[Oslc-communications] Notes from OSLC Connect & EclipseCon Collaboration Call

Hi All,

We had a really good meeting with Ralph Mueller of Eclipse about including
an OSLC conference with EclipseCons.

Jane took excellent notes (see below), but I'll provide a quick summary
based on my understanding:
* there is a lot of interest in OSLC and it would be a great addition to
EclipseCon
* the best fit is with the Toulouse event
* we're too late to integrate with any EclipseCon events planned for 2013
* a pre/post conference billing with EclipseCon Toulouse in 2014 would be
very good
* for Fall 2013, we should explore doing something like the ALM day
scheduled for May 27 in Berlin
* perhaps the same folks would help support and organize that effort

Please respond with your thoughts.

Also, the OSLC Steering Committee is meeting on May 8 at 1 PM EDT. We're on
the agenda to give an update on the plans.
I suggest we take the opportunity to get the StC's direction on the options
we have for the Fall, especially about cooperating with Eclipse, or not.

(Jane, Lin - I've put you on CC, please feel free to subscribe to this

Best regards,

First time event; Expecting 300 in attendance; Program content ideal for
the OSLC community
Length ? two days
Cost ? 350 Euros

EclipseCon Europe
http://www.eclipsecon.org/europe2012/ (no website yet for 2013 event)
29-31 October ? Ludwigsburg, Germany
Seasoned event; Expecting 600 in attendance; Wider range of program topics

OSLC conference background:
First time event
Fall 2013; Europe ? preferably DE, UK, FR locations
Expecting 60 in attendance
Preferred length ? two days; one track

Options discussed ? EclipseCon Europe:
      ·         Integrating the OSLC Conference into the EclipseCon agenda
      (adding a track over two days)
      ·         Co-locating the OSLC Conference with EclipseCon ? starting
      on the day before EclipseCon begins (28 Oct) and overlapping the OSLC
      second day with the EclipseCon first day
      (The EclipseCon program already includes six tracks ? there is a fear
      that adding more content will dilute our efforts either way.)
      ·         The EclipseCon program dates/locations have been officially
      announced, so there is no flexibility in shifting to accommodate
      anything new at this stage
      ·         The EclipseCon program is currently under development; An
      OSLC presentation proposal would be welcomed
      ·         Arranging a marketing barter between OASIS & EclipseCon
      would be considered -- online visibility, email announcements to
      members, etc?
      ·         EclipseCon will consider providing OASIS/OSLC a
      complimentary booth space during the event

Options discussed ? EclipseCon France 2013:
      ·         An OSLC representative should consider attending to gather
      information about the event; organizers will work with the
      representative on registration options
      ·         Arranging a marketing barter between OASIS & EclipseCon
      would be considered ? online visibility, email announcements to
      members, etc?

Options discussed - EclipseCon France 2014:
      ·         Next year?s event is scheduled to take place again in
      Toulouse, France -- in early June
      ·         OSLC topic and EclipseCon France audience are more in-line
      than the other EclipseCon events
      ·         Scheduling a collaboration for next June will allow more
      than enough time to co-organize events properly
      ·         Arranging a marketing barter between OASIS & EclipseCon
      would be considered -- online visibility, email announcements to
      members, etc?

Options discussed ? Eclipse IDD (ALM Day):
      ·         If fall is something OSLC is very much interested in ?
      there is a possibility of approaching the organizers of the Eclipse
      IDD (Fraunhofer Fokus) with a partnership proposal (OSLC & ALM)
      ·         Eclipse IDD (ALM Days) is usually hosted by Fraunhofer
      Fokus ? next one is scheduled for Berlin Germany ? 27 May (
      http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_IDD_2013)
      ·         Fraunhofer has several venue options in Germany
      ·         An OSLC presentation proposal at the next Eclipse IDD is
      still an option for OSLC to consider

Action items for OSLC/OASIS planning committee:

      ·         Discuss the notes from the call with committee members
      ·         Consider submitting OSLC proposals to the planning
      committees of Eclipse IDD & EclipseCon Europe
      ·         Identify an OSLC representative that might be able to
      attend EclipseCon France (on behalf of the group)
      ·         Evaluate sending an representative to promote OSLC at
      EclipseCon Europe, if a complimentary booth space becomes available
Action items for EclipseCon planning committee:

      ·         Discuss the notes from the call with the various committee
      members
      ·         Arrange an introduction between OASIS & EclipseCon to
      evaluate marketing barters for the various upcoming events
      ·         Notify OSLC/OASIS of any proposal submission deadlines
      and/or requirements for EclipseCon Europe
      ·         Confirm the availability of a booth space at EclipseCon
