Oslo: Progressive Revelation
BobMu mentioned “Oslo” and “M” briefly yesterday and we released the CTP in concert with this.
A couple notes about this release…
- This is a hyper-early (pre-alpha) CTP that shows our progress to date.
- It includes what we call the “Oslo” SDK – which is “M”, the repository, a core set of models, and tooling (including “Intellipad” – Intellisense Workpad).
- This is all part of what I consider a “Early, Open, Often” engagement with our customers, partners and the community (including the open source community)
Today, I am going to introduce “Oslo” to the PDC audience in much greater detail.
Once that is complete, you will see a great deal of engagement from the engineering teams working on this technology.
Once I get done with my talk, I’ll have more details here…
[...] And then there is MGrammar. Things get a little confusing at that point if you try to relate MGrammar to “M”. Actually, the FAQ states that “the M language consists of three parts: MGraph, MSchema and MGrammar“. This came a bit as a surprise to me since at that point I had finished reading (not in details but not too quickly either) the “M” documentation and I hadn’t seen these names mentioned once. Looks like there is some documentation consistency issues here, but that’s hardly surprising considering this is a “hyper-early (pre-alpha)” release as Doug Purdy puts it. [...]
