Hello fellow OSLC Communications User Group members:
In May Parham, our UG lead, presented our work on OSLC Connect to the OSLC
Steering Committee (agenda item [1], minutes [2]).
Unfortunately, there was not time for the StC to provide feedback during
the call, so they continued their discussion afterward by email (mail
thread [3]).
Here is the direction they have agreed upon:
* Our target audience is twofold:
1) Technology / Solution Provider who want to do OSLC based
implementations to provide interoperability or to make their own tools
interoperable
2) End User Companies who are looking for standards to make their
(IT, Systems/Software Engineering, etc) platforms & processes better
integrated. These Companies want to select and influence promising
standards and want to push their (tool) suppliers to adapt the right
standards.
* Establish a one 1-day workshop, advertised as "OSLC Connect", and
associated with an existing ALM event. (For example, before/after Innovate
UK, one before/after ALM Summit, EclipseCon, etc)
Further idea: We could establish a series of these workshops if
successful.
* The workshops will share expert opinions on best practices, patterns for
using OSLC, successful experiences. (I suggest the experts are invited).
In addition to this, there is 10 minutes reserved on the Steering Committee
agenda for June 7 to discuss any update on OSLC Connect that can be
provided [4]. If it is possible to provide a written status update by
Wednesday, June 5, the Steering Committee will review and discuss during
the meeting.
Whether or not that is possible, the Steering Committee does request that a
written update, including a plan, be made available by the end of June.
I know the Steering Committee is quite interested in seeing OSLC Connect
become a reality and are counting on us to get it done.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about this update.
