• Dirk Bradley (MI)

Notes

1.Deployment Benchmarks (continued from November)

Default template from Michigan/TRIG project looked like an acceptable instrument. Few changes suggested:

• Add BulkLoad interchanges used where bulk performance data is imcluded
• Clarify that "processor count" is number of cores
• Clarify on sheet 3 that "build time" is dashboard build time
• AZ performance work might be a model for API performance specs

Action: Eric to distribute to most mature Ed-Fi ODS implementations

Action: MI/Dirk to send out SCOM report to TAG to see if that might be useful (for future discussion)

2.  2017 Roadmap updates

See attached deck. Feedback:

• Alignment with agency cycles makes sense.
• Version number synchronization is a problem
• Technical Congress:
  • Stay away from  spring break (late March/early April)
  • Sooner so it can be booked
  • Plug for Midwest given concentration of Ed-Fi 
  • In future, have implementers host the meeting 

3.TAG Changes

Comments:

• MI/TRIG is an example of a collaborative that is more formal and prepared to represent itself - is there a way to make sure these needs are represented?
• Clarification that the division of vendors into integrators and product vendors is still part of the plan
