	General Discussion	all participants

Other Proposed Topics

• Status GSI: Transactional Settings?
• Status CERN: Decoupling FESA FWK code / CMW?, possibility to use another protocol than RDA
• Status CERN: "controlled" usage of shared libraries
• Status CERN: integration of cycle-bound idea
• moving to git instead of SVN? first for FWK, later for users? Eclipse Photon cannot handle SVN CLI anymore
• Device Power State enumeration is not intuitive (0=undefined, 1=on, 2=off), general design change desirable -> 0=off???
• unification of units-value-item and value-item child units
• Configuration Options (fesa.cfg / command line Options combined, obsolete Options)
• Metaproperties (Class Version etc.)
• Executable checksum (To validation that the expected binary is in use)
• Error Messages with Parameters (Condition Compiler / CERN equivalent)
• Middleware - decoupling from RDA (CERN Project)
• C++11 for fesa-core and dependencies (e.g. replacing boost with std)
• Exceptions should contain device name wherever possible (core / specific part) - exceptions are thrown per field, device seems not accessible at that moment in the core. See also CERN Jira issue 6337, https://www-acc.gsi.de/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1543.
• GSI: REST interfaces for CS / DB
• Subscriptions: solutions to adjust the notification rate, to reduce the amount of data sent, update the client only on significant data changes (tolerance settings required!)
