WGSC Meeting Organizers

WGSC held consensus checkpoint meeting last week

Modes work merged to dev.
Policy work largely moved to dev. Some work on rates remains, since moved to dev.
Agency/Provider Unification draft almost complete, since moved to dev.
Some Miscellaneous tasks remain. See 2.0 Checkpoint Consensus for more details.

Open items

See items tagged with 2.0 in Github for full list.
Drover AI items will be included (parking validation, scooter tip over detection, surface type)
OpenAPI - OMF to hire contractor to move MDS 2.0 into OpenAPI. This will allow MDS producers/consumers to use OpenAPI tools to validate schemas. Ready before final approval of MDS 2.0.

Provider/Agency Alignment

Big change is that both APIs will have the same endpoints and data structures. Provider API involves cities pulling data from operators. Agency involves operators pushing data to cities.
The goal is that if either or an Agency or Provider has an implementation of one API, they are 85% of the way to the other.
Alignment within Agency as well, e.g., bulk operations/payloads available in all endpoints
Review dev to see how it all looks. Leave any comments for Agency/Provider Alignment in PR 796

Release Plan

WGSC will meet next week to finalize release candidate. Then start internal review process: Privacy Committee, Strategy Committee, and Tech Council. Then to OMF Board for review.
Goal is to bring release candidate to WG at February 16th meeting, and wider release announcement for April 19, but it’s possible that the review process may extend the timeline.
WGSC will produce upgrade supporting materials. Will aim to have an upgrade cohort so that those who are upgrading can go through it together.
Working Group meetings may be cancelled to focus on release, or meetings will have a targeted focus on release or upgrading.
