This will be a two day meeting. The LSB workgroup will participate with the Desktop Architects workgroup on the first day, and will meet separately the second day. The agenda on the second day will focus on finalizing the roadmaps and timelines for LSB 3.2 and 4.0.

12:00pm - 1:00pm Lunch
1:00pm - 1:30pm LSB Infrastructure: SW Systems (Vladimir Rubanov)
  • About LSB Infrastructure Program
  • Overview of LSB Infrastructure SW Systems:
    • Renewed integrated LSB Database
    • LSB Navigator
    • DTK / ATK Managers
    • LSB Certification System (announce)
  • Plans for upgrading the systems (LSB 3.2 and beoyond)

Live demonstrations planned.

Slides

1:30pm - 1:50pm Certification and Testing (Alexey Khoroshilov, Jeff Licquia)

Overview of the plans for the LSB certification system and how the testing framework fits within it. How should the LF and the LSB team handle certification and testing?

1:50pm - 2:15pm LSB Infrastructure: Testing and Analytical Components (Vladimir Rubanov)

New LSB Tests Development:

  • Current testing coverage
  • 3 testing quality grades
  • 3 testing frameworks for each grade (AZOV, T2C, UniTESK)
  • Proposed test development strategy and plans

Analytical tasks:

  • Communicating with upstream on problems in docs and implementations
  • Maintaining information in Linux Ecosystem Tracker
  • Analyzing which interfaces are in LSB by mistake and which are missing
  • Selected examples of LSB Analysis

Slides

2:15pm - 3:00pm LSB SDK and Packaging tools (Moderator: Jeff Licquia)

The current LSB SDK makes it easy to create an LSB compliant binary, but doesn't yet make it easy enough to create a distributable, easy to install LSB compliant application In this session, we'll discuss shorter term plans for making it easier to create distributable LSB applications that integrate well, such as including RPM helpers, alien, APT/yum repo generators, etc. in the LSB SDK.

3:00pm - 3:15pm Break
3:15pm - 4:00pm Accessibility (George Kraft, Janina Saika)

We will discuss best practices for developing accessible software applications with the Linux Foundation Accessibility Workgroup.

Slides

4:00pm - 4:45pm LSB 3.2 and 4.0: Owners and Key Issues

Let's discuss the roadmap and timing of these releases. Key issues to be discussed are:

  • Perl/Python
  • Packaging
  • Multimedia
  • dbus
  • Cairo and other graphics libraries
  • Java
  • OpenSSL
  • Virtualization
  • What else should be on our radar?
