Minutes of DCE Business workgroup meeting held November 1, 1994
* 25 people attended
* Maryanne Hondo/HP Chelmsford gave a short presentation on
a single signon project underway in the Security working group.
The goal of the project is to produce 3 documents:
(1) a roadmap that defines the single signon landscape and
DCE's role within it
(2) an architecture/API --- this to be published as 2 RFCs,
user and admin
(3) a compendium of end-user requirements
The Security workgroup is meeting on Thursday, November 3rd during
SuperSIG week.
Send input and feedback to hondo@apollo.hp.com.

DCE 1.1 Admin, API, and Internals courses are in progress;
work-in-progress courses are scheduled beginning this month.

John agreed to publish training statistics, e.g. number of people
trained, vs time, by industry, by geography, etc.

projects in 1995. Questions/input to Joe Maloney/OSF and

* DCE Demo
- The need for a new DCE demo was discussed. There was no clear
consensus on whether to stay with the current DDP, to improve DDP,
or to create an entirely new demo. This will be one of the topics at
the cooperative marketing meeting on Nov 2nd.
* Business workgroup
- The consensus was that the group should continue to meet
- Anyone interested in being chair/co-chair should throw their hat
in the ring immediately --- contact brink@transarc.com or
donovan@apollo.hp.com.
- The composition of the workgroup was discussed --- it was observed
that to be effective we need more participation by ISVs in particular.
