Community & Implementation Updates

    SteveSpeicher posted a video on planning OSLC implementations.
    W3C community groups demo
    EclipseCon coming in March. MichaelFiedler will attend.

Specification Issues Review

    SteveSpeicher has proposed a change to the wording around link labels.
Desire to have labels handled in a common way in OSLC Core. Some concern
about using reification since W3C might deprecate reified statements in RDF
(OSLC Core workgroup investigating). BrianSteele +1 to the proposed
wording.

CmStateTransitions Review

SteveSpeicher mentions we should go back to the scenarios behind state
transitions to inform our design. Three scenarios identified:

    CM of Requirements - BrianSteele: Need oslc_cm:actionResolve and
oslc_cm:actionClose. The resolve action might work better with delegated UI
in thise case (to add reviewers), whereas the close action should be
headless.
    ITOpsToDev - Need to update the state of resources in two different
systems on actions.
    IDE Integration - RobertElves will look at defining useful actions in
ScenariosMylyn to feed into the CmStateTransitions design. SteveSpeicher
mentioned that most Mylyn scenarios seem to require headless state
transitions. RobertElves agreed.

SteveSpeicher asked about intermediate states. Is there a way to move a CR
to a state immediately that might require more than one state transition
internally in the CM tool?

SofiaYeung and RobertElves talked about understanding what fields are
required to change states (headless). SteveSpeicher mentioned that one
benefit of the current proposal is that you perform a GET on the action URI
to determine this.

W3C Community Groups Update

Date for trial to start is still TBD.
