This post is primarily a formalization of the 832 post to establish a standing working group dedicated to identifying & prioritizing future requirements for the Project Haystack community.

For those looking to get things kicked off, I plan on having our first meeting the week of July 20th. Please make sure to join the working group, as I will send out a Doodle poll for scheduling probably early next week (and will need emails!). I will then also add you to the Google Drive where the schedule, meeting minutes, and group documents will be hosted.

Looking forward to it!

Announcement

I've revived this working group and will be scheduling a recurring bi-weekly meeting for Wed, Aug 4, 9-10 MT for us to start working again. A small group of us from the last meeting in March met this morning to reorganize and prioritize objectives (sorry if I left you off the invite).

If you're an existing member, please let me know here or via email if you'd like to continue your involvement in the group.

New members are welcome to join. Please see https://project-haystack.org/forum/topic/832 for background.

Thanks!

Hi all, I am working with the organizing committee for Haystack Connect and we plan to have a series of working group updates. The conference is virtual and taking place between September 13-15, 2022.

Is there anyone on your WG willing and able to present a good update of the latest activity, or the latest thinking, of your working group for the broader community? This is a good way to get more people engaged and to bring new ideas to the forefront. If you see this as a good opportunity to engage the community, please submit an abstract here to speak at the conference:

Have there been any updates regarding this working group?

@Hiroko Masuda it's not common practice to maintain updates here. Instead, they're shared with the forum separately. However, I've summarized below. Looks like you've joined, so I will add you to the bi-weekly meetings.

1. Attributes Proposal
2. TAG PROPOSAL | elec | heatPump | volt
3. TAG PROPOSAL | compressor | mech | serviceFactor
4. TAG PROPOSAL | system and others
5. TAG Proposal | Portfolio, Campus + more

Can I also be added to the bi-weekly meetings please ? Thanks

I've stepped down as the Champion for this WG so I can devote more time to other projects. Thanks for everyone's contributions and help. Please let Brian Frank know if you'd like to take over leading the group.

Hi,

The Haystack Labs working group is defining data models for point, equip, and system entities used in real-world Smart Building, EV Charging, and Electric Power Monitoring applications. Also, as mentioned in another recent forum post by Brian, we will be now discussing Xeto and v5 ontology work in the Labs working group.

We meet every other Thursday from 3PM to 4PM ET (New York time). The next meeting will be held on Thursday, July 17.

For example, at last week's meeting we discussed generic points used for VFDs and motors and Brian covered some Xeto and v5 work. In recent previous meetings we discussed water systems and vendor specific Xeto device models being developed as community contributions.

Want to get involved?

If so, then please send me an email ([email protected]) and I will add you to the reoccurring meeting invitation.

Also, please update your current involvement with the Labs WG here if applicable.
