  • Implement an example API out of the VDM

Roadmap Review

@Paul Boyes

• Where are we?

  • collecting (relevant) use cases/domains to be officially part of VDM

• What are the big items we need to complete in the near and mid and long term?

  • Release the CLI v1.0

  • automate pipiline in VDM project

  • Migrate VSS! --TBD

• Who to best engage?

  • Stakeholder

    • top-N users of VSS

    • potential new domains that are relevant in the industry

• Are there paid projects that could help us prove the s2dm methodology and move things along more quickly? (e.g. EV Charging, Commercial Vehicle, CA State Models)
