[oslc] OSLC Open Source Project Proposal

[Steve K Speicher]

Dear OSLC Community Members,

We are drafting a proposal [1] for a companion open source project in 
support of the OSLC specification efforts occurring at 
http://open-services.net. 

The OSLC Open Source Project is planned to be hosted at SourceForge.net 
and possibly include:
    * test suites for testing OSLC service provider implementations  *** 
initial contribution planned by IBM ***
    * reference implementations of OSLC core and domain services for use 
in testing OSLC clients *** contribution planned by IBM ***
    * sample code and applications *** contribution planned by IBM ***
    * tools, models, pictures, etc. used in the specification process
    * specification artifacts that need to be under version control (e.g. 
namespace documents) 

The proposal and project are going to defined and maintained by a core set 
of committers as defined in the proposal.

This project will look to align with other appropriate open source 
projects such as Eclipse, Apache, etc  if and when needed. The focus of 
this OSLC open source project is narrowly on specification and 
implementation validation.

Please respond to this email thread or me directly regarding any questions 
or interests in participating in this group.
