Please find the IRC log of last meeting below:
Attendees: Patrick, Peter, Svante
[16:29] Svante Schubert: Hello Peter  [16:29] Svante Schubert: I am dialing in  [16:30] Svante Schubert: Good timing  [16:31] Peter Rakyta: Hi Svante  [16:48] Svante Schubert: Lets figure out how to explain best a student working on Google Summer of Code (GSoC) the idea of operations, similar as done in the mail of yesterday
[16:49] Svante Schubert:  https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office-collab/201603/msg00000.html
[16:49] Svante Schubert: for instance that the operations are not idempotent nor  [16:49] Svante Schubert: commutative  [16:53] Svante Schubert: Example for commutative with two operations: "Add A at position 1" and "Add B at position 2"  [16:54] Svante Schubert: We have a ordered sequence of two operations  [16:54] Svante Schubert: For the log reader: Commutative means they are exchangeable  [16:54] Svante Schubert: by coming to the same end result (document state)  [16:54] Svante Schubert: But in this case we need to change the positions  [16:54] Svante Schubert: "Add B at position 1" and "Add A at position 1"  [16:54] Svante Schubert: Right?  [16:55] Svante Schubert: And idempotent means you can apply the same operation multiple times and the same document will occur, which is in general not the case.  [16:55] Svante Schubert: For example adding a character will always change the document state.  [17:02] Svante Schubert: Changes starting from a state of a document, similar to a versioning commit from a source state (revision)  [17:22] Svante Schubert: e.g.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_clocks
[17:23] Svante Schubert: ^^ the picture says more than the text, which seems more complicated than necessary
