Minutes:

• Draft discussions
  • moved #17 to -next
  • #20 this is like a roadmap item that is not a blocker, but will be needed for checkpoint/restore
  • This process is drawing attention to the fact that we need to define a roadmap process
  • closed https://github.com/opencontainers/specs/issues/24
  • https://github.com/opencontainers/specs/pull/137  vish to cleanup for initial draft
  • merged https://github.com/opencontainers/specs/pull/164
• should they be “draft”?:
  • https://github.com/opencontainers/specs/pull/135  this needs to be a larger roadmap of “compiler agnostic schema” rather than putting this json.RawMessage into the golang structs.  opened https://github.com/opencontainers/specs/issues/166
  • https://github.com/opencontainers/specs/issues/155  punt until there is an explicit use case  only alternative to validation is to have truly nested containers.  behavior is that is should error. mrunal to take point
  • https://github.com/opencontainers/specs/pull/159
  • https://github.com/opencontainers/specs/pull/160
• Are we building the ELF for containers? Or a standard "shipping container".
  • /proc
  • serialized bundle
  • serialized file-system or just semantics around
  • Fruitful conversations!
• Much conversation on
  • spec on consumers of tooling (runc, lxc)
  • Proponents will send a draft proposal to mailing list - the concrete example of what they’re looking for should help focus the discussions.
• Define what “container” is (crosbymichael)
• Hopefully punted topics can have fruitful conversation on the mailing-list
