Issues Descriptions

Inconsistent Definitions of RTPS Encapsulation

  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Object Computing, Inc. - OCI ( Mr. Frederick Hornsey)
  • Summary:

    There are inconsistencies in the two definitions of the RTPS Encapsulation Header I've found so far. The major issue is that the values for the encoding identifiers are different between 7.4.3.4 and 7.6.3.1.2 for non-XCDR1 encodings. These are the big-endian values compared:

    Type 7.4.3.4 7.6.3.1.2
    Plain XCDR2 0x00, 0x10 0x00, 0x06
    Parameter List XCDR2 0x00, 0x12 0x00, 0x0a
    Delimited XCDR2 0x00, 0x14 0x00, 0x08
    XML 0x01, 0x00 0x00, 0x04

    The other issue is that while 7.6.3.1.2 describes the two options bytes of the encapsulation header that follow the encoding identifier and extends it for padding info, 7.4.3. is lacking in details as far as I can see. The serialization rules has them in 7.4.3.5.3 as `OPTIONS`, but doesn't define it in any of the tables before the rules like all the other symbols are. It does mention encapsulation in 7.4.3.5, but doesn't mention anything about extending the options bytes.

OMG should have a Code of Conduct

  • Key: ABPSC-6
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Adaptive ( Mr. Pete Rivett)
  • Summary:

    Which covers expected behavior and courtesy at physical meetings, phone meetings and online. Along with process and sanctions for not following it.

    Many other conferences and communities have been caught out by lack of such, and there have been several publicized incidents which has led to people withdrawing from participation since they did not feel safe or comfortable, or to support such people. Here's the latest example https://twitter.com/MatthewGerstman/status/1110363827655376897

    In terms of precedent, here is a generic conference one https://confcodeofconduct.com/ and what the W3C has: https://www.w3.org/Consortium/cepc/

    And here is what I wrote to a current OMG working group:
    >>>
    In the meantime let’s please be polite to each other, whether in meetings or via email. And bear in mind that:
    • 1) We’re all doing this as volunteers in parallel with our “day job”;
    • 2) Hence we may have different levels of availability for this, and that may vary over time; both for calls and to read materials or work on assignments;
    • 3) Let’s show appreciation for any contributions people do make even, if they do need more work
    • 4) We each bring a different background, perspective and expertise. What may be obvious to us may need explanation to others, or them pointed to background reading (but see 2) above)
    • 5) Similarly, what may be interesting to some may not be to others.
    • 6) interpersonal issues are best dealt with one-to-one (ideally by speaking directly) rather than email to the whole list since emails can easily be misunderstood (as I’ve personally found from experience)
    • 7) we’re still new as a team so can expect to go through a “storming” stage as we get used to each other and develop a way of working and communicating. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuckman%27s_stages_of_group_development
