Agenda and Minutes

• Short Updates:
  • Next meetings: Goal is to transition to biweekly and have more technical discussions. To be evaluated over time
  • Node.js Conf: https://geekle.us/schedule/nodejs24 - Next week at 5pm (after TD call)
• Node-RED contribs from Hideki
  • Are we ok to move to Eclipse Thingweb in some form? -> The participants agree.
  • Option 1: New repo in Eclipse Thingweb -> The group agrees to that
  • Option 2: package of node-wot -> If a package goes out of date, we get blocked. Node-RED would be another ecosystem so no need to use monorepo approach.
  • Option 3: new node-wot-contribs repo with this package, among other contributions from community -> This is more for bindings
  • Has issue dependencies at node-wot: https://github.com/eclipse-thingweb/node-wot/issues/1241, https://github.com/eclipse-thingweb/node-wot/issues/1237 , https://github.com/eclipse-thingweb/node-wot/issues/1233
• TD Tools: https://github.com/eclipse-thingweb/td-tools/pull/5/files#
• Important PRs or Discussions in Thingweb Components
  • (coming from test things discussion) We should review the examples pipeline.
  • Better Eventing for Browser (longpolling doesn't scale to multiple connections)
    • MQTT over WS
    • SSE -> We will do one SSE connection per thing where event name is affordanceType/affordanceName and then the data underneath. We will also add the id but we are not sure how it can be used on the Consumer side. The last part is up for discussion.
    • Plain WS
• Google Account issue: https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/helpdesk/-/issues/3995
  • Not clear how to use the account
  • If no access -> we can ask for forwarding and to be added to each service as admin/write access.
• Logo usage, is everything clear? Title or not discussion.
  • Usage clear. We need guidelines in general
  • TODO is listed at https://github.com/eclipse-thingweb/thingweb/issues/5

Action Items

• Understanding the logo usage guidelines from eclipse (see https://github.com/eclipse-thingweb/thingweb/tree/main/brand/logos)
• Moving relevant tools to td-tools from playground and node-wot
• Ask for a blank slate for the server from Eclipse in next year. Should work before HMI
• Create a small page in wiki for the "documentation" section in this page

Decisions and Resolutions

• New repo in Eclipse Thingweb called "node-red". Node-red package name will be prefixed by @eclipse-thingweb. For the node-wot nodes with the latest contributions from Hideki, it is "node-red-node-wot".
• Move anything but counter example to test-things and integrate to the docker compose. node-wot should have one-shot examples of how to use it for the ones who clone the repo.
