Hi All,
It was very apparent at the DMLT meeting we just finished that everyone is very confused what butler really is, what it does, what its roles are, what APIs is has, and most importantly what it will and will not do in the future. To address that I’d like to start a series of conversations with a goal to agree on and document the butler vision, roles, APIs, and roadmap how we are going to get there. I imagine a small number of “larger” meetings plus small focused meetings (eg between @npease and/or me and/or @ktl + one or more from UW or Princeton or IPAC or SQUARE or NCSA)
Since many people are away most of next week due to Thanksgiving, I propose we start the week after, with a kick-off meeting (everyone interested) on Wednesday Dec 2nd 10:00am pacific using ls.st/sup hangout.
