Meeting Minutes

Summary Meeting Notes
The meeting centred on the Margo project’s progress and future actions. Significant updates included pinpointing challenges related to application endpoint discovery, with proposals still awaiting review. Schneider's commitments, including evaluating Docker Compose and app trust, are at various stages, with some advancements noted. The discussion regarding non-root containers underscored the importance of additional internal discussions. The team consented to adjust expectations for the preview release, considering resource declaration and WASM integration. Silvano presented Link ML to formalize specifications and enhance consistency and validation. The team aims to finalize these elements in the upcoming workshop in January.

Action Items

• Document the "required resources by applications" topic as future work in an appendix or disclaimer for the preview release.
• Split the Wasm integration issue and move the first point (straightforward integration) to the "In Progress" column while listing the other points as future work.
• Present the work on using LinkML for the application package definition specification in the larger group during the Thursday calls.
