2 times a year the PC/SC workgroup is having a meeting. WHEN AND WHERE? The next meeting is planned on November 15th 2011 during the "Cartes & Identification" international event in Paris, France. WHO? The members of the PC/SC workgoup are mainly smart card and reader manufacturers. Core Members: Gemalto Oracle Associate Members: Advanced Card Systems Athena Smartcard Solutions C3PO S.A. Cherry /ZF Electronics GmbH HID Global Infineon Kobil Systems GmbH NXP Semiconductors O2Micro, Inc. Realtek Semiconductor Corp. Sagem Monetel GmbH SCM Microsystems Siemens Todos Toshiba Xiring One particularly missing member is Microsoft. Microsoft was a core member for a long time but has now disappeared from the PCSC workgoup list. ME Since 1 year I am an invited member of the PC/SC workgroup as a Free Software member and author of pcsc-lite and libccid. In practice I am (just) on one of the PC/SC workgroup mailing list. This list is very quiet since nearly everything is discussed and resolved during the 2 meetings each year. YOU If you are not a member of the PC/SC workgroup you can't change the standard. But you may have good ideas for a new and missing feature. For example the FEATURE_GET_TLV_PROPERTIES service is something that was added in March 2010 after a proposal I made with the help of Gemalto. So an evolution of the standard is possible. If, as an PC/SC application author, you think something is missing in the PC/SC standard just tell me. I will try to propose it for inclusion. CONCLUSION Please share your good ideas about the evolution of PC/SC. -- Dr. Ludovic Rousseau _______________________________________________ Muscle mailing list [email protected] http://lists.drizzle.com/mailman/listinfo/muscle
