Agenda

• Workgroup news
• Meeting time & frequency: proposed alt time?
• 2.0 Issues
  • encoding of UI preview labels
  • json representation ambiguities
• 3.0 content and priorities discussion
  • We'll talk about various priorities for Core 3.0 and OSLC in general. This will mostly be a discussion to review feedback given so far and gather information on priorities.
  • Proposed themes:
    • Adoption - evaluate what tasks can be done to help with general adoption of specs - tutorials, SDKs, supporting docs to spec, validating the level of OSLC support through a scale
    • Simplification - along the same theme of adoption, look for ways to continue to simplify both the number of concepts, model and overall complexity of OSLC, reducing the technical barriers to adoption. This includes alignment with other standards bodies like W3C? around linked data patterns.
    • Community Growth - ways to broaden the community and solidify OSLC as an independent entity opening the door for larger community
    • DevOps - expanding the reach of ALM into operations which also has some implications of OSLC support strictly within Ops
    • PLM - exposes specification and guidance on spec usage for PLM
    • ALM continued - looking at additional scenarios needed.  Think of it as a continued evolution of what we have today.
  • OslcCoreV3Plan
• Upcoming meetings:
  • Sept 7 - (tentative) continued 3.0 content progress
  • Sept 21 - (tentative) continued 3.0 content progress

Minutes

Workgroup news

• AM 2.0 final
• Eclipse Lyo project moving forward
• Automation WG looking to revive in coming months.
• Communications WG to kick off

Meeting time & frequency: proposed alt time?

• Wed @ 2, prob with this in UK ACTION: Steve to send out survey for better time

2.0 Issues

• encoding of UI preview labels in dcterms:title
  • Arthur: spec seems right, that valid content in HTML is in but example seems
  • ACTION: Steve to setup meeting with implementers on proposed resolution: invite at least: Paul, Arthur, Sam,
• json representation ambiguities
  • Looking for someone to investigate these ambiguities
  • JohnArwe said these issues aren't major but be good to have feedback sooner than later

3.0 content and priorities discussion

  • PLM - exposes specification and guidance on spec usage for PLM
  • ALM continued - looking at additional scenarios needed. Think of it as a continued evolution of what we have today.
  • Arthur: would be very valuable to have overall conceptual model of all domains and their model. Nick: this will get worse over time.
• OslcCoreV3Plan
  • Time table of 2Q2012 for Core 3.0 seen as too soon. Look to complete towards end of 2012. Need to get feedback from key stakeholders on priorities and time tables.
• JohnArwe: question of domain URI to use for SPC when not a standard domain yet: queued up for upcoming meeting

Upcoming meetings:

• Sept 7 - (tentative) continued 3.0 content progress
• Sept 21 - (tentative) continued 3.0 content progress
