informed CSharp team that he will take that item on himself because Sean Nolan has limited time this week
  • Umesh rather have Sean Nolan focus on the chain builder
  • Umesh will focus on the integration piece
• Noted that the team can run the agent without a responder because they already have BIND
• Ranked the item medium
  • Will take it on Wednesday with the aim of completing by the end of the week

Arien Malec

• Moved to next item of Config UI
• Realized Claudio Sanchez is not on the call

Umesh Madan

• Clarified that Claudio Sanchez had worked with Umesh Madan on the Config UI item
• Commented that they had checked the Config UI in and it has worked
  • They tried it this past Friday, and the deployment on Friday was successful
  • They used Claudio Sanchez's tool to push out the CERTs
• Added that they will still need about three to four days of error checks before the Config UI is solid for beta-testing

Arien Malec

• Requested that Umesh Madan make a quick "how to" guide for the Config UI
  • This will enable Arien Malec to document it

Umesh Madan

• Agreed to create a skeleton of the Config UI this week

Arien Malec

• Responded that he had the intention to create a full "how to" guide

Umesh Madan

• Added that he is trying to deploy it himself this week
• Commented that in general, if something takes me more than two steps, then it is not as useful
• Stated that he will start with the bullet points on the Config UI

Arien Malec

• Responded that he is essentially working in support mode to make this happen

Umesh Madan

• Noted that screen-shots of the code would be useful in Arien's final "how to" guide
  • This would make the guide "empathetic" to the user
• Affirmed that he will work on the Config UI item over his vacation
• Added that it is okay, because Sean Nolan will then have to deal with his setup scripts

Vassil Peytchev

• Answered that he had just joined the BugScrub
• Informed the CSharp Team that he unfortunately did not make as much progress last week
  • Has the base classes
  • Needs to add the generation part to pull everything together
• Added that he should make some progress today
  • Plans to commit some changes before the Reference Implementation call tomorrow

Arien Malec

• Asked if the XD* piece will work with the XDM?

Vassil Peytchev

• Responded that "yes," the XDS piece will work with XDM piece
• Added that he is currently working on it

Umesh Madan

• Informed Vassil Peytchev that the admin code is also ready once Vassil is ready to integrate

Sean Nolan

• Addressed the chain builder, commenting that it is not done
  • Planned to work on it this weekend
  • Worked on the blue button changes instead
  • Any intermediate CERT won't work, but plans to have it done this week

Arien Malec

• Asked: "That only does not work if you need to fetch the certificate, right?"

Sean Nolan

• Responded yes - this will work fine in his internal machine

Umesh Madan

• Stressed that the chain builder always gives him nervous angst
  • Asked Sean to check it for bugs

Sean Nolan

• Replied "sure thing"

Umesh Madan

• Moved to next item:Setup OneBox reference installation
  • John Theisen is not present because he is still out sick
• Brought of the idea of transferring to an MSI
  • Despite people who don't mind scripts, will probably document them anyways

Arien Malec

• Added that a few good bullet points will be useful

Sean Nolan

• Commented that the license bugging issue will be fixed shortly
• Focused on the "root namespace convention"
  • Arien had a good suggestion
  • Should get done before any client libraries are up there

Umesh Madan

Arien Malec

• Classic weekend project

Umesh Madan

• Moved to the "trust model.enforce" item
  • Arien and Umesh will concentrate on this, perform a meld
• Stated that these are two separate naming issues
  • Asked if they should be "medium" or "low"
